I am in my 40s, and would love to hear some advice on how to become vegetarian. Any tips or tricks that helped you? I don't want to be 100% vegetarian, but am considering incorporating many of the vegetarian-lifestyle aspects into my daily eating regimen. The only caveat is that I don't enjoy fish, but love fruits, veggies and legumes. I love eating lean meat, and am not sure if I will "never" eat this again, but would like to make it more of a monthly occurrence instead of weekly. And, perhaps, this means I could not call myself an official "vegetarian"...?
What does it mean to be "vegetarian"? It seems like there is almost a sub-culture of vegetarians...that is is not just about not eating animal products. Perhaps it depends on the reasons (ie, "against" eating animal products vs. eating for health).
Thanks! I look forward to your advice and suggestions.
