Answer 1

You will want to start by eating vegetables on a daily basis. Cut red meat out of your diet completely and try to eat fish and chicken. After a while with that, cut all meats out of your diet and eat more fruits and veggies. Remember to take a vitamin supplement if you are not getting the vitamins you need.

Answer 2

I would suggest keep trying new foods and vegetables. When I first went vegetarian I hated all vegetables besides, corn, broccoli and carrots. Over time my tastes changed and I began to like more veggies.

I also found that I like most vegetables cooked a certain way(lightly steamed), and if they are over cooked I do not like the taste. You should see if you like your veggies cooked a certain way.

Some times it takes me eating the same vegetable numerous times before I actually like it. Most recently I found out I like zucchini, which I had tried before a few times and hated it. Taste change over time, so keep trying.

Vegetables and other foods I have added to my favorite list since becoming vegetarian... cauliflower, green beans, chickpeas, spinach, squash, mushrooms, peppers, onions, watermelon, cantaloupe, red grapes, etc. All these foods I didn't like and it took a few times and different ways of preparing to finally enjoy them. Now it is not uncommon for me to eat green beans, or cauliflower as a snack.

You may be a picky eater, but you should put that aside and at what you need to stay healthy. If you want to become a vegetarian, you will need to incorporate vegetables into your diet.
