Today is National Vegetarian Day. I am not a vegetarian, I do eat chicken and fish but this is a wonderful day to celebrate and compliment the individuals who are committed to the vegetarian lifestyle. Since I have been eating 50% raw, I have decreased my intake of flesh tremendously. I am strongly thinking about transitioning in the future.
If you are considering becoming a vegetarian there are many health benefits such as more energy, reduced risk of cancer, heart disease and obesity. Your skin and hair will truly benefit as well.
The transitioning process does not have to be difficult if you are thinking about eliminating meat from your diet. The following tips should help.
1.Take Inventory – Write down everything that you eat for a week. Highlight any meat that you consume. Set weekly goals on reducing your consumption of meat.
2.Set Goals – Create goals that are comfortable for your lifestyle, remember this decision is yours and yours only.
3.Create a Menu – Once you make the decision, it is important to stay organized, this is a lifestyle change, it takes about four weeks to develop a habit. A menu will help with organization and accountability.
4.Journal – Write down your accomplishments, feelings and setbacks this will help you stay on track.
