| Vegetarian :) After Thanksgiving and seeing the whole "cooking the bird" situation, I've decided to become a vegetarian again! I was one when I was 11-15 or so, but my mom knew nothing about it so I ate pasta every night lol. I know there was a thread on this, but any books, or sites I can go to, to get information on what to be included in my diet is appreciated! I've been "meat-less" all week and it hasn't been too hard -- yet. I've never been a big meat eater but I know for sure I'll miss pepperoni |

| Congratulations! I feel so much better emotionally and physically as a vegetarian/vegan than I did as a "meat head." Sorry, I don't have any books or websites...I became vegetarian when I was 12 ish, and vegan when I was 16, so I kind of just did it on my own. I'll be really excited to see what other people have to suggest.

| Congratulations! You might have read on the other threads that I became a vegetarian after reading Skinny Bitch. It goes into some detail about nutrition. Here are some sites that have been helpful for me. http://www.veganforum.com/forums/index.php http://www.vegcooking.com/index.asp http://www.vegdining.com/Home.cfm http://vegweb.com/ I am eating way healthier as a vegetarian than I ever did as a meat eater. It's really not difficult at all. The only thing to watch is you vit.B12. You can get it through fortified foods (cereals, breads, etc) or just take a good multi vitamin- most people benifit from that anyway.

| When I was veg I liked - www.rawfoodtalk.com They focus on raw eating, but I found a lot of good recipes on there.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | Congrats! That's great of you I was also a vegetarian when i was about 15 for a year. I became one because my older brother was one and i always followed in his footsteps. But i was always a huge animal lover and felt bad for the animals. I was thinking of becoming one again but im not sure. All i really eat is chicken, i don't like pork, beef that much.

| I read the book Skinny Bitch tonight and it seriously changed my life. I'm going straight vegan after that, there is just no way I can go back! I'm bookmarking all of those links! |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I've been a pescatarian (I eat fish) for 15 years - and I've never really missed meat. You can still get what you need elsewhere. Have you tried Quorn products yet? YUM!!

Yay for Skinny Bitch! The one caveat of that book is you can't be a sensitive person about swear words. The authors have a serious foul mouth but I thought it was really funny and made a very serious topic easier to read. Please let me know what you think of the cookbook. I don't have it but maybe I need it.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I wish much luck to you!! I did vegetarian for about 2 months. I decided last week not to do it anymore. I didn't feel healthy, I think because I was eating more crap than vegetables lol. SO I've gone back to meat, kind of. I used to eat meat constantly but now I don't really crave it/desire it like I did. Its nice once in a while (I think I've had it once since I came off vegetarian), but I'm over the every day-ness.
