New veg

[Guest guest]

Hi all:

I am feeling pretty good about joining this group!

Let me introduce myself.

For the new year I decided to began with a vegetarian diet. I have

attempted a few times before but fell pathetically short: eating

nothing but breads and cheating. This time I have educated myself

and hace decided a gradual approach is the best for me. I am still

eating (in limited servings) fish, fowl, eggs and some dairy. (My

daughter has a dairy allergy and I want to make shopping a bit less

painful.

Any help that anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for ways to keep my daughter and I both well fed,

satisfied and healthy.

Thanks!

Rachee,

 

Check out the book, The Gradual Vegetarian. I can't remember the author

just now, but it is terrific! I used it when I first made the switch

from meat eater to vegetarian. My husband and I had not eaten red meat

for several years prior, but moving to complete vegetarianism was still

a bit daunting. This book helped a lot, and has some wonderful recipes

to boot!

Hi Rachee

 

I'm another newbie in similar circumstances - although I haven't tried

this before. At the moment, I'm finishing off the meat in the freezer

and stocking up on the alternatives instead of buying more. It's going

to be interesting!

Rachee, the first thing I would suggest is building a pantry of

vegetarian essentials that you want to have around for most recipes.

This link on Nava Atlas's site should help:

Don't worry for now how much you are vegetarian or not. Start

collecting and trying recipes until you have a set of reliable ones that

you can make anytime.

 

Here are some vegetarian recipes sites to get you started on finding

recipes:

 

http://www.vrg.org/recipes/index.htm,

http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes.htm, http://vegweb.com/recipes/,

http://www.vegcooking.com/, or http://vegetarian.allrecipes.com/,

http://www.tastyandmeatless.com/recipes.htm.

 

Here are some portals to other vegetarian sites and recipe sites:

 

http://www.jewishveg.com/recipes.html,

http://www.myhq.com/public/s/u/susanv/,

http://www.vegsource.com/recipes, or

http://www.madcowboy.com/02_VegRecipes.html.

 

Other ideas:

 

Subscribe to some vegetarian magazines, such as Vegetarian Family and

Child, Vegetarian Journal, Vegetarian Times, or Veggie Life.

 

Buy vegetarian cookbooks.

 

Join a local vegetarian group. You can start with going to

http://www.meetup.com and searching for " vegetarian " or " vegan. "

Some excellent suggestions from Maida! Perhaps you would also like to look

in our Links - under Recipe Sites for those recipe sites appropriate to the

theme of this group - ie 'slimming' ;=)

 

As a matter of fact, don't stop there! Look at the other folders in Links -

there's

a wealth of information represented by those urls!

 

Best,

Hello all

My name is Zena, 41 year old black queen size female; living in Detroit, MI.

I desire to become a vegetarian, but where do I start? What foods do I eat, in

place of meat?

Do I'm suppose to eat more, when I stop eating meat?

O.K. you guys, help me; I don't know what to do.
