My view, you can tell what an animal is designed to eat by the design of their digestive system. A cow for example has three stomachs and does fine eating grass a food of low nutritional value. You due to design would starve eating grass. Oh and a cow spends most of it's time eating.

You are by design an omnivore. Designed to eat, plants and animals. Full vegetarian you will find it difficult to get enough protein. Some vegetarians will eat eggs, milk,cheese, fish others will not.

Something else to think about. If, you are married, living with someone are they willing to join you down this path.
Be careful of how much fat you ingest on a vegetarian diet. There are lots of wonderful recipes out there, but many are high-fat and high-calorie.


My DH is more of the Atkins variety eater--mostly meat. I never did like the taste of meat very much. We will share some side dishes but not the main dish. Fortunately, he's a prince and grills his own dinner. But you are right, it would be hard to make two separate meals all the time.
