How to eliminate meat from your diet the safe and healthy way!
Steps
Start by eliminating red (more fatty) meat. Eat one last meal with beef, etc. in it and then stick to your promise to not eat red meat anymore.
Wait a week and eliminate pork from your diet, again repeating the 'one last meal.'
Wait two to three weeks and eliminate chicken from your diet.
After a month to two months eliminate any fish products (crab, fish, shrimp, lobster.)
Be sure to substitute plenty of cheese, dairy, legumes, nuts, and soy into your diet. Experiment with Tofu, hummus, and different kinds of cheeses.
Tips
Consult your doctor before becoming a vegetarian, especially if you have digestive or stomach problems.
Try Indian vegetarian foods. India has the largest population of completely vegetarian people in the world, so they know. Majority of the Indian dishes are not spicy or strong and there are literally hundreds of vegetarian dishes which are way better than just salads. Veggies will obviously taste bad if you don't cook them with something!
Start going to more Indian, Thai, Chinese, or Japanese resturants, as they tend to have more selections available for vegetarians.
Most restaurants will prepare food without meat when requested.
Salad becomes your best friend, but remember to try new things! Don't stray away because it's foreign or "weird" looking, you never know what might be really good!
Buy a vegetarian cookbook.
Be sure to exercise and balance your diet with plenty of carbs, vitamins, protein, etc.
There is a meat-free product called Quorn, which makes chicken patties, nugges, and beef products. It tastes a lot like meat. It's made from fungus (not as gross as you think) and is simply great. Try it out!
Warnings
Avoid any meat after a few months of being a vegetarian, it will make you sick!
