I went vegetarian recently and had trouble keeping my energy levels up. I am fit and have a very active lifestyle. I found the lentils really help in maintaining a balance diet. Great advice.

I agree that in a pinch, organic vegetables will generally provide the same nutrients as regular ones. However, be sure to wash every fruit and veggie before eating them! Typically I like to wash all of my produce as soon as I bring it home from the grocery store, so that is easy to grab when I'm pressed for time. Hope that helps! Hi Jessica:

She's a student and needs to save every penny and organic is a little more expensive. I told her that in terms of nutrients it's probably the same, but she'll probably consume more chemicals because of the pesticides. What do you recommend?

What do you recommend?

It sounds like vegan living has had a positive impact on your life. I agree though, having fun while doing it is one of the most important aspects. Glad to hear you are having fun and feeling great!
