5 Steps to vegetarianism

It's official I have finally made my way back to vegetarianism and I am so excited. It has been a wonderful and fulfilling journey so far and I can't wait for more of this journey.

I know starting off for me way hard so I wanted to give 5 steps to vegetarianism.

Step 1:  Pick your type

The first thing you want to do is determine what type of vegetarian you want to be. There are serval types of vegetarianism, they range from full out to not really at all.

Step 2: Make a meal plan

Once you have picked what type of vegetarian you would like to be next you want to put together a meal plan. When in this transition it is better to have an idea what you are going to eat. Nutrition Facts Labels will become your friend. You will start realizing that these fast food places have nothing for you. You best friend is going to be the grocery store. Here is a great starter diet for a beginner vegetarian.




Step 3: Find your store

As I stated the grocery store will be your best friend. If you have a kroger in your area they have a amazing natural food section. If not look for the whole food stores in your area. Places like Trader Joes, GFS, etc. focus solely on natural food and our type of living. If are a beginner I would advise starting with kroger or your local grocery store because those whole food stores can be overwhelming.

Step 4: Clean our fridge and go shopping

This is going to be the most fun of all the steps. Cleaning our your fridge and cabinets is key. You want to get rid of anything that does not go with your new diet if you can. Leaving that one stake in the back for hard times is not what we are aiming for. Now the best part is going shopping. When you get to stock up with all healthy new interesting food it feels so good. Quorn is the best brand I've come across but you'll find you fav.





Step 5: NEVER LOOK BACK

I started this journey for a better me which I'm sure is the case for a lot of you. Last and final steps is to stay true to your journey and never look back. You've already made it pretty far by getting her so don't stop now. The finish line is as close as you want it to be so keep coming.



Vegetarianism will be a very rewarding life (once you get through withdraws). Make sure you stay true yourself and never give up. It will be hard sometimes but remember to stay strong and you'll make it.
