So, please don't forget your own health!

I don't think I can ever fully become a vegetarian, but it's really not that hard to cut out meat from your diet. I have a vegan suitemate who I can ask for vegetarian tips and recipes when I get back to school for you. I'm gonna tell you right now that beans and spinach are gonna be your best friends, especially if you have issues with your iron.

A few people have recommended quorn to me but I don't think we get that in Canada so I'll have to search for something similar.

Prepare for stupid questions from meat-eating people, ranging from 'but doesn't that mean you just really hate vegetables?' to 'isn't a chicken a vegetable?' (Honest to God, I've been asked both. More than once.)<br /><br />I advise trying Quorn or Linda McCartney foods - espec. since you're going to need to keep your protein up. Beans and lentils are a saviour for both iron and protein - try bean burgers, or kidney beans, if you're not a big bean fan (like me. I don't really like many beans.)<br /><br />Don't let anyone tell you your choice is wrong in any way - they can take a running leap. :)<br /><br />Good luck. I'm sure it'll go fine :)Cee Arr @ Dora Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074909561530525221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-73371087367138546072017-01-04T15:30:18.833-05:002017-01-04T15:30:18.833-05:00Thanks Lais!

I'm very picky when it comes to eating, especially vegetables and things like that. Basically, I still eat like a 5-year-old, hahah.<br />However, I think it's amazing that you're thinking about the environment and not pushing anyone to follow your decision. In my family, we tried to stop eating meat twice a week. We can't keep it up every week, but I believe every step counts! <br />Once again, good luck! I hope you can keep it up for the next year. Just don't worry too much and don't forget to pay atention at your health! :)Laishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487450872139325468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-1347725875823173062017-01-04T12:13:57.811-05:002017-01-04T12:13:57.811-05:00Wow this is so awesome!

My twins are basically pescetarians, but underweight, and so I try to give them chicken from time-to-time. They complain. <br /><br />Anyway, I enjoy it when book bloggers deviate from bookish content to give readers some insight into the personality behind the blog. Great post! <br /><br />[AMB, The Misfortune of Knowing- For some reason, I can't seem to comment as myself!]Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676170603750422415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717251772632628978.post-39646060066348935252017-01-04T10:01:28.575-05:002017-01-04T10:01:28.575-05:00Good luck with it Emily!

I still eat fish as well - but I'm lactose intolerant and allergic to eggs, so I avoid those (and if I ate more veggies I could totally be vegan) - because it's one reliable source of protein for me. I'd recommend looking into a herbal iron supplement, as if you don't eat a lot of iron rich foods constantly it's very easy to develop a deficiency. And also be sure to listen to your body! If you're craving meat there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating a burger one day and then being veggie the rest of the week - even just cutting down on the animal products you eat can help, and there's no point letting yourself get ill for the sake of one burger. It doesn't make you a bad person. Also, I'd eat up any non-veggie things you have before making the switch, as wasting it is worse than eating it, in my opinion. Means the animal died for nothing - not even food.<br /><br />But yeah, best of luck and if you need any tips feel free to ask, even though I'm probably the worst vegetarian out there haha :PCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068135640413650969noreply@blogger.com
