Summary:
The golden rule of vegetarianism is that you need protein to feel full. If youre still hungry after a meal, then you probably didnt eat enough protein.

This may seem a bit shocking, but many new vegetarians actually gain weight when they stop eating meat. As a vegetarian, you must adjust to an entirely new vegetarian food pyramid. Years of eating patterns must be re-programmed.
The golden rule of vegetarianism is that you need protein to feel full. If youre still hungry after a meal, then you probably didnt eat enough protein. Many new vegetarians gain weight because they find themselves not getting full after a meal. In turn, they eat more and start snacking.
Vegetarian meat substitutes
As a new vegetarian, you must make an active effort to replace meat, not just remove it, from your diet. If you are unsure how to replace meat in your diet, go to the store and buy a few different meat substitutes to try at home. There is a lot more than tofu on the market, so jump in and start sampling. Meat substitutes can typically be found in the frozen food, produce, or canned food sections.
If you are unhappy with the meat substitutes youve chosen, try cooking them differently or try a different brand. Be patient! You will find some you like and others you dont. While fake meat might smell, look, and taste like the real thing, it will either require significantly more or less cooking time (depending on the product).
Vegetarian protein shakes, bars and powders
To replace meat, consider adding your favorite protein shake, bar, or powder to your daily routine. While meat substitutes are easy to add to your routine, they do not typically contain enough protein to satisfy your total daily requirement. To supplement the fake meat in your diet, you will need to diversify.
Many protein supplements are best consumed for breakfast. With most people skipping breakfast anyway, a quick protein drink or bar is an easy way to get your morning boost and your protein. If youve tried different protein powders and bars and not been pleased, try a Slim Fast or Boost type drink. They taste like chocolate milk (or strawberry, vanilla, etc.), and they dont have the pastiness or heaviness of other protein products. Boost makes a High Protein drink that contains 15 grams of protein, which isnt exactly a steak, but makes for a nice and easy vegetarian breakfast.
Dont forget to vary your proteins. Most meat substitutes are made of soy. Try to therefore consume a protein product that includes whey as well. Many new vegetarians add egg white powder to protein smoothies they make. Remember, all the protein is in the yolk!
How to order at a restaurant the vegetarian way
Among the new habits you must develop as a vegetarian, you will need to re-learn how to order at a restaurant. Do not ask a wait person, for example, if they can recommend a vegetarian dish. Why?
Because vegetarian to some means no red meat, to others it means no chicken broth or lard. Instead, ask the wait person specifically for what you want. There is nothing worse than not asking for specifics and then being served something youre not going to eat. You will soon discover the best restaurants for your new diet in your area. Many restaurants now have vegetarian sections on their menus. Take advantage of these with the same caveats as above.
Always be prepared!
As a new vegetarian, you may find yourself over at a friends house at meal time with nothing to eat. You dont want your host to have to make you something special, so be prepared. Carry a jar of almonds, cashews, or peanuts in the car. They are high in protein, wont melt (like many protein bars), and dont have expiration dates. Having an alternative snack with you at all times will help you reduce temptations to have meat and fast food and will make eating away from home less stressful.

Ingredients:
Two hard-boiled organic or local eggs (optional if youre vegan or too impatient)
Organic bacon bits alternative
2 organic hearts of romaine
Organic shredded cheese or cheese alternative (your choice; either yellow or orange cheeses are great)
2 vegetarian breaded chicken patties
2 organic tomatoes
1 organic red pepper
Organic croutons
Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, thoroughly rinse romaine hearts, then pat them dry with a towel.
Tear off any brown areas to compost them, then bunch the romaine with your hand and cut it into horizontal slices, working from the tip to the butt. Repeat for second heart of romaine. Compost the butts.
Dice tomatoes and red peppers. Compost the tomato core and red pepper cap and innards. While youre chopping, reflect upon a quote from Thich Nhat Hanh: We have to eat happy eggs from happy chickens.
When the water boils, gently drop in eggs. Boil for three minutes or until theyre hard-boiled. Meanwhile, spread the sliced romaine hearts evenly between two plates. (This serves two, in case you havent already guessed.)
Cook the vegetarian chicken patties according to package directions, either in the microwave if youre super hungry and need to eat soon, or in the oven if you want them to be more crunchy. (Of course, if you cook them in the oven, make that the first step before boiling the eggs.) Cut the patties into slices when theyre done, then arrange the slices on each plate of romaine.
Rinse the eggs under cold water until theyre cool enough to handle. Chop the eggs, or use an egg slicer and pretend its your least favorite politicians head.
Sprinkle organic bacon bits alternative, cheese or cheese alternative, red peppers, tomatoes and croutons evenly onto each salad. Actually, dont do it evenly--sneak just a few more goodies onto your salad.
You can use pre-packaged organic croutons, or you may be able to find crunchy organic or local baguette chips that you can crumble onto the salad. And if youre in a pinch, you can simply crumble some organic crackers or tortilla chips that you may already have on hand.
The organic produce you use in this hearty salad is as limitless as your imagination. You can also try diced cucumber, shredded carrots, sugar snap peas--the list goes on and on.
This organic salad is really great with organic thousand island dressing. Or try mixing organic ranch and organic French dressing! Chow down!
