I am male about 50 years old and want to be a vegetarian. If I switch my diet to be vegetable only, will I have health problems? Should I take other supplemental vitamins, etc?

Several questions…Why a vegetarian diet now? What are you looking to accomplish with it, and have you spoken to your doctor about making a drastic change in you diet. If you do go vegetarian you must realize that it is difficult to get all the nutrients that you need in your diet. We as a species are not herbivores and so we don’t make all the things our body requires just off of plant life (unless you are a skilled nutritionist and know each and everything you need). Most importantly make sure you are on a multivitamin, and make sure you are getting complete proteins (most vegetarians eat many incomplete protiens) so your body can rebuild itself. Good luck, and make sure you study up on your diet before begginning.
