7 Simple Steps to Going & Staying Vegetarian

From http://www.vegsoc.org/

1. If it suits you to do things gradually – take your time. Some people give up red meat first, then poultry (remember, that’s chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese), then fish. Others eat vegetarian food one day a week, then two or three days and eventually every day. The important thing is to work out what will suit you and stick with it.

2. Don’t be put off by a bit of teasing or ill-informed scare stories. Vegetarians are sometimes the brunt of jokes and prejudices – usually from people who know very little about their own health and dietary needs.

3. Try something new. Take a fresh look around the shelves of your local supermarket and health food shop and get to know as many different vegetarian foods as possible, including meat alternatives like mince and sausages made from soya or Quorn™, tofu, pulses, cous cous and all sorts of fruit and vegetables.
4. Buy a vegetarian cookbook (or borrow one from your local library). Whether you need simple step by step instructions or gourmet dishes to impress your friends, there are literally hundreds of vegetarian cookbooks around and you can buy recommended titles online at www.vegsoc.org/store. Alternatively, you can view hundreds of recipes free here on our website

5. Learn a little about nutrition. A healthy vegetarian diet isn’t difficult (see our Basic Nutrition info sheet) but if you’ve grown up eating meat, you will have to change some of your habits and the easiest way to stay healthy is to understand what your body needs.

6. As you get more confident about vegetarian food, take the next step by making sure you always buy free-range eggs and vegetarian cheese. You can also start being careful about hidden non-veggie ingredients, using our stumbling blocks information sheet.

7. Don’t go it alone. Make sure you tell any vegetarian friends that you are going veggie and ask for their support and advice. Join The Vegetarian Society to make sure that you always have access to our expert advisors, information-packed quarterly magazine and discounts in all sorts of veggie-friendly places. And, to avoid any embarrassment when friends are cooking for you, remember to let them know in advance that you are vegetarian.
