I picked up a copy of "Healthy Habits Vegetarian Diet - A Guide to Becoming Vegetarian" by Nicky Smith the other day. My wife and I have been looking to switch to a vegetarian diet as we have both had some recent health issues. We juice and eat meat still, but are wondering the health benefits of a vegetarian diet.This book helped to point out some great facts as to the many different levels or categories of vegetarians there are. I fall into the middle of the Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarian. I work out and need a higher level of protein than the average guy. I'm 6'4" and weight 245 pounds. I'm still trying to increase my muscle mass, but want the health benefits of eating more fruits and vegetables. So, I'll probably still eat eggs, but can do away with dairy all together.Some of the staples a vegetarian eats, I already eat and love in my diet. The book does an excellent job of walking you through the whole process of possibly becoming a vegetarian. The book offers such topics as Types of Vegetarians, Why people chose to become a vegetarian, Why not become one, Braving the transition, health concerns, vegetarians staple foods, where to shop for these amazing foods, eating out, and how to use the vegetarian lifestyle to improve your health.I truly believe adding fruits and vegetable are the best way to improve ones health and provide your body with the greatest amounts of nutrients your body needs to build health and live disease free.This is truly an amazing book! I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to improve their health, feel better, and/or improve their overall health. Eating more whole foods while limiting high fattening meals and reducing your overall calories can help you lose weight, increase energy, and become healthier in 2013.
