Vegetarian Diet
Posted on Monday, July 4, 2011 in Healthy Eating
How do you switch from a “conventional” diet to vegetarian?
The obvious answer is to stop eating meat. I want to know what others have bought to adjust themselves and their families to a vegetarian diet. Is there an easy way to make that transition?
It was very difficult for me to switch to a vegetarian diet. Although I was repulsed by the smell and looks of meat, I craved it for two years, but once I bought it I couldn’t eat it. I ate the tofu, which I still don’t like, and the fake meat, which is still bad, but nothing stopped the cravings. Over time the cravings stopped and I no longer think of meat as food. There really is no good answer, just keep a good variety of pasta, squash, fresh veggies, and lots of fruit on hand. Cook like you always do, just don’t add the hamburger or chicken to the pasta or stew. Making soups is easy, and making a large salad that you can keep in the refrigerator so that all you have to do is dish out a serving at a time helps. When making a salad, cut down on the lettuce and add more of the veggies to keep it interesting, and don’t use the ice-burg lettuce. It has almost no nutrition compared to the red leaf or butter lettuce. Buy an electric steamer so that steaming veggies is easy to do. I buy the 20 lbs. bags of rice, and keep several kinds of pasta and beans so that I always have a variety of foods to choose from. If it’s on hand and easy to make, your going to be more willing to cook it. Good luck and remember, beef stays in your colon for 2 weeks. Sorry, had to say that.
