I like meat, but I’d almost ALWAYS being willing to trade in a New York Strip for a killer salad or a spiced up tofu dish.

Will going vegetarian help with weight loss if I almost always eat lean meat anyway?

Has anyone gone vegetarian and lost weight whether that was reason for cutting out meat or not?

Does anyone have any tips on how to stop being a vegetarian?

I need to ‘convert’ from vegetarianism, and start eating meat.

I’m 18 and I’ve been brought up as a strict vegetarian. I tried to eat meat the other night for the first time(chicken dippin’ from pizza hut), and it tasted ok- but not more than 20 minutes later I became really ill and threw it all back up again. ( on someone I liked, actually. )

It’s for a foreign exchange placement, and I really want this, I just don’t want to seem fussy and rude. The people I’m going to be placed with do not understand vegetarianism.

The Riddler asked:


I’ve been a vegetarian (including no poultry or seafood or eggs, unless they’re in cookies and cake and stuff. Also, I’m not vegan) since I was born 17 years ago. If I wanted to stop being one and try some meat, how do I go about doing so? Will it have critical effects on my body? Will I get sick if I eat meat? Should I start eating meat slowly? Or can I just go out and have a large juicy streak? How should I stop being a vegetarian?

Yes, my parents are vegetarians, and so are their parents, and I’m sure they can trace ir back several generations….

@skinny
I probably won’t completely stop, but I don’t want to die without ever having tried a hot dog and whatnot.

Thank you for your concern. I understand where you’re coming from, but the food chain is real. It’s not something that people who eat meat make up for their reason for eating meat. But don’t worry, I’ll try not to eat meat on a regular basis. I just want to try it. Nothing wrong with that. I will try to be stay mostly vegetarian, but only because of the horrid treatment of animals in the meat industry, not because they have to die.

I dont’ eat red meat, mostly just chicken, fish and turkey, but what is really beneficial of being totally vegetarian?

LeftyGrove asked:


My mom didn’t approve of my switch to become a vegetarian six months ago, and plans to give me a list of articles to read about why vegetarianism is unhealthy/negative in general. I would like to give her some articles back for her to read, as she is a little closed-minded about it, in my opinion. Any arguments or articles that highlight the positive aspects of being a vegetarian out there? I could use anything from environmental issues to morals to health issues. Thanks!

Valerie H asked:


So I’m not a vegetarian. But I am a huge supporter of funds and associations like the WWF (World Wildlife Fund). My brother says I’m being a hypocrite. He says if I really loved the animals, then I would stop eating meat. Is this true? Do you have to be vegetarian to want to save endangered species and whatnot?

i was before, but it didnt exactly work out.
SO i want to go back to it because im starting
to get more involved with it again. OK so the reason I quit

this really gross stuff that i hardly believe anyone would eat
and i know they do make vegetarian foods that are tasty.

Beeg asked:


I have been a vegetarian for two years now. During that time i have educated myself by reading many vegan how to books and many vegan recipe cook books. I have attempted to become vegan but in the end i always failed. I believe it was because i was still living at home with my parents and attending high school. Now, I am living in my own apartment and starting my first year of college, how can i transition from being vegetarian to being a vegan. I have read all the books and seen all the websites I just want to hear some advice from people who have accomplished this goal. Any advice and information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
mookiemonkee thank you so much you made a great point!

I mean like actually being made fun of. I did, and that was the reason why I gave up being vegetarian. I wish I could of been stronger though.
Maybe I was a b*tch dude, but whatever.

I’ve been a vegetarian for 6 months now, and I was wondering if being a vegetarian can make your blood sugar lower. My mom thinks so. She was a vegetarian for 7 years, and she had low blood sugar.
