I'm not sure what you mean... if you mean to become a healthy vego then the key is to learn about nutrition. you can't just cut out meat, eggs and dairy and expect to be healthy. you need to replace the nutrients you'd get from those foods. protein isn't really an issue, iron and b12 are the main ones you need to watch for. if you eat lots of vitamin c then you'll absorb iron better too. b12 you will have to eat fortified foods or take a supplement because you can't get it in commercially produced fruit and veg (prohibitive hygiene standards).

How many people on this site? Well, however many there is, I'm sure they all want you to be a Vegan! Or vegetarian! happy

Just suddenly decide you don't like certain foods anymore! For instance, I've "lost" the taste of meat. I don't like it anymore wink

So I told my parents, and that is my awesome excuse not to eat meat! happy
