Don't eat meat.

[Anonymous No.6134938]

dont tell anyone about it until at least 3 months in

It sucks and it is hard. I live on that diet cause of wife. You will end up substiuting meat with cheeses and weight gain will be a problem.

eggs are a good dietary choice for a vegetarian.

all the protein of a potential baby animal without the morally unacceptable addition of semen.

Beans are your new best friend. To feel full eat lots of vegetable fiber. Eating out or on the go will be a bitch.

Do NOT fucking do this. The only obese vegetarians I know are total dairy whores. Be very moderate about your dairy intake.

im lactose intolerant, so ive never eaten or drank anything milk related

[Anonymous No.6134953]

this. and milk with good amount of whole grains, fresh vag, and fruits

[Anonymous No.6134954]

Do it gradually and don't replace meat with a bunch of junk food.

Get some different WHOLE grains, get some different kinds of legumes, get some different kinds of vegetables, try different dishes with them until you get an idea of what you like and have developed a portfolio of viable meals, and slowly phase out the meat from your diet.

Trying to drop meat all at once will most likely just leave you confused if you grew up in a country where meat is the centerpiece of every meal. Swapping out the steak for a block of tofu isn't a realistic approach.

I'm just a carb whore and I'm fat. I don't eat much dairy but I eat loads of pasta and bread and beans+rice with tortillas

I pretty much live on mostly carbs, without enough vegetables and I'm pretty sure I'm diabetic now.

I'm a carb whore, too, but I make sure to fill up on vegetable fiber, and I lift. You can pretty much live on grains, beans and veggies without getting fat as long as you lift.

it's not really hard to stop all at once

there are so many satisfying meals with no meat in them, but I did get addicted to cheese for a while.

I've never even tried tofu

except for the milk part i can work with the rest

That's if you're already aware of those meals. In my experience, most people can't imagine giving up meat because they aren't familiar with enough dishes that don't include meat. To someone who eats meat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it's not a change you can do instantly without quickly dropping the whole idea because you don't know what to eat besides vegetables and imitation meat products

[Anonymous No.6134995]

>>6134971
yeah, I should have mentioned in my post that I pretty much never move, and I also drink alcohol

I think you can be pretty damn fit on a veg diet if you aren't a drunk lazy sack of shit like me

[Anonymous No.6135008]

>>6134927
think of it like a pyramid.

the base of it is dark greens, like spinach and co: eat a lot of these.

the next tier up is: beans and nuts, eat a lot of these as well.

after that is weird vegetables: like carrots and stuff, good source of vitamins and minerals.

and the top of the pyramid is fruit: you should eat a decent and varied amount of these, but watch out for the sugar. you should eat more vegetables than fruit.

important thing to consider: you are going to have to eat ALOT of food, forget the idea of meals, youre basically gonna be eating all day because of how low in calories veggies are - why do you think cows/dinos would just sit around eating trees all day?

whats your BMI? ill make you a regiment

I don't know if I totally agree with you, but I will say my cooking has entirely changed since going (mostly) vegetarian. I used to eat beans once or twice a week, now it's almost every day. Middle Eastern and Indian food used to be once in a while things for me, now they're part of the day to day diet.

You sure as fuck are not going to be eating a typical Western diet as a vegetarian.

Buy a pressure cooker. Dried beans are fucking cheap and tasty, but a pain to prepare without one. It's also great for grains.

[Anonymous No.6135137]

>>6135118
I usually soak them for about 6 hours and then cook them for 15 min. The texture is similar to canned ones, slightly firmer. It's also possible to cook without soaking. Exact cooking time depends on the beans, your cooker, your altitude and your preferences.

Learn how to replace the calories you would normally get from meat with legumes,fruit and veg.

Simple

Completely untrue. Also there's nothing wrong with the sugar in fruit, eat as much as you want OP.

B-but fruit has SUGAR!!!

Sugar is the #1 cause of obesity in the world!

Everyone needs to limit their daily sugar intake to less than 2 nanograms per day!

Nobody should be allowed to drink anything other than water!

Any more, and you'll be suffering from Obesity, Diabetes, Autism, and Attention Deficit Disorder within Weeks!

We NEED a Sugar Tax to protect us against this fatal epidemic, or the ENTIRE WORLD POPULATION will be DEAD BY 2050!

Yeah. Don't.

Why would you want to be a vegetarian? Is it for legitimate health reasons? Or is it because you want to be trendy or something?

[Anonymous No.6138612]

>>6135118

Forget using a pressure cooker for beans. Use a slow cooker instead.

Overeating and not exercising are the top two causes of obesity, not necessarily in that order.
