How would you start a vegetarian diet?

If you wanted to slowly cut out meats from your days?

What meat would you start with?

What recipes could you use?How would you start a vegetarian diet?
.Try one recipe a week. My suggestion is just to try one new vegetarian recipe a week. If you like it, add it to your collection of staple recipes that you eat on a regular basis. If the recipe isn鈥檛 that great, try another next week. Soon, you鈥檒l have a good list of 5-10 great recipes that you love to cook and eat. And really, whether you鈥檙e vegetarian or meat eater, that鈥檚 probably all you really eat on a regular basis anyway (for dinner, at least). Most people only have 7-10 recipes that they cook regularly. Once you have that many vegetarian recipes, you are good to go.



Substitutions. Also try your regular recipes that you love, but instead of using meat, use a meatless substitute. So if you love to eat spaghetti or chili, for example, substitute a ground-beef alternative from Bocca or Morning Star and just cook it the way you normally would. There are alternatives for just about any kind of meat, and some of them are quite good. You can go on eating what you normally eat, but meatless.



Then the other meats. After a couple of weeks of going without red meat, try cutting out pork for a couple of weeks. Then cut out chicken, the seafood. With this two-week approach (and you can even make it 3 weeks or a month for each stage if you want to go more slowly), you鈥檒l hardly notice the difference.

An easy way to become a vegetarian is to cut the biggest meat, (such as steak) SLOWLY from your diet because if you just cut it off, you'll be craving meat more that not cutting it off.

Start by tasty but vegetarian plates such as pasta, salad, veggie burgers, etc. etc.
