Become a vegetarian: use these tips for a smooth switch to a meatless diet: an interview with Neal Barnard, MD.(Interview)
Q: I'm ready to become a full-time vegetarian. What's the best way?
A: There's never been a better time to switch to a totally meatless diet. Grocery stores and restaurants have more meatless products and more types of fruits and veggies than ever. But if simply taking the first step seems daunting, here are ways to make it easy.
1. Think of three dishes you already eat regularly that happen to be vegetarian--perhaps spaghetti marinara, vegetable stir-fry, bean burritos, lentil soup and hummus.
2. Choose three other meals you enjoy that could easily be made meatless. A meat-filled lasagna transforms into a spinach lasagna. Beef fajitas effortlessly become vegetable fajitas. Chicken curry readily converts to a hearty vegetarian curry.
3. Select a few new vegetarian dishes you'd like to try, such as black bean enchiladas, eggplant manicotti, baked portobellos--you name it.
Now, you have nine meals that you enjoy and that happen to be vegetarian and healthful. That's more than enough to keep you going for a while.
