Going vegetarian.

I need a lifestyle change and have decided to try a vegetarian diet.  I have a few different reasons but my main one is the aim of improving my health.  I need to make different choices in terms of the food I eat. Although I eat good meals I am sure that I do not receive the nutrients I need on a daily basis. My dad died at the age of 64 of a sudden and massive stroke. I am sure a large factor that contributed towards this was his lifestyle. I definitely take much of my make up from my dad and I worry this leaves me open to the same risks. I spend more time than I know is normal worrying about my health and cancer for example. Instead of worrying I need to actually do something about it. As a lover of meat I know this won't be the easy option but I'm going to give it a good go. My first aim is to last a month and see how I feel after that time. Once my month is up I will consider whether I want to continue for a further month. I will do this until I feel able to make a long term decision. Hopefully this will be the start of something good.
