Im a vegetarian. Have you ever tried being one?

Question

Ok well i was a vegan for about three months it was hard. And most of my friends think im crazy because i am a vegetarian. They say they can't live without meat. But my real question here is have you ever tried becoming one.

Answer 1

I never tried. While reading about health, I just gravitated to grains, beans, fruit, etc, and realized I was a vegan. 13 years later, I've progressed to 70% fruit! YeHaaaaaaaaa!!

"People are carnivorous"

This shows how little you know of this topic. Carnivores eat only animals. Even cats aren't carnivores: They'll eat a little grass and leaves, and I've had cats that ate tomato sause, popcorn(non-buttered even), and one that liked banana.

"tons of people that I know that think I am nuts "

No one I've known thought I was nuts.

"do believe that we do really need to have meat in our bodies"

I do. But I call it muscle. Seriously, Name ONE thing in meat that I don't get.
Are you getting Vitamin P?
Pectin?
Selinium?
Vitamin K?

Answer 2

Oh yes, It took me a year and a half to become a full vegetarian. I have tons of people that I know that think I am nuts for being a vegetarian, but after seeing the things that I saw a lot of them would be vegetarians if they saw it too. I have quite a few that say they would never be able to live without meat. I have been a vegetarian for about 5 yrs now!

Answer 3

I haven't, but most girls I know have tried being vegetarian at some point in their life. I don't really love meat so much that I can't understand why someone would want to be a vegetarian, but I do like it. I have been thinking of switching not to vegetarianism but to a diet that only includes meat that has been raised organically/free range and that has been humanely killed. The treatment of animals before they are killed and the way they are slaughtered are my biggest objections to eating meat.

Answer 4

I've been a vegetarian for years and there's no way I could have the discipline to become a vegan. I can easily live without meat. I feel better, I have more energy and meat is so hard to digest- plus it's cruelty to animals. Have your friends watch a movie called, "Fast Food Nation". They'll be so grossed out, they won't ever want to eat meat again- especially fast food, which I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

Answer 5

Well....since you are asking this question in this section, most of the people that are here are either vegetarian with the exception of a few trolls and meat eaters that come in here to show stupidity.

I am proud to say I have tried and succeeded being a vegetarian.

Answer 6

Personally, no.

I lift heavy weights 4 times a week and need to maintain my muscle mass. By becomming a vegetarian I will limit my body with the protein it needs from meats such as poultry and fish.

However, my mother has been a vegetarain for the past 20 years and she is only 100 pounds (she is very small).

It is a good idea for people that wish to loose weight and keep it off.

Answer 7

I tried becoming a Vegetarian ones, I didn't do so well think I made it about a day .

Answer 8

No, I haven't. I simply have no desire to. That said, I admire you for doing it. If you make sure you replace the protein and iron you lose from not eating meat, then it really is a healthier way of living. Make sure you eat nuts and beans. They help. I guess soy is pretty good for that, too. When I'm dying of heart disease when I'm 60, you'll probably be in great shape! Good luck to ya!
