Maybe you are thinking of going vegetarian, you already are, or you just want to learn more about this concept. ]]> 2019-02-01 20:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bruizer50/d5zmef6qou9z/wish/326874196 bruizer50 https://padlet.com/bruizer50/d5zmef6qou9z/wish/326875048 There are many reasons people decide they want to go vegetarian. One of the most common reasons is to raise awareness of animal cruelty, other reasons include religious reasons, and health reasons. Dining into the healthy reasons there are many (when the diet is done right). Some of the health benefits include, but are not limited to, your weight will stay down, reduce risk of food borne illness, and having more energy.

This is pretty simple in hindsight, but when trying to find places to eat it can become a challenge. A different form of this is the pescatarian diet where you only eat fish and shellfish but no other meat. When on the vegetarianism diet you can still consume dairy products, if not, this is considered veganism where you do not have any bypass products from animals. For example, milk, eggs, yogurt, leather..etc. ]]> 2019-02-01 20:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bruizer50/d5zmef6qou9z/wish/326875081 bruizer50 https://padlet.com/bruizer50/d5zmef6qou9z/wish/328595450 The main area of concern is protein, but there is protein in so many vegetables that you can still get your daily intake. Knowing what foods, you can swap with meat is important because this will make sure that you are getting your protein. A good substitute is tofu! All though there are mixed reviews about it, when cooked correctly, you can barey notice the difference.

Tip: Try sofritas at Chipotle it is made with tofu.

When you stop eating meat there is a chance your body will not receive enough, but this is an important vitamin because it gives you energy, so be mindful of your daily intake to ensure you are getting enough. ]]> 2019-02-07 05:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bruizer50/d5zmef6qou9z/wish/328597532 bruizer50 https://padlet.com/bruizer50/d5zmef6qou9z/wish/329443478 Once you have decided to start the vegetarian diet you will have to have a game plan. There are two ways to start, you can pick a specific date, or you can gradually eat less meat until you do not eat any at all. A key component into making the transition easier is to eat at home first and figure out recipes you like. Next you will have to find vegetarian options at restaurants. When eating out (especially with the vegetarian diet becoming more common) there are many more options that are readily available. ]]> 2019-02-09 01:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bruizer50/d5zmef6qou9z/wish/329443478 bruizer50 https://padlet.com/bruizer50/d5zmef6qou9z/wish/329449406 As mentioned before one of the main substitutes for meat is Tofu. This is a great source of protein but be cautious since it is high in soy. Another great substitute is Tempeh which is similar, but it made with soybeans to build the texture. Otherwise there are plenty of veggie burgers, veggie hot dogs, and other vegetable replacements.

Another important step is gathering information about recipes and how to eat healthy on the diet while making sure you get enough nutrients. ]]> 2019-02-09 03:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bruizer50/d5zmef6qou9z/wish/329451332 bruizer50 https://padlet.com/bruizer50/d5zmef6qou9z/wish/329451984 An important step in going vegetarian is making sure you know what is going into your body. This is to ensure that you are still eating healthy and not just eating random non-meat items. For example, fries, potatoes, cookies, and cake are all vegetarian. but should not fill up your whole diet. ]]> 2019-02-09 03:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bruizer50/d5zmef6qou9z/wish/329451984
