Vegetarianism is without doubt a very healthy option, but it is very important to ensure that yout food intake is well-balanced. This is not very difficult or as clinical as it might sound. Most of the meals you already eat probably contain ingredients from the different food groups.
Vegetarians could stuff their faces with chips and chocolate at every meal, but they would not be doing their health any favours. It doesn't have to be all 'rabbit food' either.
A varied vegetarian diet will supply all the essential nutrients you need to be fit and healthy. A typical vegetarian diet closely matches dietary recommendations for healthy eating, being low in saturated fat and high in fibre, complex carbohydrates, and fresh fruit and vegetables.
