Noob to vegetarianism?

-i'm not prepared to go full blown vegetarian, but i will decrease my meat intake to only 2-3 times a week. i'm not a big meat eater anyways. i'll have fish sometimes, mostly i have chicken though. beef i have rarely. i take multivitamins so the lack of B12 won't be an issue. i did have a question about energy though. i exercise about 2 hours a day. will only eating fruits and veggies make me dizzy the first few times or will it be enough to get through a workout? also what contains protein besides meat and nuts?Eat some peanut butter. sunflower seeds. almonds are good too for protein.

but you will be fine just eating fruit and veggies for your work out..but you can eat pasta and rice and stuff too not just veggiesI work out pretty hard and have never had a problem with dizziness on my vegan diet, as long as I eat enough calories. Everything you eat contains protein (where do you think the cows get it from? They don't eat meat and nuts, unless silly humans are feeding them the wrong stuff), and most vegetables have more protein than you even need. Its important to get lots of dark leafy greens - they have tons of protein and vitamins and minerals that we need. I highly recommend green smoothies (rotating you dark leafies is important). Beans and whole grains are also great sources of protein.



Since you seem to be very health conscious, you might be interested in exploring the research literature showing a strong link between consumption of animal products and risk of cancer and heart disease. http://www.vegsource.com/news/2010/01/me鈥?/a>
