You feel a lot healthier- not heavy after you eat!.
If you eat the correct foods- for example, more veggies and fruits versus breads and fats, you can lose weight!.
also, there are many vegetarian cookbooks out there that have very yummy recipes for dishes!. And, you won't feel guilty for eating afterwords :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's great you're thinking about going veg!. Some of the benefits:

The American Dietetic Association says that vegetarians have “lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease; … lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer” and that vegetarians are less likely than meat-eaters to be obese!.

Helps to reduce the demand for meat and prevent animal suffering!. It's estimated that each vegetarian prevents the suffering and deaths of about 100 animals per year!.

Better for the environment!. It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of animal flesh!. Raising animals for food requires huge amounts of land, food, energy, and water!.
