I am 5′11 190 lbs, Medium build, in shape and I follow a Calorie Restriction, Extreme Low Fat and Vegetarian Diet. My calorie intake is between 1500-1600 calories a day and I never go over 6-8 grams of fat a day. My diet consists of ONLY plant material and grain. NO MEAT PERIOD! Not even fish or dairy. In conjunction to my diet I have also been taking B12 supplements 1000 mcg a day.

I have been eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grain rice every day and peanut butter and nuts just once a week for a treat. In addition I have tried some Vegetarian meatless products such as Boca and Morning Star and they have tasted great.
I feel so much better. I have more energy. The first few nights I changed over to Vegetarian, stopped eating meat and ate plenty of fruits and vegetables I have a hard time sleeping. Like It wasn’t time for me to sleep & I had more energy. Is that normal?
Any advice on how I can enhace my diet? Any good suggestions to a new Vegetarian?
is it okay to put children on a vegetarian diet?

I am changing my diet for health reasons and incorporating more vegetables. A concern of mine is the lack of essential amino acids. I have to cut down on diary, eggs, red meats, etc. When I was on a vegetarian diet prior, I felt physically weak and tired at times.

I’ve been told by many different people that you need and do not need mineral supplements in a lacto-ovo-vegatarian diet. Is it recommended you include these and if so, what are the key minerals and vitamins that are needed to be included?

I don’t eat a lot of meat anyhow, but I would like to know if I stop eating meat for about a month what else should I do to supplement my diet? I will be volunteering in Central America for a month and would like to stick with the staples save the meat. I will have no choice of what I am eating other than if I would like a vegetarian diet or not. Should I just bring a multi-vitamin or are there other things I should be aware of in cutting out the meat? Thanks for your time.

Cb asked:
How to get Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, B9 would also be nice to know.
I’m not trying to lose weight and eating fish is not vegetarian. If you eat fish you are eating meat; therefore, you are not a vegetarian.
