Nonni,
I will try to get you some sites, they are on my other computer. I eat mostly vegetarian and it is very safe, if she is wanting to go vegan, there is more planning involved with that. I teach health classes at our church, teaching vegetarian diets and vegan diets.

One thing I find is that people aren't very knowledgeable and the ones against it use very old statistics to make it seem too hard... they will say, you need to combine foods to get a complete protein, which is true, but they will say all in one meal, but that is not true... if you eat a variety of foods during the week, you will almost always have eaten enough to combine foods to make whole proteins... I try to teach people to go for a week of variety, as if you try to do it by each meal, you will often times make yourself miserable. I'd be happy to answer questions if you like...
I did just search at some of the sites I go visit, but they are more teaching sites and not sure that is what you are looking for as it is lifestyle focused, not just diet.
Warmly,
Melissa
