    Welcome to vegetarianism! I've been one for 9 years. My favorite low calorie meal is slicing up vegetarian sausage links with peppers and onions in the skillet. Mix it with buffalo sauce (it's 0 calories) and you have a healthy and tasty meal. Just be sure to stay away from pasta as much as you can. That's how I gained most of my weight. My family would go out to eat and the only thing vegetarian for me was cheesy pasta with a side of bread.

    This is my favorite vegan food in the world. I thought I would never have "pulled pork" again --> http://www.lightlife.com/Vegan-Food-Vegetarian-Diet/Smart-BBQ

    I'm a new vegan. I began with a juice cleanse that really spiked my energy levels and general sense of happy, and I was hooked. Looking forward to experimenting in the kitchen with all the bright and gorgeous vegetables :)

    Ah wow, sooo many great things to eat while feeling good about what your putting into your body. I'm a pescatarian, but mostly eat vegetarian. Before, I used to be vegan for five years until people accused me of being on a "restrictive" diet. However, I know many great and fulfilling recipes, both vegan and vegetarian. Adding you now :)

    Hi all! I'm a vegetarian and I love making soups, curries, spicy food, and cooking with as much protein and as many fun veggies as I can :) I've been working out for a couple years now and I love everything from weights to dance to climbing.

    For recipes (for all occasions) you can try the PETA website- they have hundred of recipes and sample menu plans too, even just to browse around for ideas/inspiration.

    Thanks everyone for posting so quickly! I have a lot of food for though here! Looking forward to many more yummy "non-meat" foods! :tongue:


    I guess I should also post out that I'm a nursing mom of a 1 year old! So cleanses sadly are a no go for me right now. 8o)
