Vegetarian Does Not Have To Be "All Or Nothing"

Written by Melanie Mendelson


Many people contemplate becoming a vegetarian at one point or another. Some consider a meatless diet because they feel sorry forrepparttar animals. Others think a vegetarian way of eating will improve their health.

However, out of those well-intentioned people very few actually follow through and change their way of eating. The idea of completely giving up meat forms a big stumbling block for most.

For some reason, when it comes to vegetarian cooking, most people only seerepparttar 115132 "extremist" approach: either give up meat completely or you might as well includerepparttar 115133 meat in every meal. This "all or nothing" thinking becomes a mental barrier that keeps a lot of people from eating more vegetarian meals.

How about finding a happy medium? Drastic changes to one's diet never last. Do not beat yourself up for eating meat. There is no need to give it up completely. Just try eating a little less of it, that's all.

Start right now by making one meatless dinner every week. Keep everything elserepparttar 115134 same. Eating just one vegetarian dinner every week is definitely doable and easy. It will be just a nice change instead of deprivation!

If you think going meatless one day a week would not make a big difference, consider these simple numbers: if everyone ate vegetarian meals just one day a week, it would save one out of seven animals. Out of 92 million animals that are consumed inrepparttar 115135 United States alone every year, over 13 million animals would be spared. This is a huge impact!
