Tips for new vegetarian?

Q. Any tips? AND I dont want the simple "stop eating all meat in your diet" because I have been a vegetarian for 2 days and want to keep going.
I might get personal trainer cooking today for the recipes and stuff
but recipes help! THX :D


Answer
Eat a lot of legumes to replace meat in your diet. In case you don't know legumes are beans, nut, and barley. If you crave meat here are easy substitutes:

Beef Stock>>>Mushroom Stock

Chicken stock>>>Veggie stock

Beef Tacos>>>Bean Burritos

Steak>>>Suted Mushrooms
