I want to try to be a vegetarian, what can I expect in the first few weeks.?!


Question:

I want to try to be a vegetarian, what can I expect in the first few weeks.?

I'm pretty much your typical steak and potatos type guy. I just don't get vegetarians and I want to see why they don't eat certain stuff. Can I eat eggs or cheese or what? And do I need to supplement my diet with vitamins or what?

Yeah, I mean I'm not doing it for fun or anything like that - I just want to see if I actually feel better or what. I hear so much about how bad meat is for you that I want to see if it's true.


Answers:

It will probably take a few weeks for your body to get used to it (meat sticks around in your colon for a while, as does cheese). You should really just try to eat a balanced diet (grains, beans, vegetables, fruits), if you do you shouldn't need dietary supplements.
Ovo-lacto vegetarians eat eggs and dairy (but no vegetarians eat fish), just try not to lean too heavily on dairy, 'cause it'll make you constipated.
You'll probably notice a change in your digestive health, after all the meat exits your system. If you're not used to eating a healthy, balanced diet, you'll probably see a lot of other benefits in just how you feel (energy levels, etc).
Good luck!
