I can fully sympathize, I'm turned off by meat most of the time.

Although I'm not a full time vegetarian, I consider myself "mostly-veg". This book was really helpful when I was thinking about becoming veg (I lasted 6 months before an overwhelming craving for tuna salad, something I don't even like, made me fall off the wagon)

I notice that a newer version has come out.

The books are written by dietitians and they have great recipes to get things going.

There are tons of websites, articles, books, and I'm sure forums, to support you through this path.

Good luck!

I don't have a book but I understand! I just started eating meat again 2 months ago after 5 months of no meat. My reason for not eating meat was the same as yours, my body was having a hard time with it- I didn't want it, it didn't taste good, I couldn't stand to look at it,etc. Then one day all of a sudden I wanted it again!. I do not have a book or website to give, but I will tell how I got more protein.
I added beans to my diet! All different types-cannolini, black beans, kidney beans, lentils,garbonzo,etc. I would have to say that a big chunk of my protein came from the bean family!

I also learned that while I don't like tofu, I love tempeh. Quinoa is also great!

So play around and see what works for you.

Hey! I'm a vegetarian (nearly vegan) and am terrible with links,
but check out:

vegweb
vegetarian resource group (vrg)
peta (I know some of them are nuts, but they have some great info)

As a veg, I eat much better than I did as an omni. It has not interefered with my performance, and I feel great.

I am vegan, have been for several years, and really like the book Becoming Vegan. It is all about nutrition, by the same authors as the Becoming Vegetarian book.

Is that where you're from too?

Have to warn you though, I'm moving soon (to Loma Mar).

Yes, I live in Foster City. Darn, wish you weren't moving. First time I've ever known another bicyclist from here. I wish you well in your move, though.
