if anyone answering wants to know im 14 and my parents think im crazy

Gradually cutting it out works for some people but others just need to fight past the stage where they no longer have the meat in their system and this can take up to a month. This is called the detox period and you will experience some changes during this period of time because your body will be working overtime to get rid of the blockages in your digestive lining caused by meat. Also there are a lot of misconceptions about a vegetarian diet. The protein scare is the biggest misconception about vegetarian diets. There are quite a bit of misconceptions so here are some web sites I think will help. The first is a list of vegetables with protein and how much the second are calcium sources in raw veggies. The third is an article about B12. It is actually a microbe found in soil and is abundant in seaweed, tempeh, miso, and root veggies. The last one is a list of foods with iron and how much.
