I think MANY have tried this lifestyle. My folks never did nor their generation, they all ate as the Hunter and Gathers did. I looked at vegetarian at one point but didn't last very long. My grandkids 24 and 21 have gone this route for awhile and were getting less healthy along the way. So that stopped in their lives, as I see it's a Big Fad that comes and goes. Some can do well, I guess, but have to make sure they are getting what their body needs.

At my late age, I'm reducing meat intake as it's hard on my digestive system and it probably was for a major part of my life. MODERATION is key. I can recall sitting down to 8 oz or more of a steak or prime rib years ago and not more at this time. I still get some small amounts of meats in stir frys and soups and stews.

I'm consuming more seafood now but still in moderation. And more legumes so get the protein my body needs.

There is a lot of info on the negative aspects of going vegetarian and here is just one short one:
