How to become a vegetarian ... again. by alynnhouse

"This is a critical component of what makes me 'me,' and I can't believe I ever let anyone take it away from me."

How I did it: I just stopped eating meat. Again. Cold turkey (no pun intended)! As a result, I lost a ton of weight that I had gained as a result of stress, inactivity, poor eating practices, and eating meat. I also just FEEL better, and I know that this is a common assertion amongst vegetarians, but I feel lighter and fuller without feeling sluggish when I eat. It also has forced me to eat more vegetables and lean proteins (nuts, eggs, etc.) so I not only LOOK healthier, I FEEL healthier too!

Lessons & tips: When I first became vegetarian, I did so with one of my best friends. It's GREAT to have that support when you're just starting out. I would highly recommend it.

congrats!!

Alright, let me state I’m not a vegetarian, I still eat fish and seafood, but as I’ve cut the rest of it out I know what you mean about feeling better… compared to that feeling I don’t miss eating it, plus any lasting cravings went away a while ago… you know, like with other unhealthy addictions. But then again I made poor choices in that area as well, it’s just easy to.
