I'm a Newbie

[Guest guest]

Dear Pat and Cindi,

I am a newbie to the group, and to vegetarianism. I stopped eating

red meat. I will have some daily, but I mostly eat soy products and

drink soy milk. I will occasionally have chicken and fish, so I'm

not totally vegetarian yet but I'm working my way there. I have to

ease into things slowly. That was how I was able to stop smoking 7

1/2 years ago, by easing myself out of it.

 

I also need to lose some weight. I decided that this is a very

healthy way to accomplish that. Weight loss aside, who couldn't use

the benefits of more fruits and veggies? It's a win-win situation as

I see it. I also buy mostly organic food, and usually only buy non-

organic if I absolutely don't have a choice at the grocery store.

 

I was wondering if you have any recommendations for your favorite

books for new vegetarians?

 

My name is Carol, and I live in Annapolis, Maryland. I'm very glad I

found the group and look foward to meeting others, and learning new

recipes! Thanks so much,

Carol
