what is the best way to start out to become a vegeterian. But still get all my proper nutrition. Plus when someone goes vegetarian. Does that mean to eliminate all meat. Because see I am a very thin build person but need to go vegeterian because of Metabollic disorder Trimethylaminuria. But I'm worried I may loose weight and that is something I don't want to happen. Are there any advice, good books, magazines or websites that got information on this. If so any would be a great value to me. Also advice from any vegetarians would be a really big great help to me. Thank you so much.
I go vegetarian every year for about a month, normally when i do my yearly system cleanse. One of the most important components in my vegetarian diet that i look for is protein. I try to choose vegetarian products that contain sufficient daily amount of protein for an active adult male. Since i work out regularly i try to keep it at the no less than 100 grams per day minimum. But protein isn't really the only important component. If you need to become vegetarian for good then i would create a list of nutrition, vitamins and minerals necessary as a daily minimum and then search for their respective vegetarian sources. That, of course, may appear tedious and challenging at first and may take some time but as soon as you build your own vegetarian library of necessary nutrition and such, tailored to your individual needs, then you will have a clear view on how to organize your daily recipes as well as what to shop for when going to a store (knowing exactly what you need may also save you on your grocery budget). Good luck with your quest and make it a hobby too, that way you'll bring some fun to it as well ;-)
Unfortunately being vegetarian doesn't always mean losing weight. Myself and others I've known have actually gained weight since going without meat. My theory is many of us after losing the protein source make up for it in carbs (like beans and rice) and more fattening proteins like dairy (cheese milks yogurt etc).
If you plan your diet carefully (as you're looking to do) your results will be closer to what you had in mind rather than just eating whatever's handy that doesn't happen to be meat. You DO have to plan more carefully as a vegetarian - but the end result will be that you're healthier (more disease free) and fitter for your efforts.
I went vegetarian because I had bad liver function, cholesterol through the roof, very high blood pressure etc. Instead of taking all the drugs that only made me sicker I decided on lifestyle changes (and going vegetarian was one of them) and no more drugs. In the words of my doctor "the improvement was almost miraculous" (although he didn't know I stopped using all the drugs he prescribed).
