A vegetarian diet consists of no meat or dairy or eggs, so it may lack vital nutrients such as protein, calcium, and certain vitamins like b6 and b12, which are really only commonly found in animal products.
Many of these nutrients can be found in vegetarian-okay foods or supplements, though.
Another "concern" may be a lack of variety, as essentially two whole food groups are now "off-limits" (meat and dairy).
too much meat

You may not be eating enough protein as a vegetarian. Tofu is high in protein and vegetarian friendly!
No they are not. The definition of a vegetarian diet includes not eating meat, poultry, or seafood. If you really like seafood, try modifying your vegetarian diet to a pescetarian diet. Pesco-vegetarianism allows the consumption of seafood, but not meat or poultry.
In addition to a normal vegetarian diet, that is never eating anything that has ever lived, lacto-vegetarians will eat milk products such as cheese, butter, yoghurt etc.
If you have been a vegetarian for a long time and know what you should be eating then maintaining this diet through pregnancy is fine. If however you usually eat meat and have decided that a vegetarian diet is healthier then don't do it as you will not know how to eat healthily in terms of protein etc.
I think you mean "Pescetarian". Pescectarianism is when someone follows a mostly vegetarian diet, with the exception of eating fish.
Walton Goggins is not a vegetarian. He has openly discussed his love for food, including meat, in interviews. While he may support healthy eating habits, there is no indication that he follows a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Planning any kind of diet can be difficult and time consuming. To plan a vegetarian diet you could use your normal recipes and substitute meat and fish with soy products, you could also seek the advice of health care professionals and simply search bookstores for great vegetarian recipe books.
There are many great reasons to start eating a vegetarian diet. Some people choose to eat vegetarian foods because of their love for animals, or because they want to help the environment. Others try a vegetarian diet in order to lose weight. However, in order to lose weight this way, you will need to consume healthy forms of protein to make up for your reduced intake of meat. If you eat things like tofu, beans, eggs, and nuts, you will likely have no problem switching to a vegetarian diet. However, do not rely too much on processed foods, or weight loss will still be a struggle.
To a certain extent this depends on the diet of the individual in question. A healthy vegetarian diet including a wide variety of foods and minimal fatty products is definitely better for you than a regular meat-eating diet. On the other hand, if a meat-eater has a healthy diet then they are likely to be just as healthy as someone eating a regular vegetarian diet. However, in general vegetarians tend to be much more concerned with what they eat, which also contributes to a healthier diet. Meat-eating has been linked to several serious conditions including diabetes, kidney stones and strokes. Vegetarian diets have less cholesterol and contain vitamins C, B-17, hydroquionenes, beta carotene, NDGA. Soybeans (a staple vegetarian food) contain protease inhibitor, a powerful anticancer compound. People living on a vegetarian diet are more likely to suffer from deficiencies (eg iron-deficiency anemia), but the diet is fine if properly structured. There are positives and negatives to both diets but the average vegetarian diet is healthier than the average meat-inclusive diet.
A vegetarian diet is an ideal way to improve your heart health. However, if this type of diet is not carefully planned, it can lack the protein you need to keep your ticker fine tuned. Soy protein is especially beneficial for the heart. Studies show that eating 25 grams of soy protein per day can help reduce the risk of heart disease. You can get this protein in your diet by drinking soymilk, and eating tofu and other soy-based vegetarian products.
