It’s great you’re aware of how important it is to get the proper vitamins and minerals. Most carnivores don’t get the recommended amounts of essential vitamins either but as a vegetarian it is important to pay close attention. You need to make sure your diet allows you to get what you need. I have some easy tips and information on my website.

The two biggest things to watch are you protein and iron intakes. If you can get enough of both, great. Otherwise you will need supplements.
Bread, pasta, cereal, rice, beans, peas, lentil, nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies can easily offer everything that you need except B12.

All vegetarians should take a B12 supplement regularly since most people eat meat, dairy AND fortified cereals yet still have a B12 status that is lower than recommended.

It may help you if you see proof that vegetarians have the same potential as anyone else.

If you need meat or dairy during any stage of your life or to live any certain lifestyle, why does the American Dietetic Association say otherwise?

When you intend to become almost Vegetarian very strictly, you may encounter the fact that you may be lack of vitamin B12. We Japanese have been almost fish vegetarian for so long time. So most of the traditional Japanese recipe are Meat Free, Egg Free, Milk Free, Lactose Free with some exception. We japanese have been taking vitamin B12 from Miso, Natto,Tsukemono pickles and so on. We had not have to take meat in order to take vitamin B12 as the fish vegetarian for so long time. Please try enjoying if you can accept Japanese Foods.
I went to Whole Foods and talked to someone, they are very friendly and will help you out. Trader Joe’s also has veggie based vitamins, you can find multi-vitamins online too.
Check wiht your doctor because you may not need suppliments and you don’t want to take too much.
