Looking for resources on becoming vegetarian [View All]

[Lone_Star_Dem]

I've decided to make the conversion, I've been easing myself into it for some time and it's time.

I'm looking for help finding resources on line or in print to guide me in my journey. I want to improve my health by doing this correctly. I was vegetarian once before and had a health issue (not related) where I had to have several pints of blood. My doctor at the time advised me to discontinue my vegetarian diet since I needed iron to counter my ongoing anemia.

Truth be told I wasn't a healthy vegetarian before anyway. I had no real concern for balance in my diet and just ate anything that wasn't meat. Since I've never liked eggs and don't do very much dairy (only the occasional goat cheese) I wasn't taking very good care of myself.

This time I want to do it right. It's not that I expect it to be difficult, I've never really liked meat except for the occasional piece of fish. I do, however, still eat it because I've been programed that it's "good" for me.

One slight problem is that I live in a rural area. I don't get into a Whole Foods market more that once every couple of months or less. The good thing is I grow 95% of my fresh veggies already and they are 100% organic!

Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated. :)
