Don't Be Another Ex Vegetarian
As a longtime vegetarian (15 years) I've encountered and spoken to many people who have at one time or another been vegetarian or vegan but ultimately reverted back to their original diet. As it turns out, most people that I've talked to failed because they didn't really understand what they were getting themselves into in the first place. Some folks have said they felt sick, others craved their favorite unhealthy food, but none had taken the necessary steps to ensure a successful transition to a better diet.
The easiest no-brainier type method to eating right is to make reasonable and delicious substitutions of bad foods for their healthy alternatives. If you have been a big hamburger eater, substitute a scrumptious black bean burger or portobello mushroom patty. Instead of milk pumped out of a cow try soy milk, almond milk, or rice milk. If you can't go without those beloved yet bizarre meat concoctions namely hot dogs and chicken nuggets, luckily in todays modern age we have stand in veggy alternatives such as soy chickenless nuggets and meatless hot dogs. And no one should have to give up ice cream and that be the end of it so there is--and in ever increasing varieties--great tasting soy ice cream that is just as fine as any dairy type, yet infinitely more healthy.
Eating is one of life's great joys and a vegetarian diet can can both help you live longer and give you something better to eat while your here, but that's not going to happen without a little smart planning. So remember don't remove bad foods from your diet without substituting new ones because that surely is the road to ruin.
