Eat a variety of "whole foods," with plenty of beans, nuts, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Avoid unhealthy foods like trans fats, which are usually listed as partially hydrogenated oils. Deep-fried foods often contain trans fats. Choose margarines that use nonhydrogenated oil, like Earth Balance or Smart Balance. Although a diet consisting of Coke and French fries is technically vegan, you can't be healthy if you eat nothing but junk food. Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is produced by bacteria, and some experts believe that vegetarians used to get plenty of this vitamin from bacteria in drinking water. Since drinking water is now treated with chemicals that kill the bacteria, it's important to make sure that you get enough vitamin B12 from fortified foods (like most brands of soy or rice milks, some breakfast cereals, and many brands of nutritional yeast,also eggs and milk) on a daily basis or by taking a sublingual B12 tablet of 10 mcg per day
Iron-beans, dark green leafy vegetables (like spinach),whole grain breads, Also eat something with vitamin c when you eat something with iron, it increases absorption
Calcium-dark green leafy vegetables (spinach, broccoli, soymilk)
Protein-Isn't really hard to get, just eat a variety of foods, good sources are beans, brown rice, nuts, whole grain breads, soy foods
Omega-3 fatty acids-flax seeds/oil,walnuts,canola oil
Zinc-pumpkin seeds (best source), beans and lentils, yeast, nuts, seeds and whole grain cereals
Selenium-Brazil nuts are a particularly good source of selenium, so try to eat a couple every day. Eating a small bag of mixed unsalted nuts can be a convenient way to get your daily selenium intake, but make sure it contains Brazils. Bread and eggs also provide some selenium.
Vitamin D- Vitamin D, often called the sunshine vitamin, is another common deficiency in those not drinking vitamin D fortified milk. Synthetic vitamin D is added to both cow’s milk and most brands of soy milk today.
Vitamins A (beta carotene),C, K, E and Folate-variety of fruits and veggies
Iodine-Iodine is a trace mineral that's important for healthy thyroid function. Table salt is the most common and reliable source of iodine in Americans' diets. (However, sodium in processed foods usually does not contain iodine.) If you don't consume table salt, you can get iodine from a multivitamin or from kelp tablets.
Not from me..!
You do not have a good reason.
I phased out eating meat and eventually dairy over the length of three years. Following my own pace cos' only you understand your tolerance for animal based food cravings. Some people can go vegan overnight a la "cold turkey". Don't get discouraged if you slip now and again. Going vegan is all about trying new foods really. Approach veganish with an open mind and you'll realize there are more healthier substitute foods out there than you can imagine. I recommend joining a local vegan potluck group or cooking class. Good luck. Oh, and always feel free to ask for help. Vegans love sharing their discoveries.

you shouldn't become a vegan because it is something that your dad will not approve of. You should become a vegan for your own reasons and something that you feel is your choice of food.
stupid reason
its not wrong to drink some milk if the cows don't need it anyways. and if the farmers didn't milk them they would be in intense pain from the pressure. might as well make use to it. and with chicken eggs, as long as they are not fertilized they are just useless lumps , might as well eat them.
and if you just want to make your dad mad i have no problem with that. :)
really stupid reason. why??? i guess if it saves animals what am i complaining about. :p
don't go against your dad.
