Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I agree, go vegetarian at your own pace, there is less chance of failure this way. Do it for yourself and what you are comfortable changing. Pat yourself on the back for every meatless meal you enjoy. Donna Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. Shine on you crazy diamond. Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond.

Or until you decide, like many, many people I know, that they can still eat meat maybe 5 percent of the time, or a couple of times a year. This has helped many people I know deal with cravings. Others benefit from going 100 percent immediately and never look at meat again. A lot of people argue about this, but I think it's important to be gentle and kind to yourself. I've learned the hard way about going all-out with things. At any rate, just suddenly completely changing your diet can be a real shock to the system. While you can get through it, the stress, worry, and obsessing that some people go through trying to be " perfect " in their diet is probably causing them more harm than a burger or piece of chicken every few weeks would. Try tofu and maybe faux meat. I do like the " chicken-less " patties and nuggets, but I really don't eat them anymore. And yeah, the videos.
