Hi, everyone. I'm LauraB, 43, single and residing in the Toronto area in Canada.

I am not vegetarian, but am interested on it. I have a new friend, and he's a

vegetarian (eats milk and cheese). I'm not sure which vegetarian he is.

 

I am concerned with my health. I need to lose 15 lbs and part of Weight Watchers

for a couple of years. I'm lifetime, so I weigh in monthly.

 

I always found it a challenge on making entrees with meat. I have purchased a

vegetarian cookbook and will be looking in some thrift stores to see what else

is available. I have a multitude of cookbooks. I have 2 dealing with meatless

and wholesome foods, but no nutritional info.

 

I'm waiting for 2 books from the library. Can anyone recommend any magazines out

there? If you're in Canada, that would be preferable. Not everything is

available here.

 

I have seen " Vegetarian Times, " but waiting for next month's issue coming soon.

I browsed last month. It's pricey for one issue. I use to to " Cooking

Light " which was the same price per issue.

 

I to " Shape, " and " Healthy Cooking. " Shape doesn't have much with

recipes, but fitness, a good way to lose weight, right? Healthy Cooking I love.

It's from the Reiman publishers, " Taste of Home " magazines and cookbooks.

 

" Weight Watchers. " I have old ones I don't throw out and may purchase every

couple of months. There may be some meatless ones, and good overall advise on

leading a healthy lifestyle.

 

I did go with my new friend to a Middle Eastern takout place and had the Middle

Eastern " baklava. " I could never eat the Greek one, it's too sweet. I do have a

sweet tooth.

 

I'm looking forward to the group, gathering the knowledge on this lifestyle. I

downloaded something from the " Vegetarian Times, " basic info on vegetarian.
