Showing an interest in becoming a vegetarian can be the start of a new healthy lifestyle, that can lead to a better diet, smarting thinking, and promote positive energy in your life. If this is your first time learning about vegetarianism or kind of have an idea what it is, you have come to the right place. This free guide has everything you need to know about becoming a healthy vegetarian and how leaving your meat eating habits behind, can make you and this world, a better place.

When most people think of a vegetarian, they think of a person that is from another planet. Vegetarians have not been very respected in this world. Why? because most of us were raised eating meat, and eating meat was said to us, that it was good for you, so why are we breaking the chain? There are several reasons why people become vegetarians, some are because of animal cruelty, others because of health reasons and some just because they want to try something new. Here you will learn why becoming a vegetarian is a smart choice and how you can live a regular life, just like a “meat” eater, when you become a vegetarian.

Becoming a vegetarian is more than just a change in diet, its a change in lifestyle. We have all heard the term “you are what you eat”, and its so true. The last time you went to McDonalds and ordered a Big Mac, Fries and a Coke, you most likely felt awful afterward, when you eat “dead” foods, you feel “dead”, with all your energy levels dropping and feeling bloated and tired. When you eat foods that are “alive” such as: fruits, vegetables, fresh pastas and legumes, you feel great afterwards and have a ton of energy.

Most meat eaters associate a vegetarian as person that only eats salad and vegetables for the rest of their life. That is one of the main reasons why most people don’t even think about becoming a vegetarian, give up steak! hot dogs! bacon! they feel as all the fun of eating will be taken away from them. Most of us know that a vegetarian diet is good for us, but we are afraid of losing our comfort foods and are scared of the unknown.

A recent Muscle & Fitness magazine cover, for example, promised “75 of the Best Muscle Building Exercises.” By contrast, Muscle & Fitness Hers, the female counterpart to the bodybuilder mag, featured thinspiration, including “The Skinny on Fat Loss” and “The Best Natural Appetite Suppressants.” The majority of advertisements touted fat-burning supplements, stimulants and weight loss products.

Men’s Health and Women’s Health magazines have plenty of overlapping content. Both recognize that both genders compete in marathons and triathlons, want great abs in 15 minutes and need nutritional guidance. But the editors use considerably different voices to reach their male and female readers.

“For Women’s Health, it’s a confiding, challenging, sisterly thing — equal parts encouragement, sympathy and advice. It comes from a place of ‘just us girls,'” said David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men’s Health and editorial director of Women’s Health.

“Guys tend to be a bit more bracing with their counsel, with a healthy dose of humor — plus self-denigration — thrown into the mix,” Zinczenko added. “First we laugh at ourselves, then we laugh at you, then we deliver the goods straight up, with an expert chaser.”

Women’s Health also uses a larger typeface than Men’s Health. Though it may be simply a design decision, larger fonts can elicit stronger emotional brain responses, according to a study by German researchers.

The direct “male” approach is what I find appealing. Men’s workouts are usually cast as a way to build a stronger body. Women’s exercises are given cute, superficial names, such as “The Wedding Dress Workout” or “The Bikini Body Booty routine.” Rather than sending the message that exercise builds muscle, confidence and improves mental health, the emphasis is on looking good. If your workout goal is to fit into a swimsuit, you’re using an unsustainable approach to fitness. But if your goal is to get healthy — which means incorporating it as a lifestyle — you’ll have a body that you want to show off.

Still, some women — and magazines — are catching on. At Details, where 32 percent of the online readership is female, there’s a growing recognition that “the gender boundaries in fitness studios and gyms have been blurred,” said Details senior editor Sheila Monaghan, who edits the health, fitness and nutrition section. “Fitness has become this sort of equalizer between the sexes,” she said. “Everyone wants the same results.”

Taking cues from the opposite sex

What women can learn from reading men’s magazines:

1. Worry more about building muscle than burning fat. Women “focus on working out with low weights and high repetitions, using weights that are significantly lighter than objects they lift all day long, such as children,” fitness trainer Tom Holland wrote in his book “Beat the Gym.” This increases the muscles’ endurance without making any meaningful changes. “It’s a waste of time,” he said.
