How Difficult Was it to Transition?

VeggieLover

I’ve reduced the amount of meat I eat, but I’d like to eliminate it from my diet altogether. How difficult was it for everyone to make the transition to vegetarianism? Do you ever find yourself craving meat, and if so, how do you deal with that?

I think you’re doing the right thing. I went vegetarian and cut meat out of my diet cold turkey (pun intended), and it was rough at the beginning. For your next step, start eliminating meat from your diet one at a time. Start with beef. Don’t eat beef for 30 days. After 30 days is up, cut another meat out of your diet. Keep going in this fashion until you are no longer eating meat.

I too went cold turkey, but I agree with Holly it was a little rough especially as I was eating way more than I needed because I thought I needed to in order to stay healthy.

After awhile of not eating meat it starts to feel like second nature, I had no urges for any meats but your experience will probably vary… Feel free to ask any questions. 🙂
