Easier way to becoming a vegetarian


One of my co-workers and I were talking and she told me she was a vegan. I told her that at some point in my life I wanted to try to become a vegetarian, but I didn’t know where to start because it would be really hard for me. She gave me some useful tips that could get me started on the path of a vegetarian.

She told me to start with going on a Mediterranean Diet. It consists of not eating any red meat. She told me that red meat is said to be bad for your body and that is all the meat that is processed. I eat mostly chicken, so I figure if I start doing this it won't be as hard as it would seem. Next, she told me to move to a vegetarian to cut out all meats including chicken. She said that being a vegetarian is not as hard as it seems. If you like vegetables and fruits, then it can be a healthier start for your body.

She actually is a vegan, and I don't believe I could ever be a vegan. After she was a vegetarian, she went to become a vegan. She said she loves being a vegan. I asked her if she notices a change in her body, and how does it feel? She said that she has so much more energy now, and she feels healthier. I hope someday to become a vegetarian even if I just try it. I know when I eat unhealthy food, like fast food it is not good for my body.

So if you want to become a vegetarian start off slow and work your way up. I am going to try within the year to cut out all red meat. Wish me good luck!
