If you want to be a vegetarian smoothly, here are 20 tips that may help you:

1.There must be a good reason

If you are just trying to be a vegetarian, you may not stick to it for a long time--not because it is so difficult, but because any lifestyle or habitual change requires a little motivation.You need to first think about why you are vegetarian and then firmly believe in this reason.The rest is very simple.

2.Be prepared to read

I read as many articles as possible before starting to do anything new.I suggest you do the same with vegetarianism.Go to the library to check out a few good books (or, it would be even better if you could borrow them from your vegetarian friend).There are countless good vegetarian websites on the Internet.Chinese vegetarian websites include: China Vegetarian Network, I Joy, Tomato House, Vegetarian Sky, China Vegetarian Culture Communication Network, English vegetarian websites include: GoVeg.com、VeganAction、 International Vegetarian Association InternationalVegetarianUnion(IVU)etc (There are more good vegetarian websites, you can search in the friendly links of the above websites)

3.Find good recipes

You don't need to go out and buy a bunch of new cookbooks, although that's also a way.But it is important to say that there are many excellent recipes online.Try it GoVeg.com... My other favorite is PostPunkKitchen。 In fact, this may be a bit overwhelming, but don't worry, you don't need to choose anything.Just browse the recipes, record what looks good, and select some of them to try.The rest of your life can be spent trying other recipes!The blogs of Chinese vegetarian recipes include: Blind Bird and Mashed Potatoes, Aqi's World, Faai Vegetarian Network, Fresh Vegetarian Food in Moonlight Box, Vegetarian Life, Wanbilius' Vegetarian Notes...

4.A new recipe per week

My advice is to try a new recipe every week.If you like it, add it to your regular edible basic recipe set.If this recipe is not good, try another new one next week.Soon you will have a list of 5 to 10 recipes you like to make and eat.In fact, whether you are a vegetarian or a meat eater, the recipes you use regularly are almost all of them (at least for dinner).Most people only have 7 to 10 dishes that they will cook regularly.Once you have a lot of vegetarian recipes, your vegetarian journey will be very smooth.

5.Choose a good alternative

You can still cook according to the recipe you like before, but replace the meat with its corresponding vegetarian alternative.For example, if you like pasta or red peppers, you can cook it using the previous method of cooking meat sauce. Bocca Card or MorningStar Brand of vegetarian beef sauce.Almost all meats have vegetarian alternatives, and some of them are really great.So you can avoid meat and continue to eat the dishes you usually like.Swap meat with soy protein, roasted gluten, and gluten, or use pure vegetarian semi-finished products instead.

6.Get rid of red meat first

I suggest a gradual shift to vegetarianism, although you can get it in one step, I find that for most people, a gradual shift will work better.Try some new recipes, you can eat one vegetarian meal in the first week, two meals in the second week, and so on.If you do this, quit red meat (including beef, lamb, etc.) first because it is a typical health killer.

7.Then quit other meats

After a few weeks of life without red meat, try to quit pork again.Then there is chicken, then seafood.If you are gradual in a step-by-step manner like this, you can almost never notice the change if you are a step-by-step approach (if you want to slow down, you can even set it as three weeks or one month).In my case, I no longer have the idea of ​​eating meat in about a week.

8.Consider whether to quit egg milk

Vegetarians have different opinions on this, so if you have said goodbye to meat, there is no requirement to give up egg custard.Do what you think is right.But if you want to try to go a step further after a meatless life (in terms of health, environment, and help relieve animal pain), consider whether you should continue eating egg milk.First, they are usually very high in saturated fat, especially when compared to those soy alternatives.It's easy for me to not eat eggs because I've never liked eggs, but it took a while to drink soy milk to get used to... But now I can't stand the taste of milk anymore.

9.Pay attention to your food ingredients

A practical way is to make a list of foods you usually eat, including three meals, desserts and snacks.It is not a list of the name of the food, but a topping for the food.Then think about what vegetarian alternatives are there and make a new list.For example, you can use tofu instead of chicken and fish.With this new list, there should be no difficulty when you buy things that are placed in the refrigerator and refrigerator.

