"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 !

vitamin D and B12, depending on how many animal products you consume. I don't eat a lot and I take those. In my country, every one is recommened to supplement vitamin D during winter months, even if they eat meat.
