Hey everyone,
About a year ago I was indefinitely put on a regimen of medication that causes pretty significant weight gain.
Now a year later I'm sitting probably 30-40 pounds heavier than I'd like to be and now that my illness that will remain nameless is more in check I'd like to start making changes to my diet and exercise routine that could cut down on this as much as possible.
That being said the only meat I really consume at this point in my life is chicken as I hate seafood am not a big fan of beef or steak so I don't really feel that cutting out the meat would be that much of an issue. I am also at a point where I've learned that I know damn near nothing about cooking or cooking healthy meals so I want to try to start to learn this while moving in the direction of a healthy vegetarian diet. My main concern is finding vegetarian meals that I'll enjoy as I am a fairly picky eater. I think that I would like to cut out milk as I'm not a big fan of dairy products and limit my intake of eggs but not eliminate it.
My main questions for all of you are what recommendations would you make in regards to the transition that could potentially lead to a more permanent life choice. And also what are some vegetarian cookbooks and foods you would recommend for me?
Thanks,
kjwaldmann
