Vegetarian Lifestyle 101
If there’s one thing I’ve learned since being vegetarian, it’s that if you don’t do your research THOROUGHLY, you’re in for a world of hurt—or atleast hunger. The book above, entitled Skinny Bitch is responsible for me making the veggie plunge 
I was already doing my research for 2 months before I picked up this book. I, like a lot people, always believed that meat provided vital nutrients and was pretty much convinced that vegetarians were freaks of nature. I dined at a few vegan restaurants and LOVED what I ate. So, naturally, upon reading the vulgarity in this book (yes, that was a disclaimer), I said “What the hay.” The reason I stress the importance of proper research, is because most people think that the only way to feel full is from eating meat. HUH? There are so many alternatives to meat it’s not even funny. Tofu is one of my favorite foods now. It takes on the taste of whatever you cook it with, so if you so desire, you can actually make this taste like meat! I cook it with lots of spicy seasoning and I eat some atleast 4x a week. I would have never tried this stuff prior to making the switch (sorry, I didn’t know how else to say it!) Beans are another perfect food. Not refried beans– all natural in-the-bag beans! Eat your beans with some tofu and you’ll stay full for an entire day Also, multi-vitamins are extremely important.
I know this topic can be somewhat controversial (bc of PETA etc…) and so I will end this by posting some links that will help anyone make the right decision about being veg. I am not trying to sway you one way or another; I am simply providing some information bc so many people have asked me about it. So check out the links below and feel free to post a comment if you have other questions that these sites can’t answer. I will respond to everyone
