Start by orienting yourself with the “no-meat” policy but never announce it to everybody else. Keep this to yourself first so that when this policy didn’t quite pan out, nobody would know except you.

Start by eliminating red meat first; try it for 2 weeks to give time for your stomach to adapt to its new lifestyle. After that, try to forego white meats; the last to bid goodbye are the eggs and dairies. Just wash, rinse and repeat the process. It is also best to prepare meals at home so you can fully control what goes in to the dishes you cook rather than questioning the waiters in the diner extensively.

You can use substitutes like tofu, TVP, tempeh, gluten and veggie meats that are amazingly at par in taste with the real thing.

All though being a vegetarian is good, you have to work on being healthy as well. In the process of avoiding animal products, we may not get the proper nutrients that we need but this can be supplemented as well, we just have to be conscious about it.
