Do nothing except stop eating meat, continue to eat junk food, and
start eating lots of cheese. Just tell them at McDonalds to hold the
patty. This is a very common approach, and a nutritional disaster. You
might as well keep eating meat and potatoes.
-
Go straight from eating hamburgers to being a strict vegan or macrobiotic.
Almost as common and equally disastrous. All the toxins that are holding your
body together disappear overnight, and there�s very little of you left, much
to your mother�s horror.
-
By trial and error � reading, surfing the web, trying
out various diets, cooking classes, etc. This is wiser, but very
time-consuming. It can also be hard on you, because you tend to frequently
change horses in mid-stream, with much falling off, near-drowning, getting
lost, etc.
-
Proclaim loudly to your friends, family, and co-workers that
you are a vegetarian/animal rights activist, and that they are cruel &
disgusting for continuing to eat meat. Do this especially while you are
eating with these people. This is fine if you enjoy being a social outcast
� there�s nothing more annoying than a zealous convert in your face while
you�re eating.
-
Tell people you are a vegetarian who just eats some fish
& chicken a few times a week. Actually, this is a reasonably healthy
diet, which much of the world eats. It�s a good step on the way, but it's
not vegetarian.
-
Get a personal coach to guide you in quickly learning
everything you need to know to become a Savvy Vegetarian. Becoming
vegetarian is a personal journey � each individual needs to go at it
differently. It takes some time for your body to adjust, and it�s also a
major lifestyle change. A coach can help you find your path, draw you a
map, and guide you through the rough parts.
