you wont be disappointed... we cook from them at home almost everyday... probably my favorite thing is the pad thai at the moment... and the bean balls.
My parents were vegetarians, and that is the way I was raised. I am 60 now and have never eaten meat. BP is 104/76, HR is 64 cholesterol is 110, sugar level is 72. Fruit/veggies/nuts/pasta 2 glasses of red wine a day. I'm 5'5"
and weigh146. For cooking only use fresh pressed Spanish EVOO. Hate to exercise, but do walk 3x week. I allow myself one Cuban Cigar/month
Both of my Children are Vegans too. My Wife will eat fish 4/5 times a year, but only Ahi Tuna Sushi.
Since moving to Florida, I grow my own vegetables year round.

Sarah Kramer is one of the biggest names in vegan cooking (and a great person to boot) and has written several books. They're my go-to books, even moreso than Vegan With a Vengeance (which I gave away anyways).

that's awesome... i can't wait to have veggie kids.
Congrats paola!I just went from vegan to raw. It's been almost a week.
Feels good
It's one of the best things I've ever done! Among them is going veg!
I find it is easy being vegetarian or even vegan in any large city. When I travel, I often eat very basic foods, fruit, veggies, nuts and seeds. Actually, my diet is always like this!
I've just spent my first week without meat. I don't really feel any different and I've not really noticed the lack of meat.
Great news ... stick with it és. It really is the most decent thing to do. As time goes on and you find out more things you like the better it gets.
I'm not a vegetarian, but I really love that artificial meat stuff that my university residence halls serve. Mmmm. Fake meat in general is quite good, in my opinion.
Hi
Just figured i'd post to the vegetarian thread. I'm not vegan, but a vegetarian. Anyone else?

I'm thinking about becoming a vegetarian, but I don't think I could go vegan. There's not a lot of vegan alternatives where I live.
Should I go to a nutritionist just to make sure I get all my nutrients?

I would. Get books on the stuff, because apparently soy isn't the healthiest thing to get your protein from. Who knew!?
Really? Too bad, I like soy...
I just have one question, I understand why people become vegetarians, but why do you become vegan? I'm just curious...
One step at a time!
I didn't think I could go veg! I'm vegan and eat mostly raw food now!
here's a great site to help you figure out what nutrients are in what you're eating. It's good to measure what you're currently eating before you change your diet...

often times it's because they don't like how the animals are treated. Not just that they're slaughtered, but that the cows are forced to be hooked up to machines, prodded and forced to stand in their own excrement.
I like soy too, but if you're using that for your protein then it will cause unhealthy amounts of estrogen in your system and I can barely stand watching Terms of Endearment as it is!
Thanks for all the replies. I just have one more question: should I stop eating meat gradually or stop at once?
It won't make any difference, although be sure your vegetarian diet includes all of the required daily nutrients.
If you have any questions, consult your doctor. And enjoy your meat free diet!
I've tried to see how long I can go without meat but I end up lasting about a week. I just can't hang...
One of my friends called me a hypocrite for supporting PETA but still eating meat. My belief is that if an animal is going to be raised for human consumption, the least we can do is to treat it like a living being and with dignity.
No fois gras, veal or fur for me...
For me I think the hardest part about becoming a vegetarian is going to be what to eat at parties or when going out to dinner. There's not a lot of vegetarian alternatives here. Even at my school, although they have vegetarian meals they sometimes are not very nutritious or fulfilling.
Lol. That's good to know.
Any suggestions on vegan/vegetarian snacks that I can carry in my bag?
Nuts, chocolate, scroggin/trail mix, carrots, fruit, dried fruits, yoghurt, cheese. I'm far more adventurous since I became vegetarian with my carry snacksLol. That's good to know.

Scrog...gin?
Try smoked almonds for a snack. They're like bacon almonds. Delicious, smokey and salty.
