I want to become a vegetarian, but have no idea what to eat!?!


Question: I want to become a vegetarian, but have no idea what to eat!!?
It has been bothering me to eat meat lately, I guess you could say I'm starting to get grossed out by it, so I've been considering turning to the path on becoming a vegetarian!. The problem is, I don't like vegetables, and I don't like fruit!. My friend's tell me I can eat things like noodles, and fake meat, are there anymore options!? I don't want to have to live off just tofu for the rest of my lifeWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Just eat what you normally eat, except for the meat! There’s lots of different things to eat!. You can eat: boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, cheese, pizza (that has no meat) grains, instant noodles, sphagetti, bread, beans, milk, salads, nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios, cashews), mashed potatoes and stuff!.

Just a questioin: if you don't like veggies or fruit, what do you usually eat!? just meat!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, trust me, there are still plenty of things to eat, but be careful if you want to eat candy and snack foods that they might contain extracts from animals and gelatin!.
I don't like fruits or vegetables either!. I manage by eating plenty of eggs, beans and as many vegetables I can find that I like!. If you're really not into that, try buying vegetable and fruit drinks!. They are easier to stomach!. I love Spicy V8!. I get all my vegetables without really eating them!. Hehe!. also V8 Fusions are really good too!. That's how I get my fruit!. I also drink plenty of soy milk for calcium and other such vitamins!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You're gonna have to suck it up one way or another!. Either just get over it and eat meat, or find some vegetables that you will eat!. You can't live off of just noodles!.
Beans and rice are great!. Any legumes, especially lentils or black beans!. They're very very healthy and tasty too!.
Greens are important, too!. I like collard, turnip, beet, or mustard greens!. Kale is good though!. Cook however you like it!.

But just branch out and find stuff you do like!. Even if you go back to eating meat, you can't live off just meat, either!. Vegetables and fruits are important parts too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

nuts and seeds are vegetarians favourites!. nuts may include walnuts, almonds, peanuts, cashew nuts etc!. seeds may include sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, lentil seeds etc!.
nuts and seeds give you protein, almost like meat without the fat!. They also provide you with essential oils that are good for your body!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Look up Alisa Cohen on the internet!. She has fantastic ways of preparing fruit and vegetables so they are not the boring, tasteless versions you are thinking of!.

also beans are very high in protein, as well as nuts!. Tofu will take on the flavor of anything you put with it! Try that too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just cut everything you normally eat, minus the meat!.
For Example: Eat cheese or veggie pizza instead of meat pizza
Read labels to make sure there aren't any meat product/ bi-products
Eat eggs, cheese, grains, lots of beans, nuts soy etc!.
