Oddly I just found out about protein sickness caused by lack of fat intake.
Newer vegetarians have it better and at least are more healthy than their earlier ancestors who often looked like zombies that often also smelled funny. Sort of how the raw diet people look now (Raw diet is so fucking stupid).
Reality for most is if you eat a good balanced diet that is low or removes the two bad fats (I prefer lower), stick with proper portion sizes, stay off refined or super refined sugars (high fructose, and often even white sugar), eat enough whole grains and vegetables. You will feel fantastic, have a high energy level, be overall very healthy, correct your blood pressure issues and cholesterol nearly in a week or less, and be very mentally alert.
Lastly I have really been trying this out and stressing it on some others. Eat locally and seasonally whenever possible. I now am down to a 4 hour radius from my house, with the one exception being fed exd sea food deliveries. Though canning and preserving have become a side passion of mine now since you may want tomato's in the winter or some cherry jam come fall.
