I want to switch to a vegaterian diet for a few months to lose a bit of weight!. Is it hard to switch!? I don't eat that much meat anyway!. I'm afraid that my mom will not take me serious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
It really depends on the person!. I watched the videos to make sure that I wouldn't have any cravings for meat, and end up cheating!. Now it disgusts me, lol!.
also, being a vegetarian you won't necessarily lose weight!. A lot of "veggies" end up eating more carbs to feel more full, which carbs, especially those that are not 100% whole grain, make it a bit harder to lose weight!. And it isn't healthy for you to just eat fruits and veggies!. I have lost weight since I became one, but that is because I exercise daily, and cut out almost all junk food, quit drinking soda, and only eat WHOLE grains!.
This probably isn't the easiest route to take for weight loss!. also, if you just cut your calories a lot your metabolism will slow down, making it even harder to lose weight!. You just have to eat LOTS of healthy food, and avoid the junk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I really do find your reasons wrong but for me it wasn't easy and I was/am (I quit after a month and ten days) and I did not loose weight!. I heard people say I looked a lot more energetic but I know for a fact I was surviving off boca chicken patties and swedish fish!. I really think if you want to loose weight you should try cutting down proportions and working out!. If you want to go veggie, do it for the animals firstly!. Oh, and don't worry, my mom didn't take me seriously either :] In fact, no one except my girlfriend (ex) did!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My parents didn't support me at first, but after awhile, they saw how committed I was to being vegetarian!. You could tell your mom that you've done a lot of research about the health benefits of vegetarianism and you'd appreciate it if she could support you!.
Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would think it would be because if you have already eaten a lot of meat in your life then you might think it is really good so then if you switch to a vegetarian diet then you might want some meat so then you would't be on a vege tarian diet if you crave the taste of meat and then eat some!.!. but I guess you could eat fish if you like it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I dont think its hard!. I use to love eating hamburgers, but after vacationing in a place (i rather not mention) for 2 weeks, they ate meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner!.!.!. every single serving was meat!. It grossed me out, especially since I got close to the animals at the farm!. I guess I would ask you!.!.!. on why you want to be "veggie", your ethics on it and your views!. My family eats meat, but they are very supportive!. There are lots of delicious vegetarian food out there,- at natural grocers!. Its not expensive what so ever!.

It is hard if you dont really want to do it!. I did it because my friends were vegetarians and it was the thing to do!. But I would eat meat when I wasn't with them!. I lasted a year or two but finally gave up!.
BTW, being vegetarian is not necessarily the best way to lose weight!. It is more of a choice for other reasons, not for weight loss!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I suppose if you don't really want to do it it could be hard!. But for me it was surprisingly very easy!. The only meat I miss is chicken, and Morningstar Farms and Bocca make great fake chicken to help with that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
