Okay so I want to become Vegetarian
Every time i eat red meat i feel like im about to puke or get disgusted and sick while eating it which causes me to stop
the problem is that I come from a My mom always cooks food that has red meat on it. Sometimes she would cook just veggie pasta but thats sometime when i ask for it. And everytime i try i always loose track and eat some.
So far what im trying to do is to just eat either chicken and fish but like i said its hard
Do you guys have any tips on how it can transfer to being vegetarian ? or any websites that have vegetarian recepies?
(DISCLAIMER:I know eating chicken and fish is not considered vegetarian. Its just for now till i transfer to it nice and slow XD)

Step #4: don't confuse "stop eating meat" with "eating healthier" as they are not one and the same0 -
Step #5: buy and cook your own meals and stop blaming your parents.

Plus, she is looking for help/advice so if you don't have anything constructive to say, what are you doing in this thread?
Oh, and OP try to pick up the cook book from "Forks over Knives" as it has lots of super yummy recipes that even my family enjoys. They are also super simple too, which everyone like0 -
Step 6: try other cuts of meat and/or other meat recipes after researching vegetarianism. because it's a challenge but doable. However, if your only issue is gag (not moralistic), you might just not be that into meat. It might be cooked to a temp you are not a fan of, or a manner you are not crazy about.0

And yes, I had a friend that went vegetarian....she eventually had to give it up because she became severely anemic. I know some very fat and unhealthy vegans and vegetarians.0 -
Step number 7 or 8 but probably 9 or 10 by the time I'm done writing this....while you look into other meat recipes to see if you actually like meat, try to avoid any scary articles when researching vegetarianism that are anti meat. Try to make your decisions on how to proceed objectively.0

I like you. :happy:0 -
I've been a vegetarian all my life. I can help you with recipies
Do you like Indian food?
Quick fixes: falafel wraps, salads, sandwiches, curry+rice, soups, noodles
PS: I must add that I am not anaemic. No one in my all veg family is anaemic. You need to include a lot of green vegetables in your diet. You will be fine.0 -
edited: to remove sarcasm (which wasn't helpful).
OP: maybe do some dietary research into vegetarianism from a website more specific to your questions: "The Vegetarian Society", or "The Vegan Society":

I can also help with ideas/recipies/diet if interested. Good luck!0

Step 11. Move thread to Food and Nutrition.
Unless vegetarianism is some exciting new kind of workout.0 -
This is very good advice! Last May I decided to go pescatarian. I thought I was doing really well until one morning while waiting for one of my daughters to come out of the bathroom, I passed out. I have never passed out before and it freaked me out. I would love to try it again but now I have the fear of passing out.Step 3: Research how to meet all your macro's as a vegetarian.0

See, that should have been step 1. Or, even prior to step 1. A pre-step, if you will.0 -
1. In.
2. Has anyone compiled the current step list? I had trouble keeping track of the numbers and want to ensure we're all working with the same current list.0 -

I nominate Jof to compile the list. It seems to be a task that would suit his skills.
Any objections?

cook/prepare your own meals. or offer to cook something for the whole family that's vegetarian if you have the time. I was a vegetarian all through high school and i cooked most of my own everything.
make friends with beans/legumes and nuts (and optional dairy) for your protein needs.
it's completely do-able, and there are so many resources now. find a cookbook or website that excites you and get cooking!
I've recently rediscovered this giant cookbook i have by deborah madison "the vegetarian cookbook for everyone" and i'm loving it. "the moosewood cookbook" is another classic. and i really like theppk.com (vegan recipes), you can always sub in some dairy in the recipes if you don't want to go vegan. her (isa chandra moskowitz) cookbooks have lots of great basic tips too.0 -
Do some research on Vegetarianism.
There are a lot of resources. China Study is very interesting- but kinda Nerdy :bigsmile:
Movie on Netflix- Forks over knives- gives you a good picture of what meat is doing to our bodies. They do talk about the fat vegetarians too- If you dont eat a variety of veggies...that will happen. Its easy to carb load on a vegetarian diet. If you decide to go vegetarian for health reasons- or preference just know people will ALWAYS talk about why they eat meat. They will say...ugh I cant live without meat...or something along that line. Be true to yourself and your own belief regaurdless of why you choose to fuel your body how you do- never justify it to another.
**B12 supplements are easy to find...I suggest taking them if you decide to go vegetarian and exclude chicken and fish.0
