If you are worried about your health, better than being a vegetarian is having a good balanced diet and some fitness in your daily schedule.

I was putting on a lot of weight (went from 8 stone to 11.5 stones within a year when I hit 30). All I did was change how much I eat and what I eat.

I cut down to only one fizzy drink a day, lots of water, less red meat (no more than once a week), more veg in my diet (mixing veg and meat is amazing), using olive and rapeseed oil instead of vegetable oil, nothing sweet immediately after a main meal, not eating too late and most importantly... making sure you treat yourself once in a while.
