..."Plant-based diets can be disadvantageous in that they create deficiencies in many important nutrients ...protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, and zinc."...

I worked with a guy who was a strict vegetarian and he had to receive Vitamin B 12 injections because he was severely anemic.

I would love to become a vegetarian, but I don't know where and how to start.
