Question Going Vegetarian for Lent

Lent is like 40 days or something like that, right? Is 40 days or so enough to feel benefits from being vegetarian?

Also, I've heard about this one certain amino acid that humans need, and that it can supposedly only be found it meat. Is this true? I don't want to be lacking in something important...

Also, I have weight question. Will I lose weight if I go vegetarian for about 40 days? If I start to lose weight, how do I stop it without gaining too much weight back? I basically don't want to lose too much weight, that is not my goal here.

I also have cravings sometimes for certain foods, and sometimes I have problems with my level of fullness, or satisfation after eating a meal. I seriously do not want to feel deprived or hungry, or have extra cravings. I might overeat junk food or something like that, you know how it goes hehe.

This is an odd question, but will my bowel movements/poop change? I tend to have hard poops that sometimes plug up the toilet, and I might not have a bowel movement as often as is normal, so will going veggie for 40 or so days help with that? I mean, will I go more often, and will my bowel movements be softer and less likely to plug up the toilet?

I was also wondering if this could affect my period. I have some sort of condition that is called amenorrhea. I have my period extremely unpredictably, it might be roughly every 4-6 months. I tried keeping track of it on the calendar, but it never really follows the so called rules L0L. Also, I tend to have moderate-heavy whenever I get my period. So, I am pretty much asking if this vegetarian thing could regulate me.

I actually don't want my period, I am quite content with this condition. If you ever get the chance to choose a condition to have, choose this one. I asked my OB-GYN, and he said I could still get pregnant when the time came for that, so....this is the best condition ever!

Well, that's about it for now. If I have more questions, I'll post them.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if some of what I said was too graphic!
