Huh....we have a wildly divergent experience of vegetarians you and I. Vegetarianism, in my experience, is a master class in a persons individual kinks but maybe not all that informative with regards to food.
Well again its better than just continuing eating the same pattern of food that is making you fat, and when one does turn to vege, you do need to plan what you eat so as to get the best out of what you are eating, its my experience and that is all I am sharing here.

Yes but only a doctor is going to be able to tell you how to do it safely and slowly so your body adjusts. Simply jumping into ANY diet has a high failure rate and usually causes more health problems.
You also cannot simply replace meat protein with plant protein suddenly. Just like there are different types of hydrogen atoms there are also different types of protein.
Most doctors know very little about diet, its a very small part of their training.
Um no, a eye doctor of course not, but a general primary doctor is going to be able to point you to the right people. And your primary doctor is whom will know your history best. That is who you talk to first before you do anything.
My mom has had diet issues with certain medications and her primary can and will point her to an expert about other issues. My mom does not get everything done by one doctor.
