Do you ever have cravings for meat?!
Answers: How do you deal with it?
i love this question, i love getting asked this. Cravings are normal, and doesn't mean you "need" something just you want it. You can cure this by eating stronger foods maybe spicy, salty, to you taste go to http://www.vegcooking.com to get some great recipes, and almost a substitute for anything
vegetarian- i don't eat meat :)
When you crave something it normally is an indication your body needs it...there are people who crave non food items because they are lacking certain minerals (Mud, seriously)..perhaps you need more protein in your diet...or perhaps iron....but,.Iron is usually indicated by a craving for sweets.
Normally if you are craving meat that means your body is deficient in some nutritional enzyme. The main time when I crave meat is when I am low on protein. Try eating some refried or baked beans and rice together and that should boost your protein level and you won't crave meat as much.
No. I never crave any particular foods.
Never and it's been a whole year of not eating meat!
Just when I am high, easy to get rid of the craving, I just think of the animals and the images I have seen of the way they live and die. Usually all I crave is Arbys roast beef, Chef Boyardee Ravioli, and Slim Jims:)
no,but i have cravings for chocolate :)
not really anymore. ive been veg for about 2 months now. i stopped eating meat overnight. the first 2 weeks were the hardest. i craved fried chicken sooo badly...i dont even like it!! but i just ate something else until i was full, i no longer craved anything. i usually ate a peanut putter sandwich, becuse its full of protien.. now i hardley ever crave it, i just eat Baco-s when i do. ( they are fake bacon bits) it tastes like the real thing!
No I never do.

No, never. I guess it's because I became vegan for the ethical/political and rights for animals rather than health. The smell of meat makes me gag.
No. I do like a boca burger now and again.
Yes, I do sometimes crave meat. I am a vegan, so I don't cave in to my cravings and eat the meat I want... Instead, I eat a piece of bread with almond butter on top, since protein usually satiates the craving. If I still really want meat, I'll eat a meat-like meat alternative, such as a vegan "hot dog" a vegan "hamburger".
No. I became a vegetarian because I did not like the way meat tasted. (Mainly due to the bloodiness and deadness of it) When I became vegan I missed cheese, but then I remembered how it was made, then the cravings stopped.
So that is what you could do, remember how meat is made and where it comes from.
Plus there is seitan, tempeh, plus a whole bunch of other meat substitutes that taste like meat but without the blood, feces, and nausea.
No, especially when the stomach filled up.
honestly, i dont remember what meat tastes like! ive been vegetarian for 4 years. only once this year i craved a piece of dry, italian sausage. so i at a small piece and havent craved meat since.
no never
it freaks me out that I'm eating a dead animal
now way!! the smell of people who eat meat makes me gag...
driving and will get a breeze with the restaurant smell and need to pull over and barf...
meat eaters smell like a crematorium/ and hiding it with perfume is disgusting...
I enjoying the feeling of health and the not feeling bloated and icky ...
the NOT throwing up and the diarrhea because the body got another dose of food poisoning from meat...
because the human body can not process dead animal ...
the years of stupid people telling me that there was something wrong with me because I didn't want to eat meat...the next person that questions me about not wanting to eat road kill is going to get an ear full...
unfortunately I still smoke, BUT...I can still smell the meat body odor on people, which I find equally offensive..
so I get please don't smoke, it smells.....ok, please don't eat meat cause you smell dead...
I only have a few meats that I crave and they're all pig products. I have horrible cravings for carnitas burritos, bacon, and prosciutto. I think it's funny, just because of the fact that I would absolutely never eat these things anymore.
I deal with it by eating similar foods -- a veggie fajita burrito instead of carnitas, and anything salty to kill the ham craving.
I know some cravings are from deficiencies, but others are just habit or psychological. There's nothing wrong with you if you still crave meat once in a while. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty about it.
I usually deal with it by eating some meat.
