Vegetarians/Vegans If I am an avid meat eater...?

Question

but sometimes love the fresh change of all veggie dishes, what can I eat to get satisfied. I recently went to an Indian resturaunt, and got full. I would love to continue experience these types of dishes, but I don't think I could handle a life of curry powders and such.

(I am not bashing a vegan or veggie life, I just want to supplent my lifestyle and figured this is the best place.)

Answer 1

There are tons of ways to enjoy veggies. Many times, Chinese cuisine has a lot of vegetarian options as well (that will save you from getting burned out on the Indian spices).
Veggie soups can be very filling and so can veggies with rice or veggies with pasta (brown on both varieties, of course!).
If you like Hispanic food, you can try a veggie fajita (they always fill me up!) or a veggie burrito. (Just say no to the refried beans - they have a lot of fat).
As someone else mentioned, vegetarian cookbooks have a lot of good ideas too!
Good luck! :-)

Answer 2

I like Indian food, you should try Thia too :) Yum lots of veggie dishes as well. Same with Japanese (but it'll cost you to fill up on Japanese food since they serve such SMALL portions if you go to a traditional style place). Mediterranean too and Middle Easter food is yummy as well, Mmmmm Turkish food YUM!

Answer 3

I think your doing great, your diet is variied and you eat plenty of vegetables. Dont change, your fine, keep it up and just go to your Indian Vegetarian Restaurant once a month. The vietnamese has lots of Vegetarian restaurants too.

Answer 4

Buy a vegetarian cookbook, they usually have plenty of recipes which just use replacements to meat.

For example, beans or tofu
