A super cool post by Jacqui about our month of mostly-vegetarianism and what she learned. Touches on subjects such as:

You’ll lose a ton of weight when you ditch the meat!
You won’t have to count your calories, at least.
But, but… vitamins! Won’t you die of lack of B12 if you don’t eat meat?
You won’t get enough protein.
You’ll save money!
You’ll crave meat.
THE GARDEN
and more!

Really, you should read it. It’s been great and I’ve eaten a lot better than I have (not that I wasn’t eating really good before. I definitely feel like its a lot easier to manage my weight (instead of zipping up and down 2-5lbs each week) and I’ve felt just as energetic—I ran a freakin’ 5k in nearly a record time (for me).
