So you want to become a vegetarian, you're ready to leave meat behind. Congratulations! You'll find vegetarianism to be a healthy change in your life. Right now, you might be anxious to start being a vegetarian, but are faced with a very simple question - how do I do it? While the answer might sound simple enough (stop eating meat), we know old habits die hard. So here's seven steps to make the switch.
1. Have a big enough why, and you can conquer any how. Start by answering a simple question: why do I want to become a vegetarian? Becoming a vegetarian is a paradigm change in how you'll live your life, so you will need a strong driving force behind it.
2. Learn. Start finding and absorbing material explaining what vegetarianism is all about. Start searching for recipes you might be interested in doing.
3. Slow and steady wins the race. A change in diet is nothing more than a change in habit. Don't go trying to eliminate all meat from your diet starting tomorrow if you know you either 1) can't do it or 2) can't maintain it. But if you know you can go cold shoulder, then go for it. I know I did.
4. Substitution. Start replacing the meat dishes with vegetarian meals. Instead of eating that cheeseburger, eat a veggie burger with 2 slices of soy cheese. I strongly suggest you at least start replacing and phasing away all red meats.
5. The meat sabbath. Choose any day of the week you are most comfortable with and make that a vegetarian only day. Commit to eating vegetables, grains, fruits, nuts and no meat. Soon you'll be comfortable expanding those meatless days throughout the days of the week till all seven days are meat-free.
6. Your circle of friends. The company you keep has a great influence on you. Start filling your circle friends with vegetarians. They're very friendly people. Being in contact with them will spur you to stay on course to becoming a vegetarian. - 24553
