Just wanting to know if anyone can give me some input on how going vegetarian would impact health, diet, muscle growth. I was thinking about trying it out for roughly a month, I've got a couple friends who are vegetarians/vegans and they say they feel much better physically after the switch. Right now I'm working out to slim up and maintain the muscle I have, mostly doing cardio and a lot of body resistance exercises like push ups and chin ups and what have you. Obviously if I just replace meat with a bunch of junk it won't help, but does anyone have some insight as to how this diet would affect my body? And I plan to get enough protein as well, will get some protein powder if I have to.
