However, here are three main challenges for a vegetarian diet

1. Vegetarian Food Garbage Eaters, Some vegetarians have the same health problems as everyone else, including being overweight because they eat too much instant foods such as soda, cookies, chips, french fries, sweets too much, etc.. Technically, it's not a food animal products, but the food is not nutritious, high-fat foods are not healthy for anyone. Walter Willett, chairman of the department of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health said: "A healthy vegetarian diet is a lot of vegetables, fruits, nuts and beans have." 
2. Protein Deficiency, we need protein for body growth in maintenance and repair of our cells. Most of the sources of protein in our diet are meat, eggs, fish, milk, etc.. Products that are not part of a vegetarian diet. But, there are other materials that contain vegetable protein, such as peanut butter, tofu, almonds, peanuts, potatoes, spinach. So, just make sure there is enough protein in your diet.
3. Lack of Nutrition in Our Fruits and Vegetables, eat fresh fruit and vegetables not only the necessary nutrients for your body longer maintained. Nutritional value of fruits and vegetables that we have certainly the last five decades due to decreased levels of minerals in the soil, the mass production of food, genetically modified foods. So, you only need 2 peaches to supply the necessary vitamins a woman in 1951. Today we need to eat 53 peaches on the same terms. This means that drinking spinach juice is not enough!
