The Top 9 Easy Steps to Take When Starting A Vegetarian Diet
Here's How To Get Started On The Way Towards Better Health and Vegetarianism . . .
Vegetarian Tip 1. Start your transition by dropping junk foods, white sugar, and all meats, including fish and poultry.
Vegetarian Tip 2. Find others who are already vegetarian who can guide and support you during your shift e.g. veg forums, meet-ups and societies in your area.
Vegetarian Tip 3. Read books on vegetarianism and veganism. Or contact your state's Vegan and Vegetarian Society who would be happy to send you a Veg Starter pack.
Vegetarian Tip 4. Try out recipes that substitute plant-based alternatives into your old favorite dishes. (e.g. veggie burgers, veggie sausages, veggie fish cakes, tofu or veggie pies and soy products). Hint: Convenience foods cut out cooking time. Natural food stores stock many such things for you to choose from.
Vegetarian Tip 5. Eat less and less meat and dairy (if you couldn't give-up all meats at once, gradually delete them from your diet over a week or so), and eat more and more fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. Eat large salad every day (hint: make your salads as colorful as a rainbow for maximum nutrient content, with plenty of dark leafy greens).
Vegetarian Tip 6. Replace meat and dairy with a wide variety of organically grown whole grains like breads, beans, rice, nuts, pasta and cereals.
Vegetarian Tip 7. Don't worry about protein. There is protein in all whole foods. Humans need only 8% dietary protein - that percent amount is found in an orange!
Vegetarian Tip 8. Get regular exercise, fresh air, and plenty of clean filtered water. Enjoy your journey, soon you will have more energy, a cleaner body, better skin, plus you'll feel much healthier and lighter, too!
Vegetarian Tip 9. Join the veg community, and educate yourself more about animal and cruelty free living. Here's a good place to start Vegan and Vegetarian Secrets now.

Find Vegan Recipes and Acceptable Alternatives
The decision to switch to a vegan diet can be one of the most difficult and life-changing ones you will ever make - if you don't know how to be vegan 'the easy way' that is. Some people make the decision for health reasons, and others do so for moral reasons. Whatever your motive might be for giving up animal products, it is important that you find acceptable alternatives to the meat you once enjoyed. Trying out different vegan recipes will allow you to find the ones that you like best!Food For Thought
There are many foods that are accepted as part of a vegan diet, and they do not require a recipe at all! People who follow a vegan diet are allowed to eat fruits, vegetables, tofu, and nuts. These foods can be eaten alone, but they often serve as a base for a vegan recipe.
Additionally, modern grocery stores and supermarkets do an exceptional job of providing alternatives to foods that do not comply with a vegan diet. Items such as soy-cheese, non-dairy bread, and tofu ice cream make following a vegan diet and serving vegan recipes much easier. Vegans should check at their local grocery stores to see what products are available.
Gourmet Goodies
Like all other people, people following a vegan diet enjoy foods beyond the basic fruits and vegetables. It is nice to be able to prepare a recipe-or in this case, a vegan recipe-for dinners and special occasions. Being a vegan makes preparing recipes more difficult, because many of the ingredients found in standard recipes do not comply with the vegan lifestyle.
However, this does not mean that vegan food junkies should give up hope. There are many places where vegan recipes are readily available. The Internet is an amazing resource, and many websites contain a large database of animal-free recipes. Additionally, it might be a good idea to check your local library or book store for vegan cookbooks.
"Meat" Loaf and More
Vegan recipes have become very innovative in that they have found many acceptable meat alternatives. It is even possible to find recipes for "meat" loaf, "chicken" strips, and "turkey" roast. The ability to find vegan substitutes for these standard meals demonstrates the adaptability of a vegan's lifestyle.
To make "Meat" Loaf, vegan style, begin by assembling the ingredients you will need. These include: 2 cups of prepared vegetable broth, ½ cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons tamari (soy sauce may be substituted), 2 cups of TVP granules, 1 cup of quick oats or bread crumbs, 1/4 cup ground flaxseed, 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast, 1 tsp each garlic granules, onion powder, oregano, and basil.
After preheating the oven to 375 degrees, start by mixing the prepared vegetable broth, TVP, tamari, and ketchup in a medium bowl. Let the mixture stand until the liquid is absorbed, or for about 10 minutes. Stir in all of the left over ingredients and mix well.
In a 9×5 loaf pan or glass casserole dish, tightly pack the mixture and put it in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Serve with mushroom gravy and mashed potatoes to complete the vegan recipe.
Children Choose "Chicken"
For a kid-friendly meal, "chicken" strips are a great choice. How can you cook chicken strips without the main ingredient-chicken? As usual, vegans have found a way to make their own version of this popular dinner.
The ingredients needed for this recipe are: oakra from one batch of soy milk, one 6 oz can of tomato paste, spices of your choice ( suggestions include salt, garlic powder, sage, cayenne, and black pepper), and 3 cups quick oats.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and mix the okara, spices, and tomato paste in a large bowl. Gradually, one cup at a time, add the oatmeal to the mixture. Mix well (you might need to use your hands), and then shape them into thin strips. For a creative twist, let your kids mold the dough into shapes of their choice. Finally, bake them for 30-45 minutes and enjoy!
The Versatile Vegan
Though society is beginning to gear more foods and meals towards vegan eaters, it can still be more difficult to prepare vegan foods and recipes - but only if you don't know how to do so. So if you want to cut out all the pain and frustration of preparing or even looking for suitable and wonderfully tasting vegan foods, check out the below link today.
The mark of a true vegan is that they are resourceful and able to adapt many meat-based recipes to their own lifestyles.

