Advice for going vegetarian?

I have tried several times to go vegetarian, but it never works. My problem is that I have just been cutting out meat, and not replacing it with other forms of protein. I am the only one in my house that is wanting to go veg., and I find it difficult to plan meals for one, without veggies going to waste in my fridge, and without spending too much, and without eating the same thing over and over.

Any help?Advice for going vegetarian?
well. what your doing wrong, i think, is planning not planning ahead. i'm vegan and im 13 and i have to make my own meals and both my parents eat meat so yea its pretty hard being the only one in the family. your not gonna get much protein from vegetables and being vegetarian does mean you have to eat veggies but not just that. try having tofu or fake meat. beans are good and tofu with rice or tofu fried in sesame oil with spaghetti is good to. dont worry about it. just go with the flow!

I'm also the only full-time vegetarian in my house. Learn to love your freezer. Frozen veggies won't rot in your freezer. Big pots of soup can have the rest frozen for other meals. Frozen servings of tofu actually get a meatier texture. The freezer is my best friend.
going vegetarian is like quitting smoking.. you have too gradually step down from it... if u just cut out meat cold turkey ur body will have crazy craving for meat, and u will give into temptation before u know it.. try to plan out your meals before you go shopping so u know exactly what you need for the week.. with fresh fruits and veggies i always just get a weeks worth, some ppl get 3 days then go get more and so on.. just try different things don't set limitations on what foods can and cant go together.. do beans, rice, pastas, there is soy products that are really gud... if there is an Adventist church near you ask some one there directions to where they purchase there soy products and they are frozen and big bang for your buck....

just take it one day at a time... if your having a really bad craving and u just have to have that cheese burger or chicken sand. then have it.. its totally normal when we are transitioning our diets... you know the ark wasn't built in a day... don't beat ur self up over it... gud luck to you!
Make bean burritos. They are pretty much the cheapest meal you can make, they are very filling, full of protein and delicious.



Chili, quinoa and homemade veggie burgers are great too.
its really all about motivation hun .. some people (like me 4 years ago) think its a neat idea to be veg, but just not practical. then one day i just woke up and couldnt eat christmas dinner %26amp; haven`t had meat since.



i`ve seen a TON of my friends ``go veg`` because they `felt so bad for the animals`or some bullsh*t but they never meant it. they were veg for max a month. but didn`t eat right at all.



becoming vegetarian is suchh an adventure - everyone makes fun of you, EVERYONE asks WHY WHY WHY, EVERYONE says `MMM BACON, HAVE SOME!!` . . the list goes on.



you have to assess why you want to be vegetarian... is it because of animal welfare.. or your own personal health concerns .. or environmental factors .. or something else.. or a combination of all of them. whatever it is, that reason is bigger than `your desire`to just fall back on the easiness %26amp; convenience of eating meat. you can`t keep going back to meat because it is convenient.



if you find it too hard, its just not the right time for you to `switch over`(haha) .. but if you really want to be vegetarian (and heck, y woulndntya) you`ll succeed.



good luck hun!
