Question for vegetarians...?

Question

I am a new vegetarian. Now, my question to you is did you ever get cravings for meat once you changed (this is if you were not raised vegetarian ofcourse) I have not had any.. It actually repulses me. I am going on just over a month... Could cravings still come? Or am I just all the sudden a vegetarian? It was like a switch for me... One day after I made a meatloaf, I had 1 bite for lunch of the leftovers and that one bite changed me... I would love to never have another meat craving again! Did you have any? And if so, how long after you turned veggie?

LOL princess, re read my question...LOL.. Thanks for your answer though...!~!

Answer 1

I've been a vegetarian for 4 years and have never had meat cravings. If i did, then it i would have ate the meat, and stopped being a vege. Do you really want to be a vege? I think you've really got to consider that....................

Answer 2

I have been vegetarian since 1979, and I have never once craved meat - it disgusts me. For the first few months I ate meat when away from home, as I could endure it without actually barfing if I didn't see (and smell) it raw, but it still disgusted me. I eventually decided the convenience of eating meat at friend's houses and the restaurants other people chose was just not something I could continue doing. I started telling people straight up, "I don't eat meat" when they invited me, and nobody made a big deal over it. So after that I didn't have to eat something that made me feel sick anymore.

But my advantage was that I didn't make an intellectual decision to be vegetarian and then try to force myself to stick with it. Rather I stopped eating meat because of the "dead" taste that was such a turn-off that I just couldn't put it in my mouth.

Answer 3

I cannot say that I am a complete vegetarian because once in a blue moon I still eat pepperoni. Don't ask me why, but my brain doesn't register pepperoni as "being meat" so I'll eat it. However, if I think about it too much I'll puke! Literally.

So, answering your question (and forgetting about the pepperoni *laughs*) no, I have never had a craving for any kind of meat. The process of weaning for me, if we can call it that, started when I was a child and my grandmother slaughtered pigs for family feasts. I hated to see those poor animals right before their deaths. Then poultry started repulsing me.

Yeah! I know I shouldn't be eating pepperoni either... but that too will go soon, I can feel it coming, the day when I'll have that one last bite of animal products.

Take your time and go slowly... there's no rush. Good luck!

Answer 4

Turning to be a complete vegetarian all of a sudden is difficult! U can try slowly by avoiding meat on 2 days say Saturday,Sunday .Then for Monday too and so on.. This could remove ur cravings for meat as days go by!
All the best!

Answer 5

I have occasionally had cravings, but never to the point of actually considering eating meat. I just think about my reasons for giving it up and that is enough to stop me eating it.

Answer 6

I hate the taste of meat so i never get cravings for it. Although, once i had a craving for a McDonalds hamburger. That was totally strange since i've only eaten McDonalds like twice in my lifetime.

Answer 7

It depends on the person. The only meat I ever have a hankering for nowadays is fried chicken, and the yen isn't strong enough to get me out of my chair, and is usually solved by eating something salty.

Answer 9
