Hi, can you guys help me? With this vegan/vegeterian question?

Marketing Strategies

First, you need to learn to cook and be ready to cook for yourself on a daily basis. You also need to learn how to do this properly, so that you don’t harm yourself in any way, shape or form. Yes, a vegetarian and in particular a vegan diet is much healthier for you, and yes, vegetarians and vegans tend to live longer lives than do omnivores, but that’s provided that they make the correct changes. It’s easy to do, though.

PETA has a starter kit with lots of information for converting to a vegetarian diet. You can probably get it through their website. But basically, start slowing, and build to it gradually.

I’m including some book titles, etc and a couple of websites that will help you. Make certain that the others in your household have a chance to read it as well. They worry about you and about your health, for one. And you just might help to change their minds if they understand.

Marketing Strategies

Eat a variety of “whole foods,” with plenty of beans, nuts, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Avoid unhealthy foods like trans fats, which are usually listed as partially hydrogenated oils. Deep-fried foods often contain trans fats. Choose margarines that use nonhydrogenated oil, like Earth Balance or Smart Balance. Although a diet consisting of Coke and French fries is technically vegan, you can’t be healthy if you eat nothing but junk food. Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is produced by bacteria, and some experts believe that vegetarians used to get plenty of this vitamin from bacteria in drinking water. Since drinking water is now treated with chemicals that kill the bacteria, it’s important to make sure that you get enough vitamin B12 from fortified foods (like most brands of soy or rice milks, some breakfast cereals, and many brands of nutritional yeast,also eggs and milk) on a daily basis or by taking a sublingual B12 tablet of 10 mcg per day

Iron-beans, dark green leafy vegetables (like spinach),whole grain breads, Also eat something with vitamin c when you eat something with iron, it increases absorption

Calcium-dark green leafy vegetables (spinach, broccoli, soymilk)

Protein-Isn’t really hard to get, just eat a variety of foods, good sources are beans, brown rice, nuts, whole grain breads, soy foods

Omega-3 fatty acids-flax seeds/oil,walnuts,canola oil

Zinc-pumpkin seeds (best source), beans and lentils, yeast, nuts, seeds and whole grain cereals

Selenium-Brazil nuts are a particularly good source of selenium, so try to eat a couple every day. Eating a small bag of mixed unsalted nuts can be a convenient way to get your daily selenium intake, but make sure it contains Brazils. Bread and eggs also provide some selenium.

well to be honest it doesn’t sound like you want to be a vegetarian that much because if you wanted to that much it would be easy to stop eating meat as it’s what you really want. i really wanted to be a vegetarian and i jus stopped eating meat just like that, it was easy for me.
