Intro Susan

[Guest guest]

Welcome to the group. I don't want you to have the

impression this is a diet group. We are not a

weightloss group, vegetarians have to count calories

just like the meat eaters do. You are on a healthy

path becoming a vegetarian and we have countless

recipes in our files. Some are low calorie and some

have plenty of calories. There are vegan recipes as

well.

I think a good book for you would be:

 

" The Complete Idiot's Guide to being vegetarian " (I

know what a name, huh?)

The second edition has a lot of very helpful

information and it has tips on how to lower

cholesterol, budget tips, how to find foods when

dining out.

 

Enjoy yourself with us.

Donna
