I have recently been challenged into being a vegetarian for 30 days. I'm on day two now and I'm dying!I don't understand how you vegetarians do it.. I am gagging for big juicy steak covered in mexican chilli sauce, a tripple whooper burger king, a mouth watering flamming smoked chicken... aaaa.. seriously I dont think I'll make it past day three as i am sooo weak! I would like to know how you manage to go through a day without some meat... any pointers for me to complete this challenge will be appreciated! Thanks.

I'm a complete omnivore.

to me, giving up meat for a month would be much like giving up eggs for a month or giving up garlic for a month.

I could do it. no problem.

there's so many wonderful foods out there. I don't categorise them into meat and vegetarian. pasta and a nice sauce is good, spaghetti bolognaise is good with meat or with meat substitutes, vegetable bake is good, cheesy potato bake is good, egg and bacon pie is good, macaroni cheese is good.

there's a lot of good foods out there, with or without meat.

just as there's good food with and without cheese.

I know.. as we are both omnivores you know that there is some vegetarian food that just doesnt taste nice without a bit of meat! oh and bacon pie? isnt bacon meat??


myLot reputation of 87/100. Galena (6230)   ranked 627 out of 8,637 in cooking  3 years ago

well that's the point.

there's good food with and without meat.

if you just think of them as good meals rather than good veggie meals and good meat meals, then it's barely an issue to go without meat for a while.

bacon is a lovely ingredient, so is chicken, so is cheese, so is courgette, so is pasta, so is potato.

there are a lot of amazing meals out there, with and without meat.

This is very easy for someone who does not care for meat. Yes for someone who loves it like you it will be hard. Try to have the will power to do it. Don't think about the food you want so much, put it out of your mind. I like to eat alot of pasta dishes, rice and vegetables mixed together. If I never had meat again it would not really bother me. Just think it is cleansing your body. Meat that you eat stays in your system for up to 2 to 3 days depending on the kind of meat and the quantity. It's really not good for you especially in large quantities. If you want to live a long healthy life you need to stay away from the stuff. Good Luck!

I´m no veghetarian, but I guess I could do it for one month if I could have eggs and milk in my diet. Is that the case? Because eggs can save you with different kinds of omelettes. But thinking of it, even if eggs are forbidden, there are many sauces that can be made without meat of any kind.
I´ll try a brainstorm:
Mushrooms are a plus there. A white sauce (milk?) with mushrooms that have been fried first, pepper to the taste.
Or (white sauce again) with minced artichoke hearts over some pasta.
Lentils, garbanzo beans, regular beans, dry pea soups. Fried rice with all the veggies you have in your fridge, dided.
Spinach sauce over pasta or rice.
Ask your vegetarian friends for recipes. Nuts, dry fruits can bre added in different dishes.
Take care and tell us how you did it.

Hehe it is really hard! I was a vegetarian for 2 years and was doing really well until one day I was really sick and had a HUGE craving for a meat pie. I caved in and ate it and have been eating meat again ever since!

i will tell you a veryt simple funda... if you got even a bit of it ...you will be a vegetarian all your life !!

now god says all living things are alike...right


next time your are eating a chicken or turkey just imagine the finger of your kid cooked along with the meat... will u still eat???

or just look at it this way... you are eating some ones flesh that was murdered !

imagine yourself for food you stab a person to death... remove his skin... chop his neck off.... and put him to boil... or fry... how yummy does this seem? huh ???

so consider all living things alike... even cows, chickens, pigs have heart, brains and a family... how can u just kill like that for your stomach sake....

this is a big sin in my religion "hinduism"

it says all westerners are going to hell ! i will give you a point to prove that...

look at the pigs or cows or chickens you eat very carefully... they have blue, green, hazel eyes..and few black eyes... just like all westerners have... what hint does it give you...

it tells you life is a circle... you ate animals all your life ... now after your death you are re incarnated as a chicken, cow, or pig and your fellow men eat you alive !!

Ive been a vegetarian for 5 years and the thought of eating meat never crosses my mind. Thinking of how the animals are treated just makes me feel sick, think about that try the PETA website. Also eating things like Quarn are so tasty and taste like meat, ive never been a fan of tofu though. Carbs fill you up so base your diet around them and you should be fine. The vegetarian diet is also healthy and slimming.
