Do you become vegetarian overnight or taper off ?????

[Guest guest]

Im not vegetarian either... although i have cut out the amount of meat (red

specifically) that i eat.

I think the reason behind *why* you are/want to be vegetarian make the most

impact on if you taper off, or do it overnight.

Im sure my views are not shared by many on this list, as i still cook meat for

my family, etc... i dont eat meat for health reasons. My body cant handle it

for whatever reason, and i get very ill. But I think because I dont have an

ethical issue eating meat, it doesnt bother me (other than health-related) to

eat it occasionally.

however, if someone is not eating meat because of more 'ethical' reasoning, im

sure it would greatly bother them greatly to eat it.

Does that make any sense?

incorporating

more veggies into my diet and have a lot of respect for those who choose

to be vegetarians.

Having said that, I try hard to avoid " empty calories " (a phrase used

by a nurse during a recent hospital stay). I have noticed that some of

the recipes posted are pretty heavy on the butter (or margerine), other

oils, and sugar; those I would avoid or at least try to minimize!

I'm very calorie concious and keep track of every calorie that I eat.

I've lost almost 50 pounds in the last year, and its staying off.
