I need steps please ?
Step 1. Stop eating animals.
Step 2. Continue not eating animals.
Oh, and do your research.
Of course it's healthy if you know what you're doing. So...I repeat.. if you're truly, genuinely interested, do your research.
The American Dietetic Association and the Dietitians of Canada support vegetarian and vegan diets for all stages of life.
Good for you... The American Dietetic Association (one of the nation's leading nutrition experts) states: "...appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases." To be healthy, make sure you get enough calories (i.e., don't starve yourself) and include fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, and grains in your diet.
Good veg sources of protein and iron:

Good luck!
its really not as hard as it seems. If you have a good reason and you believe strongly enough than it will be easy for you. It takes 21 days to break a habit so the first few weeks will be the hardest but once you over come that it will be easy and you will soon not even think about it that much. Actually becoming a vegetarian is very healthy. You have a lower chance of heart disease and you will live on avg. 5-7 years longer than the avg. person.
What i did was go right into it and cut out it completely i don't know if that would work for you but it did for me. My other suggestion is to go slow and cut out one food at a time.
You can be quite healthy as much as animal flesh eaters. But you must pay particular attention to protein. So I suggest you drink soya bean milk or eat soya beans.included in your diet. If you ever worked in a slaughter house you would want to spare the animals.
for the protien question you need to follow a new way of eating and if you are interested in actually geting more out of your food you need to find
#1 protein
1. beans or legumes of any kind
2. nuts and seeds of any kind
3. grains such as millet i am not sure about kamut if it is wheat or gluten content but find a grain such as corn
now what you do is find ways to mix them.
such as beans and rice or
beans and corn
or peanuts or other nuts and
sprouted beans and corn in a soup
tofu or tymph which are soy beans and rice fixed in 100+ ways.
if you mix the three above you will get a complete protien.
second do not make protien the main part of your diet you need 6 - 8 vegetables and fruits per day where you need only a small amount of protien 3 or 4 servings per day. this will give you options. to start and if you are serious about help and you do not mind the option
go to http://bible-ministry.com/c.html if you do not get it at first go to dogpile.com and then put the domain name above in their search engine, and there is a cookbook that can help not with the recipes you need but with the alternatives that will help you use the recipes you already have and find alternatives for meat and meat flavors.
there are also very many cookbooks that have vegetarian recipes if you perfer that to using the old recipe you love but need help with the alternative to meat.
i have been a veg. since january and just looking at meat makes me sick. but you can take multivitamins and they have soy meals they are pretty good and if you ever dont think you can do it go to www.peta.com and watch some of the videos they have that is the reason why a became a vegitarian.
