Why humans can digest me

Surely if we have the ability to digest meat thenmeant to eat it6

&eat eating is an option for us when no other opavailable.

In the past, sometimes humans had no option bu

consume animals to stay alive particularly in theparts of the world.

!owever, if we can go to the grocery store and eand conveniently get large varieties of fruits,vegetables, grains, cereals, nuts and seeds, then

is no need to eat meat.

What about %rotein6

!uge misconception 2 animal meat is protein and anythvegetarian is not protein. This is not true1

7%rotein8 consists of 9 amino acids.

$nything edible has at least one amino acid and nothing9 amino acids (e4cept for man made protein powders.

The best amino acid pro+le is egg whites with amino

$ll we need are the essential amino acids. :iven an abof these , the body can make the other '; amino acids.

Vegetarian foods and combinations supply the essentiacids easily and more.

The Transition %hase

So if it0s so good for me 2 why do I feel weak andwhen I eat vegetarian6

Decause you are giving up a powerful addiction body has to ad#ust to getting nutrition from the nsource.

-ou will probably feel worse before you feel bett !ow long you feel 7not good8 will vary from pers

person and your karma.

Transition %hase (*ontinued

So the trick lies in getting through the period of discoafter which one will feel e"ually as good if not better when one started.

Some people switch to a vegetarian diet in one go anlook back. This is "uite challenging and doesn0t usuawell as most people who try this break down and go

eating meat with a vengeance. I recommend a gradual phased approach also incorpo

reducing consumption of the more evolved animals +

This approach allows the person to eat a meat meal really feel like they need to.


16/28

@volution $pproach

Geduce the consumption of more evolved anima(red meat, mammals.

Then when no red meat is being consumed, reduconsumption of poultry (chicken, turkey etc..

Then when no red meat and poultry is being con

reduce seafood until no animal meat is beingconsumed.

@ating less evolved animals reduces a lot of thenegative e/ects of meat consumption so even ifdon0t become fully vegetarian, you can lessen th

negative impact on the world and yourself signi+


17/28

%hased $pproach

Geduce the number of meat meals gradually. =or e4ample, start out with cutting out meat at brea

but still eat it for lunch and dinner. Then after a weeof doing this, eliminate meat from both breakfast aand only eat it at dinner. @ventually eliminate it froas well.

$nother way to phase out meat is to have a meatconsumption day and then the ne4t day would be avegetarian day. $fter a week or two of this, have twvegetarian days between a meat day. Heep increasnumber of veggie days between meat days.

%hased $pproach (*ontinued

$lso reduce the meat portions at each meal. Instead of one

breast eat half a chicken breast with e4tra portions of the vparts of the meal. Heep reducing the meat portions with tim

It is important to be able to distinguish between the habitufor meat from a 7real8 re"uirement of the body to consume

$llow yourself a meat meal when your body 7really8 re"uireThen continue with vegetarian meals after that. @ventually

body0s calls for meat will reduce and become non e4istent. Fnce you have reached one month of no meat at all, you c

for being more strict and not having any meat meals at all e4tended period. $fter 9 months of no meat, you can attem7never8 eating meat again.


19/28

%artial Vegetarian

%artial vegetarian is better than no e/ort at all. @very meat eater could reduce their meat consu

by half easily. That would have a signi+cant impatheir health and the world.

Eon0t get too caught up in the label. Instead of s

am a vegetarian8, think of it as 7I am making heeating choices8.

$llow yourself mentally to have the freedom to eif you really want to. This will, parado4ically, maobsess less about meat and make vegetarian ch

easier.

!ormones and Vegetarian EThere is some truth to the 7wimpy8 stereotype associate

vegetarians.This is because of the drop in testosterone that occurs t

vegetarians when they transition but it is not the vegetadiet0s fault1

@ating meat causes you to ingest the animal0s hormone

This causes your own body to produce less hormones anused to producing less hormones as it is getting them frmeat.

So when you transition to vegetarian, you are left with alevel of hormones as your body is not used to producingamounts> particularly testosterone in men.

!ormones and Vegetarian E

-ou can take herbal supplements that increase ybody0s testosterone production.

I would recommend taking a saliva hormone testmonths of continuous vegetarian eating andsupplement accordingly.

!ints and tips

It0s all in the mind. It is easy to psych yourself out. Geminyourself that there are many vegetarians in the world whohealthy and productive. Ignore the fear of possible de+ciethat may come up in your mind.

When the desire for meat comes upon you, think of the sof the animal being served as a meal and how it must havbegged and pleaded for it0s life. $lso think of the blood an

it0s slaughter. @ating oily fruit like avocado reduces the desire for meat.

the desire for meat is strong, eat an avocado and see how minutes after that.

Take some deep breaths when you feel your mind giving

!ints and Tips (*ontinued

Eon0t be too strict on yourself. If you really need to meat, do that and then go back to a vegetarian diegoing to be a gradual process for most people.

De gentle on yourself during the transition phase.Gemember that you will feel better than ever once over. If you are used to doing intense e4ercise, redu

level of e4ercise during this time. -ou can pick up thonce the transition phase is over.
