Hello,

I am 19 and I am thinking about becoming a veggie, my father is not a veggie (atleast not conciously) but he hardly ever eats meat, is 61 and looks younger and is healthier then most 50 year olds! he doesnt smoke and has quit drink decades ago and I would want a similar body to that.

I have no idea where to start and stick to it because I am in pretty bad shape to be honest due to laziness and I know once I get revved up I stick to things so I really want to try the green lifestyle (shouldnt be too hard for me, I am Irish ;)) :tame:

Hi! :hi: You've come to the right place. There's so much information on this board. There are great threads geared toward new vegetarians or those who are thinking about it.

I began my journey with lots of reading. Here's a link to the Recommended Reading thread: http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/showthread.php?t=26749&highlight=recommended+reading
You can also request a vegetarian starter kit from PETA at goveg.com.
I found that to be very helpful in the beginning.

Good luck!
