Hi Gary Newbee here!

[Guest guest]

 

You would probably do better on a Weight Watchers diet plan where your food is

measured out, just  make it vegetarian, sub their non-veg products with veg

burgers, etc. 

Sorry to bust your bubble but being vegetarian is a lifestyle not a weight loss

diet and you can be an unhealthy vegetarian if you don't watch what you eat.

We aren't a diet or health group. You didn;t get in this condition overnight and

it is going to be a lot of hard work and dedication on your part.  Eating out? 

That will be hard, because you have no idea how much oil, sodium, preservatives

and things go into their food, very hard to count any calories if you plan on

eating out.

Please browse our recipe files, they are huge and their are many recipes for you

to enjoy.

Remember potato chips, cookies, soda, and lots of candy are vegetarian.

hello,

 

My name is Gary and I am 59.5 years old. I am fat, out of shape, with high

cholesterol, hbp, etc. I don't like drugs, hospitals or doctors. But I realize

that I must lead a healther lifestyle. I want my 60's to be healthier than my

50's if possible.

 

I have been a heavy meat eater my whole life. I am also a compulsive overeater.

Going vegetarian will not be easy for me but I am going to give it a shot and

see what happens. I think the hardest part will be going out to restaurants. I

live in a small town in upstate NY that is not very sophisticated. The closest

town with vegetarian restaurants and a vegetarian mind set is Ithaca. It is

about 35 miles from here.

 

In any event, i may need your advice and will probably have many questions as

times goes on.

 

WISH ME LUCK!

 

Gary
