I think I've decided..

I think I've decided to be a Vegitarian/Vegan!
I really have been wanting to ever since I saw this one Animal awards show presentation, but I'm such a picky eater, and my diet consists mainly of meat so it's not going to be easy, but I *am* willing to give it a try.
Any other Vegitarians/Vegans have any tips?
(Something that will be easy though, is no milk, since I hate milk!)

*HUGGIES*

Be very careful about making sure you get a good balance of vitamins and minerals, plenty of dark green leafy vegetable to make sure you keep your iron levels up, etc.

I'd consult a doctor or dietican before drastically changing your diet. I agree with Karen, without the proper vitamin & mineral balance you can do harm to your body.

I just realized how much stuff I couldn't eat, I could probably live without the meat, but the Dairy products would be Really hard =\...
Someone said If I still ate dairy products I'm still supporting this, but honestly I can't go without dairy products.
So I dunno.
Maybe it's easier than it sounds..

That's the difference between being vegetarian (you can still eat dairy products) and vegan (no dairy).

So I'll just be Vegitarian ^____^ or at least try..

Good luck Bri! I've been a vegetarian for about 7 years now. So if you need any good recipes, let me know!

Like Karen said, definatley make sure you are getting all the nutrients needed! If you don't take a multivitamin already, it would be a good idea to start taking them.

If you give me an idea of what else you like to eat I can find you some good veggie recipes.

If you have a store like Trader Joe or Whole Foods near you, you should check them out! They have so much great vegetarian food there. (Plus, sometimes that have really, really good samples! )

I found a whole page of recipes, and I told my mom I would try some new things. In one of the recipes I found a ground beef substitute type thing, and my mom said she wouldn't eat it unless she knew what was in it .
Well, my main source of protein has been Hamburger and chicken..so..
I love cucumbers, strawberries, apples, bananas, grapes, grapples, oranges, pears,(oops need more veggies! =P), Er....Corn, I *love* eggs, (and I still plan on eating them whether I'm supposed to or not ) andd I guess that's All I can think of. I like alot more fruits than I do veggies though.

I hate to say this, but I don't think I can do it.
At LEAST not right now. I want to help the animals, but now is just a really bad time to start being a Veg...=\
Edit: I guess I can try for a few days, but I still don't know if I can do it.
