What are the first steps to becoming a vegetarian?

Answer 1

What I did when I was first becoming a vegetarian was slowly coming off of meat each week. I started off by giving up cow the first week then pig, chicken <including turkey odd meats like deer frog etc.> the last and the hardest for me was sea food. Also helped to watch how the animals were treated and then slaughtered. A good film to watch to pump you up about being a vegan/vegetarian is vegucation its on Netflix. Its mostly about becoming vegan but still helps if you want to become a vegetarian as well.

Answer 2

The easiest way to become a vegetarian is to ease into it. Cutting out all meat right away can hurt the body and make it more difficult to deal and maintain a vegetarian lifestyle. For a person who eats meat a lot, it is best to begin by slowly limiting meat consumption. (A person with only modertae or low meat consumption can skip this limiting step, of course.) After 2 or so weeks of that, begin cutting out meat products (beef, pork, lamb, poultry, fish) one by one every 2 to 3 weeks. Begin to increase other protein food choices, like nuts, beans, certain grains, fortified cereals, low-fat dairy, eggs, and dark leafy green. Take supplements if necessary. By this method, it will allow the body to have time to adjust and to stay healthy, while also allowing the individual's mental state to adjust as well.

Answer 3

By eating vegetarian foods that are organic--raised without pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

By vegetarian I mean eating food that does not require slaughter of animals.
