What is the best way to become a vegetarian?

I have attempted before but failed, is there a way to ween yourself from meat and what should i eat to get the proterin that I need?

You should try turning vegetarian with a gradual process. Decide to not eat a certain food that includes meat every week or so and commit to that. It's easier when you concentrate on avoiding that only. Take smaller portions of any other meat you do end up eating so you can ease out of it eventually. It's much harder to stop eating something you constantly have cold turkey than it is something you have less and less.

While doing that, introduce more vegetarian food that you like to eat. Experiment a little with that and eventually you will find something you like. I also googled for a list of food you can eat that contain proteins and you can find some good ideas here: http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/protein.htm

Some people crave meat more than others for sure. It only took me a month to ween myself off. No struggle. No will power. I don't crave it or miss it. Some people ween themselves off for years. I think the ones that struggle are less likely to be successful. Be content to be a low-meat eater for awhile.

I had lost half my interest in meat after I had to start cooking it myself consistently after I moved out. I was less able to disassociate the meat from the animal. At this point, I am unable to disassociate. So there were a few years involved in my loss of interest.

get rid of all the meat and ask a doctor for help my sister loves meat and cant resist when she figured out she cant eat and digest meat she cried like a baby hahaha. kidding

Understand the theory how do all animals come from? How we come from? Is that necessary that we eat meats? Calm your soul afterall.

go to a place where they kill animals.then watch how they make it look all pretty in the nice packaging.

you could always eat 1

Just think that Meat is death cause it's something dead. Remember U are what U eat!
If U eat something dead aren't U eating Death?
It's a total myth that meat be protein! If it is it's dead protein! Read books from your local Library about becoming Vegetarian. There is a vegetable that has plenty of Iron and it's red too! Beets! Eat them, eat plenty of Fruit, and Cereal, beans and grains any other veggies.
Need a fake meat recipe? Mix Oatmeal, Wheatgerm, Seasoning, Light Soya Sauce into 14 oz of Canned pumpkin and form patties or balls or make false meat loaf! Cook in oil or grease loaf pan with vegetable oil! I prefer sunflower oil!

stop eating meat, thats probably the best way!

Phase meat out. Swear off red meats one month, then pork the next, then chicken, then seafood.

Well, I can't help you with protein sources, but vegetarians I know who love the taste of meat (I know that sounds strange) eat portobella mushrooms. You can grill it and eat it like a burger, cut it up for pasta, put it on pizza... many different things...

I prefer mine on a porterhouse steak (as I am not a vegetarian). But I have several friends that are...

stop eating meat

The Quorn range is the food I eat for protein.....

and failing means you must not want to be a veggie.

will power is really all you can do. my parents only let me be a vegetarian when I turned 16 so when I did stop eating meat it was hard. Any time I was tempted though I just imagined it was still alive and looking at me, weird I know but it worked, now I can't even stand the smell of chicken, my former favorite food.

i guess de best way is not to eat meat....but the most important thing you need is the determination or will power to reach ur goal...guess dats de main thing....if you have dat, feel you'll succeed in becoming one...

It also really depends where you are in your life, what your relationship to food is, your habits and how attached you are to them, what you like, whether you cook or like to cook, and why you want to be a vegetarian.

I think considering those questions might help you figure out the best way for you to start, or at least help you come up with questions that get more concrete answers.

Also, I would strongly recommend that you read some books 鈥?at least one- on becoming vegetarian. A good one to read is called 鈥?appropriately 鈥?Becoming Vegetarian. It is a very good one to get you started.

As far as how to become vegetarian. Realize that every industry you support when you consume meat, milk, eggs, or any any other animal product, supports the domination of other species. Realize the intelligence and sentience of the animals people choose to eat. Understand that cow's milk was not made for you, and that chicken eggs are just the menstral waste of a bird.
Once you understand that it is wrong to exploit animals for your own pleasure. You will easily find information and others willing to help you realize the great food that awaits you minus the meat, cheese, eggs so many think they can't live without.

I f you want to be a vegetarian the best idea is to replace meat with a lot of protein like nuts, peanut butter, and eggs. Also watch one of PETA's videos about meat I was a major meat eatter until I watched "Meet your meat" I said no to meat as soon as I got done watching that video. So sad:(

In my opinion, the best way to get protein when you are a vegetarian is to eat Quorn. Quorn is made from a protein (Mycoprotein) so you get a sufficient amount from that.
Plus it is the nearest thing to meat, and it tastes good. It is widely available and comes in many different forms.

Beans are a very good source of protien, and fiber.

It is a success in fact of your attempt! (Not a failure at all)!

If a person don't try in the first place then he or she have always being a failure...

Of cause firstly, you may want to identify your cause to become a vegetarian.

Is is of health, personal or religious reasons? Cause these are 3 main reasons to think of.

Is it you have perceive the value of lives (animal and mankind alike?) Is it you found out something that related to killing of animals are wrong? If that is the case, it is most admirable and I think I should salute you!

Being vegetarian doesn't make you mal-nourished. If that is the case, all meat eaters would live and all vegetarians in this world would die.....

Cheer up! You already taken up your first step in kindful to living beings already.. Find more friends who are vegetarians and mix with them. I think that is the rule to cook one of your first purely vegetarian meal for the week.

By the way, human tongue need 1-2 weeks to adjust to new taste. Likewise to people who use to take very salty or sweet food, it takes around this timeframe. After this, they find their usual food too salty, sweet or even stinks when they smell it at a distance.

All the best!!!
