Being vegetarian is very healthy!! Just like when you eat meat, you need to make the right choices. Being vegan means you don't eat any dairy, either. I was vegan for 1.5 years before I decided to just go back to being vegetarian, since there are a lot of ingredients derived from milk that are in everything, and it's much harder to make sure you're getting proper nutrition.

I'd even venture to say that being vegetarian is healthier than not- you don't have tons of cholesterol or fat in your diet, and you most likely get more fiber- a type of diet that is very healthy! Good luck!!! It's great that so many PTer's are going veg!

Been one for 9 days! I find it incredibly easy. I mean it's a bit hard watching my mom eat meat, or going into the grocery store and seeing the meat RIGHT there waiting to be eaten, but I know I'm helping, and that this is a much healthier lifestyle. I just act like I know I can't have it, and it works really well.

I'm Vegan. Started out just eating Fish, ended up being Vegetarian, then resulted in being Vegan.
Being Vegetarian, is by far, in my opinion, healthier than eating meat. I say go for it! People always thought that it would be hard to go Vegetarian (or Vegan in my case), but its not that hard at all. You just MUST make sure you get enough protein and all.
Good luck if you do!

In september it will be one year that I have been a veg. I feel so much healthier and when I wasn't a veg I would feel guilty eating meat!!
