Over the past couple of weeks, I have been contemplating becoming vegetarian... I'm most concerned about eating a balanced and healthy diet, and is this REALLY possibly without eating meat? If so, what do I eat that will provide the nutrients traditionally provided by meat?

oh man... i just went vegan a few weeks ago... it's realy easy, the food is better, and i feel incredible... plus i've already lost another 8 pounds... so i've lost 38 pounds since last year...
umm... i just eat lots of hummus, hummus wraps, tabuli, lots of vegetables and fruits, brown rice, peanuts, pistachios, tortilla chips and salsa... and you're gonna want to get iron supplements and multi vitamins.
good luck!

bleh. iron element is only in the meat.
idea ? the idea is that people were created to eat meat, thats why you and we all have teeths.
vegetarian is something against evolution, but yeah, its cool its trendy nowadays.
who knows, maybe i will become a buddhist ? or no, i want to be hary krishna. or even elvis fan ! yeah !

It's possible, I know some pretty plump vegetarians. But don't do it, Paul. A diet without meat is like a hamburger with the actual hamburgery part taken out, leaving two buns slathered with condiments. Useless.

hey marlowe, congrats. you can get a free vegetarian starter kit with some tips and recipes here... they'll send it for free. if you want further motivation to stop eating meet, feel free to take a peek at any of peta's videos of slaughterhouse operations. might as well know where your food comes from.

i think it's very possible to have a healthy diet without meat. the only nutrient that'll be hard to get is b12, and you can take a supliment for that.
..i think it's b12.

Yeah, it's a lot to do with the fact that meat these days seems to be totally corrupted and full of diseases. I'm not sure if veggies are much better, but I normally buy organic anyway! I'll check that site out - thanks CheefulPeddling!

I've considered it but I don't care enough to cause anyone else any bother by going veggie so I'll reconsider when I go to uni next year. I don't think it's really any healthier particularly but I figure since I don't enjoy food that much, I might as well save some animals. What tragedy said doesn't sound too good though, I can't afford to lose weight.

I was vegetarian for a little over two years before going back. I just totally stopped caring. I didn't feel any healthier and I felt like I was missing out as far as food goes. Not for me.

it is actually vitamin D that you are thinking of epohs, but your body can produce that naturally from exposure to the sun (ultra violet exposure). i was vegetarian for about 6 years and vegan for a year or so. if you eat balanced then you wont have any problems at all.

the people that piss me off arre those that have sunday dinnerrs without veg and have a burrgerr forr theirr lunch each day etc... and expect to become vegetarrian. if you like yourr veg then therre is no rreason why it should be harrd orr unhealthy once you get into the swing off it. getting into the swing off it is the harrd bit.

I stay well away from watching these slaughter videos because I do not want to know about the vile ways my lovely food is made. I will continue to gorge myself on KFC and the likes in happy ignorance for the rest of my life. Awesome.

I don't even eat that much meat as it is -- the occasional plate of sausages - sunday dinners at my mum's is usually meat-oriented, so that may be a bother.

I don't eat land animals or birds, but I eat fish, eggs, milk and cheese. I also don't eat any junk food like chips or sweets like cookies and things that come out of snack machines, and no fast food. I eat big breakfasts, a small lunch, like a salad or some fruit, and a normal dinner. I didn't plan it that way but I've been doing that for a couple of years now... I'm in good shape, and I excercise three times a week, I would probably have a pretty healthy diet, If I didn't start drinking White Russians at 3 PM, then pounding beer till I pass out. But you know, do whatever makes you feel good.

no, hummus is chickpeas... and it honestly tastes really good. it's my favorite food right now.
you spread it on flat bread (like you would peanut butter on a piece of bread) then you put lettuce, shredded carrots and shredded cabbage on it... and then fold it into a wrap.
