How to be a vegetarian?

Broths & sauces are the hardest thing to avoid. Everyone lies about them.

Baked beans, butter beans, lima beans, string beans, green beans, black beans, kidney beans, pea beans, navy beans, pinto beans.... but I want jelly beans.

Try and eat whole grains for the vitamins and minerals, and I'd suggest you take a good multi-vit tablet with minerals.


Stuff like your urine and poop will change, too. Try and deal with it with the foods you eat rather than altering body chemistry with medications. Sure many meds have natural ingredients in them, like the kaolin clay in some anti-diarrheals, but drinking blackberry tea or blackberry brandy will slow the rush too. Just slower and more comfortably metabolized.

we couldn't tolerate it very well but I love the other good helpful info. Already into teas, honey and vitamins....oh lest not forget the brandy. good medicine

Don't just try to make the usual meat & two veg meals into veg and two veg (although it helps to increase veg portions in the transition stage as Smurf says). Try cooking completely different style meals. Use vegetables you wouldn't usually serve with meat - aubergines, sweet potatoes, romano peppers and pulses like chickpeas, lentils, bulgar wheat.

good suggestions SG

did someone say j.e.l.l.y. b.e.a.n.s!




anyway, needless to say I too love mercury laden fish too much to be a true veggie I've decided.
