Hi! I’ve been vegetarian for 6 years (ethic reasons), but lately i’ve been experiencing some health issues and decided to become pescatarian. I ate a few shrimps and tuna. The heavy feeling in stomach was one thing but the guilt oh my. I’ve been feeling guilty ever since i tried fish for the first time in 6 years. After three days i decided to not eat meat ever again. But now i feel guilty for even trying it T_T Any thoughts about it from you fellow vegetarians? I tried to talk about it with my friends and family but none of them are vegetarians so they don’t really get it. I just want to kno ..read more

Went vegetarian because of my rabbit Cosmo, who I found abandoned in front of my apartment building. I also read today that the average American eats 7,000 animals in their lifetime. I’m about a quarter of the way through and intend to remain vegetarian. If I hadn’t, that would have been ~5,250 animals in the rest of my life. It’s amazing that such a small bunny could make such a big change in my life and the lives of so many other animals too. I am so proud of him ❤️ wanted to post something to thank him for helping me find a better path submitted by /u/Cosmo-bun [visit reddit] [commen ..read more

In 2020 when I was 20, I watched a documentary called “Dominion” about the meat industry and how they kill animals and immediately switched from being an omnivore to being fully vegetarian. I did that for about a year until 2021, and since then I’ve been on and off with eating meat. Here’s why I want to be a vegetarian (or maybe pescatarian): -the thought of eating meat disgusts me because I remember it’s muscle/tissue and I think of blood and other bodily things -I keep hearing that meat is bad for our health -it feels wrong to raise animals just to slaughter and eat them when we can eat oth ..read more

I was wondering if there's any certain kinds of food I should avoid ? Mostly like cakes, since they contain dairy , or any other sort of baked goods ? I'm guessing bread counts to . Not eating certain foods is easy for me , but I was wondering how do people avoid them all ? I have no idea what to not eat besides eggs , milk and meat , just the basics , but when it comes to foods that could possibly contain those foods , I have no idea . I'm not currently only eating vegetables/fruits since I don't plan to jump straight into it , but slowly cut off foods instead . Most the food I eat is noodle ..read more

LET ME MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR HERE I'M NOT INTERESTED IN EATING MEAT OR INCREASING DAIRY INTAKE IF ANYONE HAS ANY DIETARY ADVISEE PLEASE STICK TO PLANT BASED FOODS. Hi I've been vegetarian since I was 12 and I'm in my 3rd year of college right now. My major is biology because I'm studying to be a vet but I'm struggling with getting high grades. I use the best study methods and follow all of my teachers orders but I never feel like I'm proficient in the material. I've also struggled with mental health in the past but it's gotten a lot better so I don't think it's that. I don't think my diet coul ..read more

I've eaten meat in every meal for the past 18 years of my life so I just replace the steack in steack-fries with 2 scrambled eggs and quite a lot of pumpkins seed (way more than shown in the picture). Nothing much but as I have to learn a whole new collection of recipes i'm think it is decent. submitted by /u/LeShasseurFou [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm a new vegetarian and I'm trying to replace chicken with tofu, but I must be doing something wrong because it keeps having the texture of a sponge. I tried 5/5 rated recipes, should be good right? Or is tofu supposed to be like that, do I just have to get used to it? I had to throw away so much unchewable tofu already it's such a waste. I need help ?. I've found a new recipe that I'd like to try out, and replace the chicken with tofu. The recipe I'm trying out is a simple curry with lentils, rice, coconut milk, paprikas, union and yellow curry paste(not sure how to name it in english). Any ..read more