Global Warming & The Animal Agriculture Footprint
Did you Know that living a Vegetarian Lifestyle Could Help Impact MASSIVE Changes in Global Warming?Well here are just a few reasons why . . .
- It takes 22 times the acres of land to meet the food energy needs of one person eating meat than it does for one person eating potatoes.
- It takes more than 13 times the water to produce one day's food supply for an omnivore than it does for a vegan.
- It takes 27 times the petroleum to produce a hamburger than it does a soy burger.
- The land animals confined and killed every year excrete 130 times the feces and urine produced by humans.
- Livestock production also utilizes more than eight percent of global water use, primarily for feed-crop irrigation.
- The annual greenhouse gas output from burger consumption is the equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas output from between four and 13 million SUVs.
- In the Amazon, approximately 60-70 percent of deforestation results from cattle ranches and soybean cultivation.
- And according to a UN FAO report, "in all, livestock production amounts to 70 percent of all agricultural land and 30 percent of the land surface of this planet." The USDA says growing crops for animals takes up 80 percent of the agricultural land in the US and animals raised for food in the US consume 90 percent of the soy crop, 80 percent of the corn and 70 percent of its grain.
(Ref: VegNews)
PS> Also just as distressing: according to the United Nations, the meat industry "emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global"
PLUS ... around the world more than 50 BILLION land animals are slaughter each year.

Healthy at 100: The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the World's Healthiest and Longest-Lived Peoples
* Listen to a FREE Sample of 'John Robbins' New Audio Book . . ."His advice is mostly commonsensical and scientifically sound, and readers seeking that elusive fountain of youth would be wise to listen up." ... Publishers Weekly
Why do some people age in failing health and sadness, while others grow old with vitality and joy? In this revolutionary book, best-selling author John Robbins presents us with a bold new paradigm of aging, showing us how we can increase not only our lifespan but also our health span.
Through the example of four very different cultures that have the distinction of producing some of the world's healthiest, oldest people, Robbins reveals the secrets for living an extended and fulfilling life in which our later years become a period of wisdom, vitality, and happiness. Bringing the traditions of these cultures together with the latest breakthroughs in medical science, Robbins reveals that, remarkably, they both point in the same direction.

Hot Avocado Salad Recipe
This avocado recipe has a very nice twist on the usual cold salad style. You can top this with either vegan grated cheese, parmesan or simply leave the cheese alternative off it. It's great with or without the vegan cheese topping.
You will need:
3 medium avocados
1 medium tomato
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 red capsicum, finely chopped
1 stick celery, finely chopped
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons sweet chilli sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup grated vegan cheese (optional)
Here's what to do with your ingredients:
- Preheat oven to moderate 180 C, and prepare a non-stick oven tray.
- Cut avocados in half lengthways and remove seeds. Scoop out two-thirds of the flesh, roughly chop. Retain shells.

