Guest guest Report post Posted December 6, 2009 Hi all, I have just joined the group. I'm a 56-year-old guy who has been vegetarian for just 5 months (and loving it). My reason for this change is a concern for animals - that my own health will benefit is a bonus. I stopped eating all meat cold turkey (sorry for that). No eggs either but am still weaning off cheese, which for me is the toughest food to forgo. I also do not eat honey. This is a change for the rest of my life so I'm adapting carefully to avoid relapses. My goal is to become a true vegetarian. One of the experiences I'm enjoying most since going vegetarian is, believe or not, food prep. I've never been much of a cook but this diet change is forcing me to spend the time, get creative and enjoy the process! Looking forward to reading some good info and advice and hope, once I've gained a little knowledge, I can contribute as well. Cheers, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
