This afternoon, my teacher and I discussed vegans and vegetarians. I told my teacher I could never be a vegan or a vegetarian because I feel dizzy if I don't eat meat for one day. A few months ago, I ate only vegetable and beans for one day and I felt dizzy the next day. Maybe I need to let my body gradually adjust to the new diet rather than cutting out all the meat immediately. It would have been better to consult a dietitian before I made such a big switch on my diet.

This afternoon, my teacher and I discussed the subject/topic of vegans and vegetarians. I told my teacher I could never be a vegan or a vegetarian because I feel dizzy if I don't eat meat for (just) one day. A few months ago, I ate only vegetable and beans for one day and I felt dizzy the next day. Maybe I need to let my body gradually adjust to the new diet rather than cutting out all the meat completely and immediately. It would have been be better for me to consult a dietitian before I made make such a big switch on my of diet.

Say:

A few months ago I ate only vegetables and beans ....

No fruit?

"This morning, my teacher and I discussed vegans and vegetarians."

That's inaccurate. You talked about going without eating meat.

I feel dizzy if I don't eat meat for a day.

"One day" is not wrong, but that's more natural.

You could also say:

If I go for a day without eating meat I feel dizzy.

That's inaccurate. You talked about going without eating meat.

Therefore, I can’t be a vegan or vegetarian. We discussed a lot of other things, for example, what do they eat and why do they become a vegetarian or vegan.

You covered a lot of things on that general subject.

A was a vegetarian for a day once.

"Vegetarianism", the lifestyle, is probably more appropriate as a topic of discussion. Veganism is an offshot of vegetarianism.
