It’s better not to eat meat if you get your iron from some other sorce like spinach.
Not eating meat also drastically helps the planet be greener
Go on, go Veg!

I don’t think that being vegetarian helps in checking weight. You will gain weight even if you are enjoying one burger a day at mc’ Donalds.

A vegetarian diet is easier to keep weight under control, as well as keeping your cholesterol lower, but a vegetarian needs to make sure that he/she is getting their protein (abundant in meat) from other sources. Beans for example have almost the same amount of protein as red meat, but with little fat content and is also a great source of fiber.
Here are a few interesting links on the subject:

actually, yes.
red meat is not very good for your health, so cutting that out is a good decision.
the only thing that may cause concern is that you don’t get the nutrients/protein/calcium/etc. associated with meat.
you might want to take supplements or focus on eating vegetables and fruits that contain a lot of those needed nutrients.

if you do it the right way it is very healthy. if you eat plenty of soy products, nuts, a varity of vegetables, fruit, ect. but if you just eat carbs and such like it did you’ll get sick often, because you’re not getting any protein, haha.

Actually, you don’t need to diet per se if you want to lose weight, I discovered this at the web portal in the box below, they have loads of tips, I lost 9 pounds by using their methods.

It is very good for your health.
According to the ADA, vegetarians are at lower risk for developing:
Heart disease
Colorectal, ovarian, and ****** cancers
Diabetes
Obesity
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Vegetarians have lower rates of heart disease and some forms of cancer than non-vegetarians
This is because a healthy vegetarian diet is typically low in fat and high in fiber. However, even a vegetarian diet can be high in fat if it includes excessive amounts of fatty snack foods, fried foods, whole milk dairy products, and eggs. Therefore, a vegetarian diet, like any healthy diet, must be well planned in order to help prevent and treat certain diseases.
If you need encouragement to becoming a vegetarian, watch this video. It worked for me and I cried, so beware.

Being vegetarian is very good for your health! I couldn’t lose weight for a while, and after I become vegetarian, I lost nearly twenty pounds with exercise! Being vegetarian reduced the chance for many health problems, as long as you eat right. You need to make sure you get enough iron and protien, although you don’t need to take pills for it. You can get protien from legumes and nuts, as well from soy products and other foods. Iron can be found in spinach, bran cereal, and certain vegetables. There’s lot of websites and books that give you good information about it.
Not only is being vegetarian good for your health, you also feel lighter. Almost like you had weights inside you holding you down, but now they’re gone.
