Is there a good recipe book with simple vegetarian recipes that you can recommend?
Also, is there a book that anyone can recommend about becoming a vegetarian when I've been an omnivore for nearly 26 years?Now that I've made the decision to be a vegetarian (not vegan), what do I do?
You don't need to "do" anything. Just "don't" eat meat, fish, our poultry. Continue to eat the things you enjoy that don't contain meat. Make sure you include protein grains, such as quinoa in your diet, as well as beans, pulses, and legumes. Simply substitute them for meats, such as in bean and cheese tacos. No rocket science needed. Good luck and congrats! Read food labels to identify hidden meat products, such a beef tallow in fast food fries.
I've been a vegetarian for 13 years (since I was in 6th grade). One thing to mention is that even though many products don't have "meat" in it, there are many soups (i.e. raman) and food that contain animal products (i.e. chicken stock, beef flavoring, etc). Just be careful of that.
Other than that I just fill my diet with lots of veggies, fruits, and some carbs. Make sure you also eat a multivitamin too.
Congrats on making a healthy choice! :)Now that I've made the decision to be a vegetarian (not vegan), what do I do?
that is good to be vetarian but you have to eat so many vegetables to full your deit
You need to buy some chick peas, peanuts, mushrooms, egg plant to use for your meat substitute...
Making felafel's is great!
You should go to Barnes and nobles, borders to get a recipe book you can even go online to www.foodtv.com and www.realsimple.com for some free recipes...Now that I've made the decision to be a vegetarian (not vegan), what do I do?
PETA has a workbook for people becoming a vegetarian. It is free.
Well. You don't eat meat. And you eat a lot of vegetables... and other than that you eat everything that you ate before, but no meat :)
what do you think?
im sure the answers will soon be obvious to you
good luck though
1. Talk to your doctor. I'm not saying vegetarianism is unhealthy at all, so don't jump on me. I'm just saying you should talk to your doctor any time you make a huge change in your diet. I would tell you to talk to your Doc if you were saying you wanted to start a low-carb diet. It's simply a good idea.
S/He will probably tell you to start taking vitamins, if you don't already. (And not all multi-vitamins are created equall.)
2. Browse your public library. Many cookbooks are usually best as Try Before Buy deals anyway.
But I really recomend the first book listed in the sources. If you only get one, get it. You can always find recipes online, but this book has a ton of nutrition information and ways to help with the transition. It talks about vegetarianism and veganism both, and while you can tell it is more in favor of veganism it never gets preachy. It's a great reference, and you'll use it a long time.
3. Hit your local health food store. They should have info for you, and might be able to direct you to some vegetarian cooking classes, even.
You'll find yourself eating a lot of foods you had never even heard of before! Have fun with it!
Read, "Fit For Life" by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. It has reasons to stay away from meat, how to combine your food properly, and even recipes. (an awesome smoothie one to die for)!
stop eating meat.
Try the site goveg.org =) There is a ton of recipes, tips and advice on your new journey. Good Luck!!!!
here are lots of ideas good luck ,just keep your protiens up
obviously, no meat. pasta is good. if you want, you can eat seafood (im trying to stop). get stoneyfield yogurt, IT HAS NO GELATIN in it. you need protein still, so eat nuts (peanut butter is good). iron comes from stuff like spinach (dark stuff). it's actually not that hard to become a veggie-head.
