Been a vegetarian for 2 months, what advice can you offer me?

Charlie W asked:


I’ve been a vegetarian for two months, and I’ve had no problems. However, members of my family, friends, as well as articles I’ve read, claim that I should be careful with my vegetarian diet. Should I be taking certain vitamins? I’ve heard both good and bad things about soy, so what is the general consensus; should I be eating it? I’m fairly new at this lifestyle, so any help would be much appreciated.
