How can i be a vegetarian and survive in the south?
LeeB!
As an African American in south Louisiana, soul food is life! I decided to become a vegetarian in order to lower my blood pressure and my weight permanently. I'm also hoping that i can help with my depression.
How can i get through the holidays and family gatherings without fried chicken, barbecued ribs, meatballs, gumbo, spicy chili and even my sister's meatloaf? And what about seafood??? Fried catfish, trout, craw fish, shrimp...need i go on?
Please help. I've never even gone one meal in my life without some form of meat. I don't know where to start. Wait. I can't eat turkey either! Or rice dressing. :(
And what about spicy?? I love spicy chicken, chili, beef and everything!
Wow McB! You really are from the south!!
I'm not obese. I just don't weigh what i'd like to.

With lots of help, and fortunately for you there's lots available!
I have been vegetarian for over 11 years now, and let me tell you, you won't actually be missing much. I will explain. :) There are "meat replacements" for pretty much everything these days, and there are usually vegetarian recipes to fill in the blanks where there are not.
Barbecued ribs, meatballs, chili, hot dogs, chicken, spicy chicken nuggets, bologna, burgers... all of these have vegetarian versions that are delicious! What makes spicy chili spicy isn't the beef, it's the spices... replace 1 lb. ground beef with 1 lb. TVP in your favorite recipe and voila you have your chili you love! I LOVE spicy food -- trust me I know. :) Tacos and Sloppy Joes - same thing. :)
I don't know a lot about seafood options, other than tuna salad, because I never was a seafood fan, but they are out there as well.
Just relax and go about it the same way all great things are accomplished in this world... one step at a time. You can do this. :) It's a great choice for your health, as I am sure your doctor has told you!!
My advice... don't overwhelm yourself. Start this week by cutting meat out of one meal per day... next week, two meals per day. Build yourself a repertoire of options so that you do not feel that you are being deprived. You won't be deprived, in fact, chances are your options will increase exponentially as you enter this new adventure with an open mind.
Good luck and enjoy!
