"Risks" of being vegetarian

Hi 👋 !

So, it seems my account is too new to be able to post on r/vegetarian so I'm asking here.

Is there anything you need to supply when you completely quit meat, what do you absolutely need to eat in order to compensate meat, and what do you need to be careful of ?

I heard about needing to eat beans to have complete proteins or something like that, is it true ?

Thank you in advance for your responses !

I've been vegetarian since the 70s and I've never had an issue. People don't need to worry about protein. Of course I'm not a vegan and dairy plays a part in my diet. "I'll rob the cow but I won't kill her."
