I have decided that I'm going to try and wean myself off all meat except fish and seafood. I'm a diabetic so I'm hoping it will help me with that also

So any tips on where to find cookbooks for a beginner and one for diabetics would b helpful. I could also use tips on,how to fight the cravings for meat.

Any input will b appreciated

I think your decision is awesome !!!!!! It's the healthiest way to go. You know all heart disease, cancer and diabetes, are the result of bad nutrition!!!! . May I suggest you read the book The China Study, by T. Collin Campbell.
This is my first year to eat less meat and diary. It is a process...One meal at a time.....

i am not vegan or vegetarian, but love this thread for a few reasons.
In this passed year, i have made many changes to my eating, and i have really started developing a very healthy relationship with food. Since i have been abstinent from sugar and my binge foods, i find myself craving new, healthy & delicious foods which were foods i wouldn't even attempt trying in the past.

The only meats i do eat are chicken, turkey, fish & seafood.
No beef, pork, etc. They've never agreed with me anyway. i do love my milk, eggs, etc though.

i have been trying so many vegetables that are new to me, and loving it. In fact, it's what i crave now, instead of the binge foods which is new & exciting to me.. So loving this thread, the recipes, tips and conversation and so many different things i would love to try.. Always looking for new ways to healthy up my eating & creating pretty, colorful dishes!
