I'm ready to do this! have a few questions!

fruit and veggies are always good, but I'd definitely add some protein sources too (greek yogurt, eggs, milk etc.)
personally, i'd probably get bored just eating fruits and veggies for five months (although I love them)

you should try having a balanced diet, as long as it fits your macros you don't really have to worry about it (apparently)

as far as exercising goes - a lot of running is working well for me, but lots of people swear on zumba, weight lifting etc.. entirely depends on you though.

good luck!

Do the green smoothie thing..they're great. google green smoothie girl and read.

I have been a vegetarian for years. When I first started I did not like most vegetables, but I am slowly adjusting my taste buds. Smoothies are fine as long as you consume them in moderation. They are often very high in sugar and low in protein. The best suggestion I have for you is to start experimenting. I try to prepare a new recipe every week using whole foods. For example, today I had roasted asparagus spears with garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. It was so good, but I found that when prepared this way, the farther down the stalk I got the less I liked it, while when I made an asparagus and barley risotto, I enjoyed every part of the asparagus. In other words, if you prepare a dish and end up not liking the vegetables, try making them a different way next time, but don't give up. There are so many different ways to prepare vegetables and so many different combinations that you really just have to keep experimenting until you find what is right for you. I have discovered a passion for cooking that I never knew I had! My only problem is that I live with a "meat and potatoes" eater that refuses to try even a bit of what I cook and it mostly dates back to the memory of a bad experience.....like everything else, it is all a mind game. Your taste buds will change. If you grew up eating nothing but fresh whole foods then had someone give you a slice of greasy pizza, you probably wouldn't like it. Feel free to add me as a friend and check out my food diary. I only just started a blog on here, but I will be posting updates with recipe experiments, too.
