Vegetarian for 10 years. I didn’t like the idea of eating animals and I never liked the taste. I don’t miss meat.

i’m a vegetarian but i tend to eat ‘normal’ foods, so things that regular meat eaters would also eat. i always use olive spread, not butter so that might be helpful for you. i like salad rolls and sandwiches, spaghetti and garlic bread with tomato sauce, rice with sweet corn and peas and ‘veggie balls’, really recommend quorn sausages, even though i’m not much of a fan of quorn it’s definitely worth a try. i eat all regular cereals and as for a sunday roast I just have lots of veggies with gravy and yorkshire puds. love veggies on pizza, and from the chinese i get vegetable chow mien and egg fried rice, and from the indian i get vegetable curry. as you can see these are pretty normal foods and quite easy to make, not hard at all! i wish you all the best, going vegetarian was the best decision i’ve ever made xx

I’m virtually a vegan because I don’t eat much dairy. I’ve been getting some unfortunate side-effects from eating a lot of lentils, beans etc 😳 I will transition eventually.

ive started opting for veggie fingers instead of chicken and things like that! my mum used to be vegetarian for 12 years so we try to find alternatives where my dad can eat meat and we can eat veggie but we are having the same meal if that makes sense?
thank you for your suggestions!

wow, maybe you're right. All this time I've been saying I'm vegan but still eating meat because I'm not that bothered. what a waste of time. You've changed my life

that’s a really good idea. it definitely helps if someone else in your family/household is also vegetarian. i’m so proud of you! it’s a step in the right direction for sure. are you liking the vegetarian alternatives so far?

Vegetarian, for about a year and a half. Decided to go veggie as I always felt guilty about eating animals, then I watched this documentary about the meat industry and abattoirs and never wanted to eat meat again. I hope to go properly vegan when I'm older and have moved out, but at the moment I've swapped dairy for oat milk on my cereal to try and cut down a bit.

In my opinion becoming vegan is a bit too far
I don't mind (nor discriminate) the people who choose to do this though.

From what I have actually seen, extremely 'healthy' vegans (not all) have huge amounts of Vitamin deficiencies and I don't think it's a good idea to do this to your body especially when eating dairy food is accessible (meats - not so much possibly due to religions). In fact in some religions, the cow's milk is considered holy.

Vegan for 6 months because of health issues, compassion and animals. I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I don’t have to eat meat/meat products but I know that it’s not an option for everyone. I do all my own cooking and live in a house where everyone else eats meat but to an extent I don’t mind because I believe when it comes to decisions about your life (when you are old and capable enough) you should be able to do what you want (as long as it doesn’t hurt the people around you). I don’t really eat too much beans/lentils but I still make sure I get a lot of protein each day because I do a lot of strength exercises
