eli5: Can someone live a healthy full life by substituting vegetables with regular multivitamins
In: 0
Yep.
I’ve got an eating disorder so vegetables (amongst other foods) are pretty much impossible for me to eat. According to dietitians and nutritionists I should’ve come out of puberty with severe deficiencies and issues like infertility, weak bones, poor lung capacity, etc.
I’m now a completely fine and healthy 26 year old without any deficiencies. Don’t even take any vitamin supplements. I stopped eating vegetables when I was 2 years old tho, so my body likely adapted to it.
Point is, it’s possible. Just get regular, extensive blood tests to make sure you’re handling it well.
