I have currently started a new lifestyle following a plant based life style. i need more advice regarding putting the right foods in my body as well as enough nutrients. i want my body to function properly and healthy. ?

Some thoughts...: A vegan, ovo-vegetarian, lacto-vegetarian, and lacto-ovo-vegetarian are all types of vegetarians. Because some things (calcium, vit. D, vit. B12, protein) are harder to get if a vegetarian eats no egg or dairy, a vegan has a much harder time finding all the nutrients she needs to stay healthy. However, a lacto or ovo-vegetarian must be wise enough not to overeat fats from yolks and milk or butter.
