A diet combining a handful of known cholesterol-lowering plant components cut bad cholesterol by close to 30 per cent in a study by researchers at U of T and St. Michael's Hospital. The reduction is similar to that achieved by some drug treatments for high cholesterol, suggesting a possible drug-free alternative for combating the condition. This is a good health reason to becoming a vegetarian . Also a vegetarian diet also helps with diabetes and arthitus. Well done and on top of this you decrease the demand for killing animals.
The biggest problem a new person to the vegetarian diet has is balancing their meals. There are lots of sick and unhappy ex vegetarians out there because they did not research and did not balance their meals. They skipped meals and ate lots of vegies and nothing else. this behaviour set them up to fail.
The best thing you can do is read, read , read. The Vegetarian society is a great web site with tons of information and recipes. They will tell you what staples are necesary. also asking questions on this forum from people who are convicted vegetarians and vegans is great because they know what is necessary to maintain the vegetarian diet. Also being prepared for the flack you may get from tried and true meat eaters is something you may need to be prepared for, but if you can whether it thats fine.
Below are some good web sites that will help you also there is a great recipe book which I love its called Meals Without Meat by Alison Holst and Simon Holst.
