text: any suggestions for a healthy vegetarian lifestyle? i have been a vegetarian since last may. on occassion i will eat fish. i try to get enough iron and protein through multi-vitamins and soy. any other hints on how to stay in good health? study up on which foods have the things you need. nuts are good, so are beans and so are eggs. if you eat those things then you're probably alright! if you are very concerned, you can talk to a doctor and they can help you figure out if you need protein supplements or something:-) good luck!
