I have been a pretty strict vegetarian for about 6 or 7 years now, and I recently started to consider going back to eating meat just because of how hungry I am all the time. I decided to start looking up ways to get around going back to meat by taking supplements and I started seeing a lot of people on the internet saying that they have been anxious, depressed, and chronically fatigued since they went veggie as well. I looked a bit further into it and found that it is almost exclusively caused by a lack of Vitamin B-12, Vitamin D-3 (especially if you live in a sun-lacking place like Seattle) Omega-3 fatty acids, Iron, Calcium, Protein, and a few other things that are hard to get without meat. I just recently started taking supplements for a lot of it, along with L-Tryptophan, 5-HTP, Piracetam, Phosphatidyl Choline, and a few other general wellness supplements. I've only been doing it for a couple weeks now so I probably haven't gotten the whole effect of it, but I have noticed a slight difference. It sucks popping pills all the time, the benefit far outweighs the inconvenience.
All of the supplements that I mentioned are non-prescription, so you can probably find them at any health food or supplement store. Piracetam is a bit harder to find, but there are places on the internet that have it, and it's definitely worth the effort.
Another thing that can help is to carry around a bag of nuts or trailmix in your backpack/purse so that you can always be getting extra fat and protein.
Just remember before you go eating a hot dog, that you don't need to compromise your well-being to stand up for what you believe in.
