Becoming a Vegetarian.. AGAIN !?

When I was in MS I was a Vegetarian & Pescatarian for 3 months each. I'm now 18 and I can buy my own groceries. I cant eat meat anymore it doesn't matter who makes it, my body does not like it. It makes me feel like throwing up every time.

How can I start this again ?! any TIPS etc ?!

    Go online and search for a free vegetarian starter kit. There are a lot. I know that PETA makes a good one. That will give you a little bit of reading to start off with.

    Oh, and you should read this

    Personally I think its best physically and mentally to do it gradual. First week, stop buying milk and buy some soy milk, instead. You'll need to try a few brands and kinds till you find the one you like best. Week 2 – 5: stop buying red meat, then pork, then chicken, then fish. The next step is to start avoiding dairy, like cheese and yogurt. This step is a little tough because they put milk and eggs in all kinds of baked goods. So you may need to do this step in steps too.

    A lot of vegetarians eat milk and eggs but try to avoid them as much as possible. Milk and eggs are still animal products and are not only bad for your health, but their industries are just as cruel and bad for the environment, too.

    Sometime during the first month you should visit the library and take out some books about being vegetarian. You should get some cookbooks, too, especially, if you like to bake.

    If you like podcasts check out the Compassionate Cooks site and podcasts, they are really great to listen to in the car or while working out.

    If you like movies you can watch "Forks over Knives" and "Earthlings" for free online.

    Oh, and at some point you should learn about tofu. It’s a pretty important component to a vegetarian diet.

    You can make this as easy or as hard as you wish. But really, step-by-step and its pretty easy.

    im a little confused by your question, are you trying to become a vegetarian again or wondering why you cant eat meat anymore?

    being a vegetarian is not difficult, products like morningstar and boca make fake meat that provides good protein and helps with meat cravings. Other things like nuts, legumes and beans also provide alot of protein. Its important to get iron and protein in your diet.
