I just started to eat a vegetarian diet a couple of weeks ago. [View all]

I'm seeing improvements almost right away. The biggest difference I've noticed so far is that it's much more gentle on the digestive system. I also spent about 25 dollars less on groceries this week than when I was eating meat. This is my third week buying groceries in that manner, and it took a couple of weeks to adjust to that, but now that I have I see that it's going to save me a lot of money.

Good on ya, Tobin S... Are you avoiding processed food and sugar too? Dairy? hlthe2b Jun 2019 #2

No, haven't gone the vegan route yet. Tobin S. Jun 2019 #5

Dairy is my downfall. I rarely eat red meat and already eat all varieties of beans frequently, but hlthe2b Jun 2019 #7

Cheese is like a drug. I think it's addictive. :) Tobin S. Jun 2019 #8
