I don't know what to eat. I read this thing where it said your allowed to eat/drink dairy and eggs. I don't think I could just STOP eating meat, unless I like slowly take myself away from it. What should I do? And What's good to eat?

    There are so many things. There are some free books too. I didn't think I was going to be able to quit either. I quit cold turkey though. Slowly stoppping meat is very bad because then you say well i want more and I'll quit tomorrow and then you never do .Peta has a lot of great tips too. Also what helped me to stop is going to www.youtube.com and typeing in slaughter house and watching the videos. If you can hold out long enough being a vegetarian then the next time you try meat it won't digest very well.

    Hope this helps.

    Green beans

    Waxed beans

    Yellow poataoes


  2. You can eat anything that doesn't contain meat. Vegetarianism is a lifestyle choice, so don't think of it as being "allowed" to eat only certain foods. Eat what you want.

    If you can't quit straight up, take it slow. Every week cut off a night of eating meat until you can go without it. Or use meat substitutes if you want (Boca is good, Morningstar is better, Amy's Kitchen is best).

    I also use potatoes and portabello mushrooms to replace dead animals in many of my meals.

    What's good to eat? Every kind of fruit and vegetable, grains, rice, nuts, beans, etc.

    There are so many resources online to look at, or you could go to a bookstore and look up vegetarian cookbooks.

  3. Well, it's wise to do it gradually, changing your diet drastically is not good for your body. Try eating only white meats first, then only seafood (at this point you're a pescetarian), then vegetarian. Tofu is great.

  4. Lacto- refers to milk and ovo- refers to eggs, so yes, lacto-ovo-vegetarians eat eggs and dairy.  Lacto-vegetarians eat milk but not eggs, and ovo-vegetarians eat eggs but not milk.  Total vegetarians and vegans eat neither.

    In theory, a list could be made of the food a lacto-ovo-veg can eat, but it would be ten miles long and still wouldn't be complete.  It's really not limiting at all.  Every meal you can possibly think of can be made vegetarian by eliminating or replacing the meat.  Faux meat products are an easy way to make the transition because you can use the same recipes/meal plans that you're used to and just have a veggie burger instead of a beef patty, for example.  Beyond that, the best idea is to get a couple of good vegetarian cookbooks and try a bunch of new recipes.

    You probably COULD just stop eating meat altogether if you wanted.  I made the decision to go vegetarian in the space of an hour and haven't had a bite of meat since (that was 21 years ago.)  But, if you want to make it a transition, try cutting out red meat first, then poultry, then seafood.  But don't just eat more chicken because you're not eating beef; you're not learning anything that way.  Instead, if you now eat beef twice a week, replace those meals with vegetarian meals so you're working your way up to going veg and learning what you like.

    I always recommend using the change in diet as an opportunity to brush up on your nutritional knowledge.  "(The New) Becoming Vegetarian" by Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina is an excellent resource.
