The reduction is similar to that achieved by some drug treatments for high cholesterol, suggesting a possible drug-free alternative for combating the condition. This is a good health reason to becoming a vegetarian . Also a vegetarian diet also helps with diabetes and arthitus. Well done and on top of this you decrease the demand for killing animals. The biggest problem a new person to the vegetarian diet has is balancing their meals. There are lots of sick and unhappy ex vegetarians out there because they did not research and did not balance their meals. They skipped meals and ate lots of vegies and nothing else. this behaviour set them up to fail. The best thing you can do is read, read , read. The Vegetarian society is a great web site with tons of information and recipes. They will tell you what staples are necesary. also asking questions on this forum from people who are convicted vegetarians and vegans is great because they know what is necessary to maintain the vegetarian diet. Also being prepared for the flack you may get from tried and true meat eaters is something you may need to be prepared for, but if you can whether it thats fine. Below are some good web sites that will help you also there is a great recipe book which I love its called Meals Without Meat by Alison Holst and Simon Holst.

It's awesome that you just became a vegetarian! I'm a vegetarian also, and I have been for 4 years. :) It's real nice knowing that you save lots of animals' lives. Some different foods to try are veggie burgers, veggie hot dogs, veggie chicken, tofu, and veggie bacon. These are all PACKED with protein. They may taste a little different at first and they may take a little getting used to, but after a while you'll LOVE them! Try some different fruits and veggies also. Try and google up "healthy vegetarian diets" and you'll probably be able to find some other info that might come in handy. Just be prepared to try different foods, and if you don't like them give it another chance....I didn't like all the vegetarian foods at first but now I love them. Veggie burgers and Tofu are my favorites. :-) Good luck!!! -鈾? Teetoe Vegetarian for 4 years. :) Congrats on going veg. This site has a lot of nutritional info: pcrm.org/health/veginfo/vsk/ Here are some ways to get important nutrients: Calcium鈥擣ortified soy or rice milk, fortified juice, collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, kale, broccoli, blackstrap molasses, tofu processed with calcium sulfate, and tempeh. Vitamin D鈥擵itamin D is normally produced within the body after sunlight exposure to the skin. If you don't get regular sun exposure, use fortified foods or a multivitamin. Protein鈥擥ood protein sources include cooked beans, tofu, soy yogurt, tempeh, seitan, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Iron鈥擠iets consisting of vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, and nuts provide adequate iron. Consuming foods rich in vitamin C, such as orange juice, with iron-rich foods enhances the absorption of iron. Some foods are naturally rich in both iron and vitamin C, such as broccoli, Swiss chard, and other dark green leafy vegetables. Other good iron sources include iron-fortified cereals, enriched bread, pasta, rice, soybeans, chickpeas, and blackstrap molasses. Good luck. http://www.pcrm.org/health/veginfo/veget... |
