For a while I've been thinking about becoming a vegetarian. I've done it before. Lasted nearly a year but my face broke out and nothing would get rid of it. Even pills from the doctor. So i went back to eating meat and a few weeks later it cleared up.
Well one of my new years resolutions was to do it again and fingers crossed the same doesn't happen. I adore animals and this feels like the right decision for me. This is day no 4. So i was wondering if anyone here is a vegetarian and can maybe give me some tips on healthy alternatives, snacks, receipes. Or just genera chat. Id be very appreciative <3 Thanks :-D

lots of nuts :) i am not vegitarian but my daughter is so i cook a bbit my fav is pumkin and bananna curry big hit with every one:)

Oooh that sounds intriguing. And yummy. Yeah i like nuts :-)

You probably missing protein which nuts and beans carry. Thats probably why the reaction. Try it with plenty of beans and nuts and see what happens.

@ReVampyDoll: i really cant give you advice mucka but ive already told you that you have my full support :D

you need to keep it well rounded theres plenty of recipes on the net but i would recomend some vitamins and iron tabs ,

Yeah definitely going to take vitamins. Im still going to eat dairy products and fish. But defo need to look up some receipes. Thanks people <3

Hi ReVampyDoll. Ive been a vegetarian since 2004. It was a piece of cake giving up pork (made me sick all the time anyway) and my hardest to give up was beef. Never was a fan of fish and chicken was even easier when I got a raw bloody juicy chicken sandwich from KFC. I was already on my way to vegetarian and it really helped out a lot lol Anyways, the breakouts may be an allergic reaction to certain veggies as they are plants also so you may want to try eating certain ones for a time and see what reaction you're having to them. I do eat egg and cheese but I prefer Almond milk over soy or regular. Vitamins are a necessity. However, the trick my dr has been preaching to me (she is one too) is to try a variety of veggies (exotic ones too), experiment with meals and tastes, I shop for veggie protein items to compliment the meal (peanut butter-my favorite and black beans are very very good too!), and watch out for the starchy things (my demons :p). Vegetarians who are deficient tend to make up with carbs.

Thanks @just me and you.
I've become quite addicted to mushrooms. So have had them with things. I've wrote down receipes off line and got some ideas also. Its all new and exciting :-)
