I'm just curious about it. Is anyone in the guild a vegetarian? I've been thinking about it, or at least heavily considering cutting out red meat from my diet.
What are some pros and cons I should be concerned with? Protein I figure, but I love eggs, and I know that eggs are a good source of protein, correct?

if anyone has any tips or information, or good links I would be most happy ^o^

I went vegitarian for about six months and I liked it. However I started taking vitamins and some Meal Replacement shakes because I was worried about how many nutrients I was getting.

Today I still eat meat, but very little. Probably about once or twice a week and in small servings. I have to say I like it, because meat is so fattening and honestly not very good for you except for the iron in it.

I've considered going vegetarian too! ^_^ But I haven't, although I don't eat meat often... I like chicken too much. XD;;

I've found that there really isn't that much to worry about if you're on a good, balanced diet. (Vegans have much more worriesome lives ^^; ) Make sure you get your protein, iron, calcium, vitamin D, etc, etc... Things you should be aware of on a normal diet, anyway.

Beforehand, you should probably already have a lot of different veggie recipes to try, so as to get your nutrients - vitamin supplements are good, but actual food is better. Also, so you don't get bored at the "lack of choices". 3nodding Seeing a nutritionist wouldn't hurt, as well.

One thing about going Vegetarian is that, over a good period of time, you start to become intolerant to meat... Horror stories over chicken broth, man~ XD If it's not a permanent thing, or that doesn't bother you, then go for it. *pumps fist* ^^
