How to Stop Eating Non Veg Food

Submitted by Stella Morgan on May 18, 2010

As the concept of vegetarianism catches on, more and more people are willingly giving up non-vegetarian foods to become completely vegetarian. This is not as difficult as one would imagine. If you want to stop eating non-vegetarian food, the simple technique is to have a fool proof methodology that you follow to the last letter. In fact, many people have made determined efforts to become vegetarians, and have eventually succeeded. Here’s how you can start.

Becoming a vegetarian is a great lifestyle change that you commit to.

If you have decided to become a vegetarian, you must have a reason for your choice. The first step in the direction of being a vegetarian is to remember why you want to be a vegetarian and by when you see yourself giving up non-vegetarian food completely.

Deciding to be a vegetarian is easier than sticking to your decision.

It is important that once you have decided to be a vegetarian, you should stick to your decision. Maintain a diary and everyday write something like ‘I want to be a vegetarian by… because…’ This will help reinforce your decision so that you can continue working towards your resolve.

It is important to remember that slow and steady wins the race. Since non-vegetarian food becomes an integral part of your lifestyle, giving it up altogether in a small amount of time may make you crave for it even more than it would otherwise have.

You might even see withdrawal symptoms in your body. Therefore, it is best to give it up slowly, without torturing your body too much.

Those who eat non-vegetarian foods, tend to eat many different meat types. A simple way to quit is to drop off one meat at a time.

For instance, try to quit eating beef first. After some time, quit eating pork. Then, give up poultry and fish. If you go out with someone and they insist that you to eat meats, simply tell them that you are allergic. Slowly, your body would stop missing certain kinds of meats and grow more dependent on vegetarian foods.

When you are left with only fish to give up, start replacing it slowly with green vegetables. Move on slowly and keep reducing the amount of fish you take over a period of one month. In a matter of weeks, you will stop feeling the urge to eat non vegetarian food and you will stop completely.
