My goal is to become a vegan by December. I will report back when it happens.

When I move my father wants to own chickens. I told him I'll help care for them if they won't be slaughtered to be eaten (more of a bonding issue rather than eating them, as I'm not against raising chickens to be eaten if they live and are killed humanely) but I may consider eating their eggs. Not sure yet.

@OP why did it get closed the first time?

I started to try to be a vegetarian last summer in June and I lasted until December with ease. However, I developed a deathly soy allergy and had to stop. Usually I'd eat soy products to make up for my protein, but the allergy basically eliminated that. Right now I've eliminated red-meat completely (mainly because I have a sensitivity to anything that comes from a cow) and pretty much relying on fish for protein. Having a nut allergy too makes it hard to find food that provides enough of your daily intake for protein.

I hope to become a full vegetarian soon, I really do.

I was a vegan for like 3 months and I caved in and had a burger

I turned vegetarian May of 2010, and vegan June of 2011, and have been ever since. Best decision I ever made to be honest.

You should definitely try eating more beans and other legumes, such as lentils. They're full of protein!

That's a tough situation, but, like TheNight said, stick with legumes, beans, lentils, etc. There's also quinoa and other grains, hemp protein and pea protein. Working around nuts and soy is admittedly difficult for a vegetarian or vegan, but it can be done.

I would definitely look online for more information, resources and recipes as well.

That'll probably be something I start doing when I'm on my own. My parents already have a tough enough time accommodating all the allergies I have (soy, nuts, red meat, anything with birch pollen or ragweed pollen, and a few types of grains) that this was only add more trouble to them.

I've been a vegetarian for 5 years, and was a vegan for a good month or two but caved in and had pizza (just because I love pizza so much) Now I'm basically an on and off vegan, but I really do want to become full-time vegan! I guess for me it's just hard financially to fully commit to it.

A vegetarian for four and a half years and counting.

I have been thinking about becoming a vegetarian for years now. I'm just...no discipline. How? Help!

I want to become vegetarian now that I have a job and will be getting my own money, but I'm prety much uneducated on that topic and have no idea where to start

How does one go from eating meat to becoming a vegetarian? I find it hard to give up certain foods
