How do you stop eating chicken?!
How do you stop eating chicken?
I am trying to become a vegetarian and have given up all other meats for a while now. Chicken is the hardest and I have only been able to eat it sparingly but not stop completely.
Does anyone have any tips on how to quit?
Answers:
First you need to reframe the way you THINK about it. Instead of thinking "I cant have chicken" think about what you CAN have. For me, I turned to ethnic cuisine for inspiration and recipes. Now I think of all the lovely new foods I am learning about. I dont miss the chicken a bit now (did at first till I started thinking about it differently) Also, if you want to do it graphically-go to meetyourmeat.com or peta.org-watch the videos. Trust me, you wont WANT to eat if ever again. Congrats on your decision to go veggie. Smart choice.
just stop but i know its not easy i love chicken too
don't cook it. try eating it raw.
dont i love roasted chicken and lemon chicken. im hungry thinkng about, dont do that to yourself you will probably give up the whole vegetarian thing a couple of years from now anyways.
Leave the feathers on it. empph, ohww, that hurts.
Just stop. Is it the flavor or the fact that it is the only meat you still eat what? Your not addicted to chicken are you? I mean I have heard of odd addictions before but.... there are chicken alternatives if you want to go that route but I have to admit they do not tast exactly like chicken. Find an adventist book center and they have all sorts of meatless products you should try
try the fake meat
yeah...i got sick off of chicken once....cant stand it to this day
Do not buy it when you do grocery shopping or when you eat out
Hi !!!

GOD LUCK, GOD BLESS YOU & HAPPY LIFE

Lol, I can offer a tip and i ran into this by accident. My friend works at KFC and I LOVE CHICKEN i mean LOVE it lol or at least I did. I asked him if he would bring over chicken after work so he brought home 3 buckets full of chicken for me and i ate it that night the next day for breakfast lunch and dinner and nothing else all day. The day after that i started getting stomach aches and now i cant have that much of it.... lol Kind of a sick way of doing it but trust me it will work.
Hard for me to say what draws you to chicken, but in the Chinese markets, in the frozen sections, they have mock meats.These started with vegetarian monks, and made with gluten to resemble the everyday persons diet(cooked with same vegetables,sauces, herbs) but named "mock fish" "mock chicken" "mock beef" etc. If you try the chicken you can bake the "fillets" or stir fry the nuggets, and make your own toppings, and maybe this will help you out.
I can't stand chicken. I replaced it with beef, pork, lamb, deer and elk, emmm tasty. I am a lifelong PETA member(People Eating Tasty Animals).
If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?
Try not having it as often, maybe once a week. Most likely after a while you won't crave it as much and when you do have it, it just won't taste the same. That's what I did and now any meat tastes disgusting to me. Try it out, maybe it'll work for you too. ^_^
You are a vegetarian, you're not a vegan.
Stop eating chicken. Don't eat it sparingly either. I know it's hard to stop earing the things you love (trust me, I know). Don't buy it when you are at the store or when you go over a friend's house for dinner. All you can basically do is beat the urge! It can work b/c it becomes a habit!
You should watch that PETA video were they show the cruelty towards chickens and turkeys.. Watch this like 5 times and then yiu will be o.k after you freaking cry like I always do.
You juss stop.
i recommend 'Quorn chicken style pieces'. they have VERY similar texture to chicken and if you chuck on a bit of source then its delicious! also try 'Quorn fillets' and others in there range, belive me, its lovely stuff!
Chicken was hard for me too. I started eating the faux chicken at first like Quorn (it's so much like the real thing!)
Just stop thinking about it!!! And think that if you are going to eat it will be a disaster.....
By this way even i stopped eating chicken
just think of a little chicken being slaughtered so that you can have about ten minutes of so called tastiness. Puts me right off and ive never strayed since then.
OK.. i used to work in a chicken processing plant.. picture this next time you got your hands on that juicy drum stick..those chickens and caught and put in to a pin... all cram it there and can barely move then the pins get loaded on the back of a semi.. they go to the plant.. alive they are hung up side down and they go there a machine that steams them to death and plucks the feathers.. then the go down a line hanging upside down.. we chopped off the head and pluck what feathers are still there.. then pull the gizzard and livers.. and cut the necks off and then the go to the other side of the plant were they finished the job.. oh and once in a while the chicken don't die when they go threw the steaming.. they just lay there half dead..i lasted about 4 months on that job before i quit
well it depends on the person. This seems to be the hardest for many.
Try chicken substitues such as chik nuggets.
Alos try and educate yourself on chicken. Ex: All the chicken served at McDOnalds except the McNuggest contains soy, inlcuding their "premium chicken strips"
while they still have chicken in them, my point is what you may consider chicken isn't always just that, soy products aren't so bad when you realizeyou've been eatting them for years in some form.
Also educate yourself about how chichens are treated. CHickens are the MOST mistreated animal of all as people jsut view them as birds. Thei beak tips are chopped off so they do not peck others/themselves, they live in constant artificial lights, and are often stomped on, kciked, and worse by workers. Most cannot stand up even.

however if your eally want to quit anything, it all really boils down to your WANT to quit. If you can quit eating beef then you can quit eating chicken, you just have to do it.
Eat it. meatless diets has been proven to lead to stupidity and PETA support ..... EAT MEAT AND LOTS OF IT.
save a head of cabbage.... steam a vegan!
Put down the fork.
MorningStar Farms meal starter strips in chicken flavor (caution, garlic gas alert) or Chic patties. Quorn makes products that are very chicken like but the fungus source of protien gives some people loose stools. I love Tofurkey deli slices. Good luck!
It's hard to give it up because I used to eat hamburgers and chicken nuggets all the time, but now I'm vegetarian. However, there are fake meats and I think they taste pretty good. I have a box of fake chicken nuggets in my dorm fridge that I can cook in the microwave and they are so yummy. I also love the veggie burgers that are in my college's dining hall.
