I’ve made the following list and covered every single objection you are going to hear when you start the Vegetarian Lifestyle. Here are the answers you’ll need to deal with jealous meat-eating accusations.
Accusation #1: Isn’t a Vegetarian Diet too hard to stick with?
Answer:
It’s a lot easier than eating at McDonalds and feeling terrible and tired all the time.
And it’s a lot easier than spending money and time on make-up to cover the acne and blemishes on your complexion.
Plus it’s a lot easier than dying from colon cancer 20 years early!
I promise you that you’ll find the Vegetarian Lifestyle to be easier and more convenient than any other diet you’ve ever tried. In the Easy Veggie Meal Plans QuickStart guide, I’ll show you exactly how to get started on this simple and easy plan.
Accusation #2: Vegetarian diets are too expensive!
Answer:
Not true! In fact, you’ll save a LOT of money by switching to a Meat-Free diet. A pound of chicken breasts cost $4.49 in middle-America, but a can of ORGANIC black beans or chickpeas costs less than HALF of that. In fact, Men's Fitness magazine (May 2009) declared black beans to be the cheapest high-protein food you can get at the grocery store.
Accusation #3: I can’t eat a vegetarian diet. It sounds so inconvenient.
Answer:
Literally takes just minutes to create amazing vegetarian meals. It’s much faster than firing up the stove or BBQ and putting in a big slab of meat that takes 30 minutes or more to cook!
Plus, even when you’re traveling it’s much easier to eat vegetarian foods rather than relying on roadside diner greasy spoon meats, or worse, risking illness by trying to transport meat around in containers. That’s a food-illness nightmare just waiting to happen!
Accusation #4: My friend at the gym told me vegetarian diets don’t work for weight loss.
Answer:
From my husband Mark to the all of the clients that have started following my meal plans, not too mention all of the celebrities in Hollywood and even the pro athletes who are now following the Vegetarian Lifestyle, it’s time for haters to stop denying the powerful results you can get by eating a vegetarian diet.
You won’t look sick or pale. Instead, you’ll look younger, more vibrant, and your skin and energy levels will dramatically improve with the vegetarian diet.
In fact, you’ll be able to eat even more food than ever before because the Easy Veggie Meal Plans fill you up with delicious food and keep you satisfied between meals.
Accusation #5: My trainer says I can’t get enough protein on a vegetarian diet.
Answer:
First of all, excessive protein intake is highly over-rated for health, muscle building, and weight loss.
The myth about how we all need to consume mega amounts of protein was started by the supplement companies who make a big profit selling you processed cow’s milk at a huge mark-up.
After all, whey protein is just a by-product of milk. It’s nothing fancy or special, and doesn’t cause magic muscle building or fat loss.
On the other hand, in the Easy Veggie Meal Plans, you’ll find delicious meals powered by high-protein (yes, high-protein vegetarian foods DO exist!) foods such as legumes, seitan, beans, nuts, vegetarian protein powders, and healthy tofu products.
But you have to be careful, some protein powders and tofu products are low-quality, that’s why we recommend on the best in the Easy Veggie Meal Plans. You’ll easily meet all of your protein needs with the proven Easy Veggie Meal Plans.
Accusation #6: You can’t get Vitamin B12, iron, or calcium on a vegetarian diet.
Answer:
This is a real concern, HOWEVER it’s actually quite easy to meet all of your needs for these nutrients.
Of course, we highly recommend that you talk to your doctor about your specific vegetarian diet needs, but according to Dr. T. Colin Campbell who wrote the China Study, our bodies store enough vitamin B12 stores for 3 years.
And you can easily consume fortified non-dairy milks such as rice milk or fortified cereals or even a good multi-vitamin to get this and other nutrients. Make sure your daily supplement contains at least 10 micrograms of Vitamin B12.
Fortified foods will also help you get all of your iron and calcium needs. Plus, the best non-dairy sources of calcium include dark, leafy greens like kale, Chinese greens and broccoli. Other foods like legumes, almonds, and figs can also provide significant amounts of calcium in your Vegetarian Diet.
Accusation #7: My family says we were meant to eat meat and that being a vegetarian is unhealthy.
Answer:
Whether or not we were meant to eat meat (and many prominent doctors and researchers believe we are plant eaters), there is one thing that everyone can agree on…
We were NOT meant to eat factory farmed meat.
Animals raised in the factory-farmed environments are heavily treated with antibiotics and are raised in crowded, disgusting conditions that produce inferior quality meat causing high levels of inflammation and disease in the body.
On the other hand, vegetarian weight loss diets and the Easy Veggie Meal Plans help reduce inflammation and help you live longer and with more vitality.
"Vegetarians have the best diet. They have the lowest rates of coronary disease of any group in the country ... they have a fraction of our heart attack rate, and they have only 40 percent of our cancer rate."
William Castelli, M.D., director of the Framingham Heart Study, the longest-running clinical study in medical history
Accusation #8: My friends say that I’ll have no energy on a vegetarian diet.
Answer:
Not true!
You’ll have more energy than ever. Gone will be the tired, lethargic feeling you have after eating a meal rich in meat and processed foods.
With the Vegetarian Lifestyle, you’ll be consuming easy to digest foods that don’t leave you nodding off 30 minutes after you eat. With the Easy Veggie Meal Plans, your meals will be full of life, not dead hunks of meat!
Every day there are athletes setting new records while living a meat-free diet, and even playing professional sports. Athletes like Mac Danzig (UFC fighter) and perennial NFL Pro-Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez are proving that you don’t need meat to achieve peak performance. In fact, even Gold Medal winner Carl Lewis has been a vegetarian!
"My best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet. I regained my energy. I was drinking 24 to 32 ounces of juice a day. I ate no dairy products. And I had my best year as an athlete ever! Moreover, by continuing to eat a vegan diet, my weight is under control."
Carl Lewis, Olympic Gold Medalist
