Will Quitting Meat Make Me Lose Weight or Nutrients?

A look from natural and conscious health

Many people who come to Naturageo—whether seeking wellness or battling chronic illness or even cancer—have a very common concern:

"What if I stop eating meat... will I become malnourished?"

The concern is valid. For generations, we've been taught that meat is synonymous with strength, energy, and good nutrition. But the reality is that our bodies are designed for much more than surviving on meat . They can heal, strengthen, and regenerate with the right foods , especially those that come from the earth, alive and full of life energy.

What happens in the body when we eat meat?

From a physiological and morphological perspective, the human body has mixed characteristics. We are neither pure carnivores like lions nor strict herbivores like cows. However, our digestive system has more similarities with herbivores:

• A long intestine to slowly absorb plant nutrients.

• Flat teeth and movable jaw for crushing, not tearing raw meat.

• A less acidic gastric pH , not ideal for breaking down heavy animal meat.

This means that although we can digest meat in small amounts , we are not designed to eat it daily or in large portions.

What if I have diabetes, hypertension, cancer, or an autoimmune disease?

This is where the body needs even more care. In these cases, eating meat can be more of a burden than a benefit . Why?

• It generates inflammation , which worsens diseases such as arthritis, lupus, colitis and cancer.

• It acidifies the body , preventing cells from regenerating easily.

• It overloads the liver and kidneys , organs that are already compromised.

• It alters the intestinal microbiota , weakening natural defenses.

Numerous studies support that a plant-based diet, free of meat and processed foods, significantly improves the quality of life and the progression of these diseases .

What about protein? What about iron? What about vitamin B12?

These are the three biggest fears. But here's the truth:

1. Protein :

   • It's found in legumes, seeds, nuts, whole grains, and superfoods like quinoa, chia, hemp, and amaranth.

   • When properly combined, they provide all the essential amino acids .

2. Iron :

   • Green leafy vegetables, lentils, spirulina, and pumpkin seeds are rich in iron.

   • Accompanying them with natural vitamin C (such as lemon, guava or orange) increases their absorption .

3. Vitamin B12 :

   • It's the only nutrient that should be supplemented if you follow a 100% plant-based diet . But it's not exclusive to vegetarians: even those who eat meat can suffer from a deficiency due to intestinal malabsorption.

Eating Plants Doesn't Weaken You... It Regenerates You!

At Naturageo, we have helped many people who, by reducing or eliminating meat:

• They improve your digestion, energy and mental clarity.

• They reduce inflammation, joint pain and blood pressure.

• Regain muscle strength with complete plant sources.

• They experience normal cleansing crises , but then reach a state of balance and well-being that they had not felt before.

The key is not to stop eating meat because it's fashionable, but because of awareness. Is understand that health is built with foods that do not generate suffering or toxic residues in the body.

Is it for everyone?

Not everyone needs to eliminate meat completely. But everyone can benefit by reducing their consumption , replacing it with plant-based alternatives, and adopting habits that promote cell regeneration, such as:

• Medicinal infusions.

• Green juices with sprouts.

• Nutritious vegetable broths.

• Gentle exercise and deep breathing.

• Hydrotherapy and restful sleep.

Changing the way we eat can be scary. But at Naturageo, we support this process with knowledge, empathy, and proven practices. Giving up meat doesn't mean giving up on your health. It means giving your body the opportunity to heal from within.

If you have a chronic illness or simply want to live better, consider starting a plant-based diet for a few days. Observe, feel, and allow your body to speak to you.

At Naturageo, we believe in practical, holistic, and deeply natural health. Your body wants to heal. It just needs you to give it what truly nourishes it.
