Trying to go veggitarian but failing?

[Anonymous]

I keep getting light headed, and tired. What am I doing wrong?

I know or think I know why.

I don't know

It probably could be a lot of things. You also have to consider that it might not even be related to going vegetarian.

What are you eating? One thing that comes to mind is a B vitamin deficiency, especially B-12 which is very hard to get in a veggie diet. You might have to take supplements. One symptom of B 12 deficiency is anemia.

Well you do know that when you stop eating meat, you need REPLACE it right? Try chickpeas, tofu, eggs, beans, cauliflower, spinach,... I'm also a vegetarian and I'm just fine but as I said, you may need to consider eating a greater variety of veggies and legumes. Good luck! :)