Meat: The REAL forbidden Fruit
Written by: Jeff Popick
This is the most important book of the 21st century... because it's the one that will get us to the 22nd century.Jeff Popick is a passionate man with a compelling message. In The Real Forbidden Fruit he describes, often with great brilliance, the reasons he and many others feel both a moral and intellectual imperative to be vegan. As outspoken as he is thoughtful, Jeff Popick isn't about to sit back in resignation and watch humanity descend ever deeper into darkness. Shining like a torch, his writings come from deeply held convictions, and profound concern for the welfare of all sentient beings.
- John Robbins, author of Diet For A New America and Healthy At 100.
WARNING: This book is not for the faint-hearted!
In "The Real Forbidden Fruit," Jeff Popick blows wide open the myths and misconceptions surrounding meat and its effects on our planet, our bodies, our society and our spirituality - and it's not a pretty picture.
Using thoughtful and thorough analysis, "The Real Forbidden Fruit" demonstrates how the animal industry, and our complicity with it, has created the dysfunctional and self-destructive world we live in today. Disease, famine, environmental disaster and even war are demonstrated to be direct results of our callous treatment of our fellow inhabitants of this planet.
Fortunately, there is a solution that can lead us all back to the Paradise this world once was, but it requires that we finally recognize what was "The Real Forbidden Fruit".

Vegetarian Times Study Shows 7.3 Million Americans are Vegetarian
Vegetarianism In America
Additional 22.8 Million Follow a Vegetarian-Inclined Diet
The just-released "Vegetarianism in America" study, published by Vegetarian Times (vegetariantimes.com), shows that 3.2 percent of U.S. adults, or 7.3 million people, follow a vegetarian-based diet. Approximately 0.5 percent, or 1 million, of those are vegans, who consume no animal products at all. In addition, 10 percent of U.S., adults, or 22.8 million people, say they largely follow a vegetarian-inclined diet.
Data for this survey were collected by the Harris Interactive Service Bureau on behalf of Vegetarian Times. The poll surveyed 5,050 respondents, a statistically representative sample of the total U.S. population. Vegetarian Times commissioned RRC Associates, a research firm in Boulder, Colo., to perform the data analysis.
The 2008 study also indicates that of the non-vegetarians surveyed 5.2 percent, or 11.9 million people, are "definitely interested" in following a vegetarian-based diet in the future.
The study also collected data on age, gender and other demographic factors. Of the vegetarians surveyed:
# 59 percent are female; 41 percent are male.
# 42.0 percent are age 18 to 34 years old; 40.7 percent are 35 to 54; and 17.4 percent are over 55.
# 57.1 percent have followed a vegetarian diet for more than 10 years; 18 percent for 5 to 10 years; # 10.8 percent for 2 to 5 years, 14.1 percent for less than 2 years.
The 2008 study also indicated that over half (53 percent) of current vegetarians eat a vegetarian diet to improve their overall health. Environmental concerns were cited by 47 percent ; 39 percent cited " natural approaches to wellness" ; 31 percent cited food-safety concerns; 54 percent cited animal welfare; 25 percent cited weight loss; and 24 percent weight maintenance.
"The vegetarian sector is one of the fastest-growing categories in food publishing," says Elizabeth Turner, Vegetarian Times' editor in chief. "It's a dedicated group of consumers that is growing daily."
"A vast number of people are seeking to reduce their meat intake, creating a rapidly growing market for all things vegetarian," says Bill Harper, vice president and publisher of Vegetarian Times. That trend is reflected in the growth of the magazine, which saw July through December 2007 newsstand sales increase 19.4 percent over the same period in 2006.
About Vegetarian Times: For over 30 years, Vegetarian Times has been at the forefront of the healthful-living movement, providing recipes, expert wellness information, and environmentally sound lifestyle solutions to vegetarians, vegans, and non-vegetarians alike.
