About 5 years ago I was on mainly a vegetarian diet.  I slowly went the other direction and while I don’t eat that much meat- I have noticed that I don’t feel as vibrant as I did before (and I’ve also gained some weight).The weight gain made me realize that it is a myth that vegetarians gain more weight than others as I went the other direction diet wise and that was when I gained the weight.  I don’t want to say I feel sluggish but that is probably the closest word to describe the way I have felt the past two years.I started shifting back to my vegetarian lifestyle a couple weeks ago and was more than glad to find this book.This book re-enforces the fact that I can have a great assortment of vegetarian meals and take the few added (and unwanted) pounds back off.I had been buying organic frozen meals (and they are costly plus finding them is not easy either).  This book has an excellent selection of recipes that are not only great tasting but budget friendly.  Plus when I read the list of recipes I felt the author had hand- picked ones that would be my favorites. I was definitely correct!This is an excellent read and even if you are not a vegetarian, you can add some of these meatless meals to your week now and then.I also appreciated the section regarding why microwaving isn’t good for you. This section alone is worth buying the book.  The author definitely did his research on  the topic of microwaving foods and the results of doing so.All in all, I was quite impressed with this book.
