How to become a vegetarian?

Question

I love fruits and vegetables already, but the only meats I like are shrimp, crab, and steak. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables every day but I want to try being a vegetarian for once. I've tried before and any time we'll be at a restaurant or something, I'll read the menu and see something with steak or something and then I change my mind. How can I become a complete vegetarian without wanting meats?

That's great you're interested in going veg and it really helps that you like fruits and vegetables! What's your motivation for becoming vegetarian? If it's to prevent animal suffering, then watch some videos of how cows and other animals are abused on factory farms and slaughterhouses. (You can think of the images when you want to eat meat.) This is a good site and video: http://www.goveg.com/factoryFarming.asp

If you're concerned about your health or the environment, read about the way vegetarian diets are beneficial in those areas.

It also helps to find some delicious fake meats to use in your favorite meals and recipes. Nate's Meatless Meatballs are really good... here's a list of other popular products: http://www.vegcooking.com/guide-favs.asp

If you know you're going to be eating at a restaurant with very few vegetarian options, you could eat some fake meat at home.... hopefully then you wouldn't crave meat at the restaurant.

dont cut it out suddenly and completely right away, just slowly eat less and less. like get a smaller steak, and look for other menu items that dont have meat. it can be really hard, but im sure you can fight it if you really want to. just slowly..
