Resources for making the switch to a healthy vegetarian lifestyle
Resources for vegetarian reading are plenty these days...
If you are considering adopting a vegetarian diet and lifestyle
after years of eating meat, the change might seem exciting and
overwhelming at once. Fortunately, there are more resources available
than ever to help you navigate the great world of vegetarianism.
Some of these resources include:
Books: You can visit your local library or bookstore or
amazon.com to check out the multiple books and cookbooks written for
vegetarians. Some popular titles include: The Moosewood cookbooks,
Meatless Meals for Working People by Charles Stahler and Debra
Wasserman, Vegetarian Times' Beginner's Guide, The Gradual Vegetarian
by Lisa Tracy, Passionate Vegetarian by Crescent Dragonwagon, and
many, many more. You can also download a free e-book on how to
successfully become a vegetarian at http://www.veggie123.com/.
Magazines: Vegetarian Times (www.vegetariantimes.com/) and Veg
News (www.vegnews.com/web/home.do) are two popular and helpful
magazines for new and old vegetarians alike, available through
subscription, in stores and online.
Blogs: As more and more people adopt a vegetarian lifestyle, more
and more blogs are created on the subject. Check out The Groovy
Vegetarian (http://www.groovyvegetarian.com/), Vegetarian Organic Blog
(http://vegetarianorganicblog.com/), and Veg Blogs
(http://www.vegblogs.com/) among others.
Discussions or podcasts: Keep an eye out for local events or
speakers on the vegetarian lifestyle, or look online for various
vegetarian-related podcasts, including the round-up of highly rated
podcasts at
http://vegetarian.about.com/od/vegetarianlifestyle/tp/vegpodcasts.htm. Listening
to others can serve to inspire you more.
Nutritionist: Make an appointment with a professional
nutritionist (even better, find one who specializes in vegetarian
diets) to discuss any questions, concerns, or issues you have as you
embark on a new lifestyle. A nutritionist can also recommend recipes
and other resources for you.
Finally, if you know anyone who's a vegetarian, ask them how they made
the switch, what challenges and joys they've had, what their favorite
recipes are, and any other questions that come to mind. The more you
know, the more you'll likely enjoy and appreciate your new vegetarian
lifestyle.
