Before deciding to become a "vegetarian", you should read all you can about it, especially what foods to eat. Educate yourself & then you'll know which way to go. May I recommend "veggie burgers?" I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat them all the time. Look for them in the frozen foods section.
Anything soy based!!! Go to target and they have this stuff in the milk section that is milk, but it's soy based! It is the vanilla flavor and has / the calories, fat of regular milk!! Also, hyvee is a great place to shop for veggie diets!! Don't forget to take your vitamins to get your protein!!
Make sure you get your protein by eating lots of beans and soy, if you like it. Soy nuts & edamame are great.
Also, not sure where you live, but if you have Trader Joe's stores there, they have tons of stuff suitable for vegetarians. Vegetarian corn dogs, veggie burgers, frozen meals like pad thai with tofu, hummus, falafel...
No meat.
Pastas, wheat, lots of fruits and veggies.
Yum :]
try and eat a lot of nuts, seeds and kernels in addition to fruit and vegetables to make sure you get enough protein. Tofu is also a good substitute for meat in main dishes
Anything but meat, but it depends on what kind of vegetarian you are:
1) Pescatarian (also spelled pescetarian)
The word “pescatarian” is occasionally used to describe those who abstain from eating all meat and animal flesh with the exception of fish. Although the word is not commonly used, more and more people are adopting this kind of diet, usually for health reasons or as a stepping stone to a fully vegetarian diet.
2) Flexitarian/Semi-vegetarian
You don’t have to be vegetarian to love vegetarian food! “Flexitarian” is a term recently coined to describe those who eat a mostly vegetarian diet, but occasionally eat meat.
3) Vegetarian (Lacto-ovo- vegetarian)
When most people think of vegetarians, they think of lacto-ovo-vegetarians. People who do not eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or animal flesh of any kind, but do eat eggs and dairy products are lacto-ovo vegetarians (“lacto” comes from the Latin for milk, and “ovo” for egg).
Lacto-vegetarian is used to describe a vegetarian who does not eat eggs, but does eat dairy products.
Ovo-vegetarian refers to people who do not eat meat or dairy products but do eat eggs.
4) Vegan
Vegans do not eat meat of any kind and also do not eat eggs, dairy products, or processed foods containing these or other animal-derived ingredients such as gelatin. Many vegans also refrain from eating foods that are made using animal products that may not contain animal products in the finished process, such as sugar and some wines. There is some debate as to whether certain foods, such as honey, fit into a vegan diet.
5) Raw vegan/Raw food diet
A raw vegan diet consists of unprocessed vegan foods that have not been heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius). “Raw foodists” believe that foods cooked above this temperature have lost a significant amount of their nutritional value and are harmful to the body.
6) Macrobiotic
The macrobiotic diet, revered by some for its healthy and healing qualities, includes unprocessed vegan foods, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and allows the occasional consumption of fish. Sugar and refined oils are avoided. Perhaps the most unique qualifier of the macrobiotic diet is its emphasis on the consumption of Asian vegetables, such as daikon, and sea vegetables, such as seaweed.
Other than that, aside from the obvious veggies, beans, nuts which are high in protein. Eggs if you eat them (not vegan), and dairy.. again if you're not vegan. Get your C from fruits and some vegetables. Taking daily supplements won't hurt either.
for protein: nuts, tofu, cereal.
There are many items you can eat but the thing is are you willing to eat them. Seaweed is high on B Vitamins but not everyone like to eat it, you could aslo have blue algy on drinks, could go to whole foods or some Jamba juice stores have them too, could buy the powder form to add on your smoothies!!
All green leafey veggies as good since they have calcium kale very rich, spinach rich in iron but not suggested to eat too much for the same reason, the darker the leaf the better for you......the whiter the more water it has!!
I send meals to cook or have on fridays.......if you are interested in learning a few dishes send me an e-mail trhough here to let me know or you can send me an e-mail @:
[email protected]
..............are you allergic to anything, if so let me know will tell you what you can replace for what where to find it and tips in case you want to make your own......I make my own almond milk....(almond water)...etc....
Have a nice day...........my name is Gustavo, been a vegetarian for 4 years going on 5 on my birthday, July 26!!!
hey baby eat vegtables no meat
Hello!
You should definitely eat lots of colorful vegetables and fruits. Make sure you get your leafy greens in. You should aim for between 8-12 servings of fruits a veggies a day (don't panic, servings are generally only 1/2 cup or so) and plenty of grains (whole grains are definitely better), and nuts and beans. If you're doing it for only health reasons and you want to keep dairy, aim for 1-2 servings of low fat dairy products. Eggs may have a lot going for them nutritionally but are also clogged with cholestrol and fat. They really don't offer anything you can't get from more healthy sources. Although processed vegetarian foods (ie. veggie burgers) are quick and simple they are almost as deviod of nutrition as their meat based counterparts. They don't need to and shouldn't be a large part of any diet.
There are many books you can read on the subject and you can always talk to a licensed nutritionist. Your doctor may be supportive but, sadly, many doctors don't get a whole load of training in nutrition in med school. Honestly you have to really be eating the same things over and over again everyday with no variety to screw up a vegetarian diet. Vegan can be trickier (you should take a B12 supplement because it's no longer found in our produce due to increased hygiene in processing) but really variety is the key.
Go take out some vegetarian/vegan cookbooks from the library or buy some online or in second hand bookstores. You may be surprised at the variety of recipes in them! Vegetarianism doesn't have to be hard or boring.
Good luck!
MAKE SURE U READ ABOUT IT AND TAKE ALL YOUR VITAMINS!!!! VEGETARIANS CAN HAVE TROUBLE IF THEY DONT TAKE VITAMINS (BECAUSE THEY DONT GET THE VITAMINS THAT U NEED FROM MEAT!)
After nine years of being a vegetarian and feeding vegetarian children, I have done countless hours of research on this subject. If you miss meat you should eat the fake substitutions although they are not very good for you. The absolut best diet is one of mostly fruits, vegetables and leafy greens with some nuts and seeds preferably raw. Leafy greens are crucial because they provide protein and calcium--you should aim to eat about 2-3 cups or 1-2 bunches of greens per day. That being said, many people--myself included--have a very hard time with this diet. With the above-mentioned foods in mind you should also eat whole grains, legumes, and organic yogurt(especially if you don't eat enough greens--let the cows do it for you). Try to eat plenty of salads. Raw food really increases your energy. Peace and love.
eat anything you want. (without meat)
tryst me--there are zillions of choices out there
