Vegitarian....how to become?
How do I become a vegiatarian? Do I just stop eating animals? Will I loose weight?
Answers:
Depends on the individual. Some people manage to cut off eating meat cold turkey and can do it! I think that's challenging but hey. Or, you can slowly take meat out of your diet then move on to the substitutes (tofu, hummus,etc). I slowly got off meat. Once you do that, you won't have the desire to go back to meat because your use to not eating it. I love being a veggie eater! I think it's best to slowly get off meat, have your body some time to get use to changes instead of drastically doing it. That's my opinion.
Watch out for gelatin and rennent as mentioned because they tend to have animals in them.
Just because your a vegetarian does not mean you will lose weight or become healthy. You can be a vegetarian and still eat doritos, cupcakes, cookies, etc. If you eat your fruits, veggies, nuts, tofu, (a sweet or two won't hurt) excersis and drink tons of water, you are good to go! Here's an excellent site for vegetarians in training:

Also going on google has some more excellent sites also, especially PETA sites.
