Vegan Rock Stars: If you know of a vegan rock star (any vegan who makes music) and the source that says so let me know. In Britain, not only is there no language barrier but vegetarian diners come with an annual party of their own. National Vegetarian Week (which starts on today) is a familiar foodie fixture that will this season enlist the assistance of the Hairy Bikers in championing the cause and encouraging everyone to get caught in and go veggie for weekly”. After only consuming fish and sea food, cut it out totally and stop eating beef. This (not eating meats) would be eligible you, and I, as locto-ovo vegetarians, that happen to be the most common kind. Locto-ovo vegetarians don't eat meat of any sort, but can eat egg and milk products. So far, that's where I've finished my journey, but, if you would like to continue on to being vegan, I'll then add more steps. So, given that you have read my history of how I got to my current diet of eating vegetarian, perchance you want to take a step-by-step gradual approach as well. Or maybe you want to just do it now! Either way, be patient with yourself. You may lapse at times, especially at first & most likely when eating at a friend's home who may have made you supper. Make your motives clear to friends and family and family about your diet and the reasons you are doing it. Most will support you and help adapt meals to allow you to eat alongside them with ease. Some may well not understand and be more resistant to your dietary changes. A lot of my friends and family thought it was only a stage I was going through - at every step of just how! - but I've held strong and feel physically, mentally and emotionally strong as effect. I know you are not all vegetarians, incidentally - lots of you eat beef (27% in simple fact, according to previous year's reader study ), but just enjoy the occasional vegetarian recipe for reasons uknown. If you're one of the aforementioned meat eaters, and you have no curiosity about ever going veggie, you might like to neglect this post - this one's specifically for us veggies! And then for new vegetarians, specifically. Other foods you should be eating more of are wholegrains and legumes. They are really high in fibers and make your abdominal happy. These two food groups process slowly and invite your body to keep a stable glucose levels level, thus protecting against diseases such as diabetes and high blood circulation pressure. Additionally, if you are concerned about sacrificing your way to obtain iron (red meats) legumes and coffee beans can be a good replacement. To aid absorption, consider adding a source of vitamin supplements C to your meals.