10.One-step approach

Some people prefer to get it in one step.Although this requires greater determination than the gradual approach I advocate, it is actually not that difficult.Just follow the steps given above (find a recipe, use alternatives, make a new list of ingredients and read as much as possible) to try it.It may only take a few days to get used to it, and there will be basically no problems after that.After getting used to not eating meat, all you need to solve is just the kind of problems you encounter when you go to a restaurant or someone else’s house.

11.Ensure adequate protein

There is a rumor about vegetarianism that you won't get enough protein.In fact, it is carnivores that usually consume much more protein than the body needs.The average adult needs less protein than people usually think.If you have a balanced and diverse diet (like, not just junk food), including vegetables, cereals, beans, nuts, soy protein, and so on, you will be healthy.On the contrary, it would be difficult to find a diet that doesn't get enough protein (maybe junk food is one).Another rumor is that you have to eat different kinds of protein in one meal (or a day) to be fully protein from the plant... In fact, as long as your food provides multiple proteins within a few days, you will be healthy.And soy protein is a complete protein that can provide all the amino acids needed by the human body, just like meat.

12.Eat less junk food

Vegetarians can also be very unhealthy if they always eat junk food.Being a vegetarian doesn’t mean getting a license to eat junk food (although you might be able to indulge in a little bit since you stop eating meat).Try to adhere to fruits, vegetables, whole wheat foods, beans, nuts, soy protein, low-fat dairy products and other nutritious foods.

13.Try exotic food

One of the great benefits of being a vegetarian is that it stimulates people to try new and interesting exotic foods (or remind them of foods they love but don’t eat often).There are great vegetarian dishes all over the world, from Chinese, Italian pasta to many Indian dishes to spicy Thai dishes, Ethiopia, Morocco, Mexico, South America and more, and there are countless more.You can try a fun series of themed week activities, try a national vegetarian dish every week, and then move the position to experience other delicious exotic foods.

14.Tell friends and family

If you really plan to be a vegetarian, you must tell this to the people you know and the people you love.Because you will still eat with them at restaurants or at their homes or at social gatherings or at work, it’s best to let everyone involved know what you’re doing and why (so that they prepare vegetarian dishes for you, or you can also give them a try).Some people may be difficult to accept.Explain to them as much as possible without arguing and let them understand (maybe you can let them taste your food).Don't impose vegetarianism on anyone, or sounds like a sermon, but give them more information on that if they are interested.

15.Enjoy vegetarian food

The most important thing is not to turn becoming a vegetarian into a torture that strictly limits you.If you think you are taking away your rights, you can't last.But if you feel like you are doing a good thing and try some delicious food, you will last longer (even think I hope it will last for a lifetime).Enjoy the fun in the process.

16.Make plans in advance

Usually the obstacle that vegetarians at the beginning stage encounter is that they go out without thinking about what they can eat.Prepare a dish yourself and take it (preferably inform the owner in advance) to a party or dinner.When going out to do business, it doesn’t have to end up going to McDonald’s to go hungry, as long as you have your own lunch box or some snacks.

17.Prepare food in advance

Another problem is that when we don’t have any vegetarian food that we can eat directly, we turn to the easiest and feasible solution (which may be something we don’t like and we are too hungry to wait any longer).To avoid this, you can make a large pot of vegetarian fresh peppers or soup or something and put it in the refrigerator to eat when you are hungry but don’t have time to cook.

18.Vegetarian Dim Sum

I love to eat fruits and diced vegetables, but there are actually many other snacks you can eat.Roasted (or raw) almonds, chickpea paste and pita cakes, or vegetarian blue corn fries and Mexican salsa, low-fat fruit cereals, berries soy milk, whole wheat cereal porridge, Kashi Brand salted biscuits... In fact, as long as you are willing to look for it, you can find countless snacks.Enough for you to eat now, eat at home, eat at work, and eat on the road.

19.Vegetarian Restaurants

Check the vegetarian restaurant in your location online. If not, you can ask the ordinary restaurant to make a vegetarian meal.

20.Vegetarian Convenience Food

In the frozen food section of the supermarket, you will find many vegetarian convenience foods that can be used by microwave heating.You can try it (my favorite is Amys card).It should be noted that, like most convenience foods, they will be a little more expensive than what you make at home, and most are not as healthy as they do at home.But you can also find some pretty healthy convenience foods.In any case, it is always right to store some convenience food in the refrigerator for a moment.
