Becoming a vegetarian is a big decision that many people make because of compassion for animals, health concerns or just food preferences. I myself have been a vegetarian for several months and it has impacted my life in a very positive way! I find myself with more energy, a clearer complexion and a healthier heart. Also, it's a great feeling knowing that what you're eating is cruelty-free and got to you without any living creatures being harmed in the process.
Going vegetarian and removing all meat from your diet is a wonderful thing, but you should know the facts before you take the plunge. It's important to make sure you're still getting sufficient protein, which can be done by eating more whole grains, beans, low-fat dairy products, nuts and seeds. Vegetarian diets can also lack calcium, which can be obtained through milk, yogurt, cheese, leafy greens and fruit.
