Getting Started with a Vegetarian Diet

If you're thinking about adopting a vegetarian diet, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

• Make sure you're getting enough protein. Protein is an essential nutrient that is found in meat, poultry, fish, and seafood. If you're not eating animal products, you'll need to make sure you're getting enough protein from other sources, such as beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds.
• Make sure you're getting enough iron. Iron is another essential nutrient that is found in meat, poultry, fish, and seafood. If you're not eating animal products, you'll need to make sure you're getting enough iron from other sources, such as beans, lentils, spinach, and fortified cereals.
• Make sure you're getting enough vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that is found only in animal products. If you're not eating animal products, you'll need to make sure you're getting enough vitamin B12 from fortified foods or supplements.

Here are some tips for getting started with a vegetarian diet:

• Start slowly. Don't try to go vegetarian overnight. Start by cutting out meat one day a week, and then gradually increase the number of vegetarian days each week.
• Find vegetarian recipes that you enjoy. There are many delicious vegetarian recipes available online and in cookbooks. Experiment until you find some recipes that you love.
• Make sure you're getting enough protein, iron, and vitamin B12. Talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian to make sure you're getting all the nutrients you need.
