Hi everyone, I'm new to the board.
For a while I have been thinking about being a vegetarian. A few months ago I tried it, and lost all my energy and got major migraines every day. That's part of the reason I am a little worried about trying it again. This year is so busy I really cant afford to be home everyday. That's why I came here, to try and get some advice on vitamins I can take, etc.
I also have some other questions I hope I could get some answers for. -
1.) Tofu. I hear a lot about it, and was wondering if I could get some more info on it. I have looked it up on the web, but I want everyone's personal opinion on it.
2.) As I mentioned earlier, what are some vitamins I can take to get the nutrition I need? Is just a normal vitamin enough? I'm in my teens so I don't know if that will effect what vitamins I can/can not take.
3.) Meat alternatives. I tried those 'Boca Burgers' last time, and they tasted horrible. Just the smell made my feel sick. Are all the other alternative type meats the same way? Or do different brands taste differently?
4.) Last time I tried to become a vegetarian I just stopped eating meat all together. One day I was eating meat 2 times a day, the next I just stopped. Do you think its easier to just stop, or go into it slowly? ( cutting out more and more meat every week)
Any other info would be great.
I'm glad I found this board, you all seem very helpful, which is just what I need right now.
Thanks!
