Start learning how to make some good meals without meat, and make a point to eat vegetarian one or two nights a week. When you start having favorite dishes, and learn to cook some good vegetarian sources of protein, increase to 3 or 4 nights a week. Once you’re used to eating vegetarian about half the time, make meat something you only eat occasionally, or cut out certain kinds of meat completely. Hopefully not long after this you’ll hit a point where you think, you know I just don’t think I need meat anymore.
I did it in baby steps, like you!
Gave up meat first, stuck to fish, a week later gave that up and had a bit of seafood, then never looked back.
To be honest, the tuna and prawns I had in the meantime gave me horrid belly aches because I was already adjusting to the meat free diet.
11 years later, no lapses, no cravings x
Study tapes of babies walking then try and walk that way down to the veggie section of your neighborhood grocery store.
eat vegetables now and then…
Go without meat every few days. Say Mon-Tues eat meat and Wed don’t. Then go to three times a week and then never eat it. Make sure you’re eating a lot of veggies even if you don’t like them. Most veggies for me were an acquired taste. Also try tofu. The easiest way to transition is getting meat replacements.
I am a vegetarian and there are a lot of alternatives, soya, quorn, Linda Maccartney and realeat.
Whatever works for you. Eat meat one day, don’t eat it the next. Then when you feel ready, eat it every two, three, four, five, six days, etc. Keep a note of it on your calender.
Go from meat, to poultry, to fish, then no meat, eat peanut butter for protein. If you read a book called The Jungle, you can see how disgusting meat packing plants were and that might gross you into giving up meat. If meat is hard to transition from, try just lunch meat and just cutting off like red meat. Watch some videos of what they do to animals. You know, they are cutting down the Amazon to build farms to raise cattle for fast food chains. Just look at those facts and It might help. I am trying to be a vegetarian and I can honestly say I quickly passed the turkey without even wanting to take a piece. Good Luck!
Slowly remove meat from your diet, because its unhealthy to quickly deprive your body to something its used to having. First cut out red meats, but keep eating white meat. After a week of that, eat LESS white meat, but still eat fish. The next week, cut out white meat and eat less fish, but start eating tofu. The next week, cut out fish, and your a vegetarian.
Best luck, Im going strong for 8 months now
If you’re not 100% sure i wouldn’t bother. Sounds strange sinse I’m a veg. myself but if your not sure about it you won’t stick to it. Personally though i would just go for it, theres no easy way to do it.
stop eating meat like beef and chicken ex. first after you have that down start looking at the ingredient’s in other food and if it has meat don’t eat it good luck
Try cutting it where you can sometimes. Like if you are going to have lasagna, make it the way you always do, just skip the meat. Still need the meat texture in there? Add something like Morningstar Crumbles. Skip the pepperoni pizza and get a slice of plain or something with veggies on it instead. You’ll satisfy your pizza craving still. You don’t want to deprive yourself of the pizza altogether because then it will never work. Start experimenting with the different brands of meat substitutes out there. See which ones you like. They’re good for that meat craving so you don’t eat it when you really don’t want to.
