While going meatless isn’t for everyone, it can improve your health. Here are tips from nutritionists on making the transition:
Know why you’re doing it. Having firm reasons for changing your diet – whether moral, ethical, medical, environmental or otherwise – can keep you on track.
Set guidelines. Many vegetarians decide to keep eating eggs and dairy, while others opt to cut all animal products.
Tell family and friends. They may not understand or approve, so be ready to explain your reasons.
Don’t go cold turkey. Two strategies are to eliminate one type of meat a week – red meat first, say, followed by chicken, pork and seafood – or to swap in one vegetarian meal each week.
Have some recipes ready. Buy a vegetarian cookbook or use an online source such as www.goveg.com. Try one new dish a week to make the switch fun – not a form of deprivation.
