Ok, you don't eat meat, you don't eat anything wheat based, you don't eat anything milk based and you don't eat anything egg based. Be prepared to basically have to prepare all food by yourself and never eat anything out at all unless you go to specialized, vegan or asian restaurants. You will be surprised how ubiquitous wheat, milk, eggs and meat & meat byproducts are used in cooking and food preparation. Even if you go vegan, adding wheat (and soy now adays) to that equation will cut out alot more than you imagine. Wheat flour is used in sauce thickening, spices, EVERYTHING!!! (From experience). The only "junk food" you'll ever be able to eat again is pure dark chocolate, pure fruit bars, and very plain potato chips make from potatoes, sunflower oil and salt. Most restaurants will not be able to meet your requirements and you'll have eat at some asian restaurants, vegan restaurants and the rare, occasional north american restaurant.
