I’m 16 and I wanna become a vegetarian but I can’t resist meat. I love, love, love animals so that’s why I wanna become one. It’s gonna be hard to give up meat. All of the ready to eat things at my house are meat products and for dinner we’ll just have like pork cops or something like that with no veggies. I need help.

I went from eating tons of meat to no animal products at all in one day. I was sitting down eating some chicken, and then up popped some thing on the television about meat being flesh. I mean I knew it was flesh but for whatever reason referring to the meat as flesh just repulsed me. If you sit down and really try to visualize where exactly the cut of meat comes from on an animal before you eat it and the torture that animal probably went through, if you have a consicence at all you’ll probably lose your appetite quite quickly. Like when I was eating the chicken drumstick, I referred to it as a leg then I thought of my leg being cut off, breaded, fried and sold on a platter to another person…turned me off animals right quick.
I’m no longer a vegan, but I am still a vegetarian (as in I do not eat animals period…as in no fish/seafood/meat/poultry). But I still use milk products like certain cheeses and yougurt and eggs occasionally.
Try eating the soy meat products first as a way to wean yourself off meat. You still get the meaty taste while still being a veggie that way.
Also check out some vegetarian books and websites, plenty of them detail how to become a vegetarian. And how to deal with menu planning for the week. You also might want to offer to go grocery shopping from now in, if you want to be in control of what you eat.
Good luck, and best wishes!
Talk to the people that supply you with this meat…
i’ m sixteen to, and i became a vegetarian sometime last year or so, and used to loveeee meat. but just keep watching those animal abuse, cruelty clips/movies/documentary’s, and i swear, you would not want to touch meat EVER.
i know, cause thats how i become vegetarian..and plus most of my friends are vegan/vegetarian.
good luck!!
STEP ONE – Don’t eat me.
talk to your parents maybe they will support you.
If you’re going to become a vegetarian, you’ll have to do it for yourself – don’t think that anybody is going to be running to help, as it’s a personal choice.
If you want veggies at dinner, ask whoever is the cook. If they won’t make them, you’ll have to go do it yourself – even if it means buying them and preparing them yourself.
stop eating meat! lol and if its so hard ask your mom and dad to buy you stuff so that you have something else to eat besides meat… good luck!
Simple, if you want to take it as in a easy way, then, you have to avoid meat and struggle yourself by not eating meat, then surprisingly, you get used to it by not eating meat, but if you want to take it as in a hard & fast way, watch a couple of animal abuse video, ugh, I saw a couple of dog & cat massacre, it was really horrible, that is why I want to be a vegetarian. I’m a pescetarian, technically.
P.S. pescetarian means that a vegetarian who eat fish.
If you’re not eating fruits and vegetables already, you aren’t a very healthy omnivore.
If you "can’t" resist meat, then you’re pretty much screwed. It kind of takes cutting out dead animals and their parts to be vegetarian.
Your parents have a responsibility to feed you well. That includes having fruits and vegetables in the house, whether you’re eating meat along with them or not.
I’m trying to become vegetarian also, or at least eat less meat. I love my seafood and meats too, though! After you watch or read about what they do to animals before they become our food…ugh it’s terrible and disgusting. But after years of eating meat it certainly is a hard habit to break.
Every time you go for those pork chops, or turkey slices (or whatever) just think about how that animal might have suffered and the conditions it lived in. If you slip up some that’s ok, just take it one day at a time! You can also experiment with different meat substitutes – like veggie burgers. I haven’t personally tried any, but one brand out there has to be good.
I suggest you make sure you always have frozen vegetables in the freezer. Easy is definitely a big factor in what I make to eat. Frozen vegetables can be heated up in the microwave and ready to eat in just a few minutes. Also, you can buy Success rice in a bag(brown) that you just stick in a bowl of water for 10 minutes in the microwave. Easy and fast!
I successfully avoided meat all day today. Try something like low sugar cereal, or oatmeal with fruit in the morning. Fruit, nuts, or other healthy foods for snacks. For lunch and dinner eat lots of vegetables and things like brown rice, and healthy pastas. Remember to eat beans and/or nuts&seeds because you still need some protein, just not from meat. One day at a time!
It can be, especially if you hold yourself to too high a standard. But the important thing is to make changes you feel comfortable with, at your own pace. While reducing your consumption of animal products completely may be ideal, any reduction is a step in the right direction. The vegan lifestyle is an ongoing progression. Everyone should go at their own pace and remember that all steps towards veganism are positive. It is most important to focus on avoiding the products for which animals are bred and slaughtered. Animal by-products will exist as long as there is a demand for primary meat and dairy products. When it comes to avoiding items that contain small amounts of by-products, vegans must decide for themselves where to draw the line. Some vegans will adjust their level of abstinence according to the circumstances. For example, as a consumer, you might make sure the bread you buy is not made with whey; but as a dinner guest, you may accept bread without asking to see the ingredients. These types of compromises can actually hasten the spread of veganism, in that they help counter the attitude that it’s very hard to be vegan.
