I am a strict vegetarian. I use to be close to vegan, but then I got very sick with an undiagnosed seizure disorder. So, I had to go back to eating dairy. I had to make that compromise.

But, I highly recommend giving yourself a timetable as to when you want to be come a "level vegetarian". If you want to become a vegan, you will need to give yourself at least a year to accomplish that goal. Especially if you have not had your metabolism checked by a professional healthcare provider.

You need to know your basic blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and possibly other levels such as your AST and Albumin levels.

Then, you need a good multi-vitamin for vegetarians. I have had to switch recently, because I react to something in the Maxine's Nature Made Brand. And some of them have too much stuff in them that I personally disagree for human consumption--that is my professional opinion.

The last thing you must do is get your B-vitamins. Vitamin B12 is NOT made by plants. You MUST use an animal source. Cyanocobalimin is insufficient for required B12 amounts. Or you can have anemic issues even with a Iron booster...

And you cannot do this without meditation or spirituality.

Good luck on your pursuit.
