A vegetarian diet focuses on plants for food (most times strictly). These include fruits, vegetables, dried beans and peas, grains, seeds and nuts. There is no single type of vegetarian diet.

But before I go on and on, believe me I know this is quite a difficult diet to follow especially for a Nigerian (we too love meat). Our love for meat is well played out when you see a Nigerian at a social function like weddings etc. or at a food sale stand (bukka). They have 70% assorted meat on the plate and 30% whatever else (LOL).

Well, it is important to know that people who follow vegetarian diets can get all the nutrients they need.
