The people advising a steak are retarded. Start slow and work your way up. And even then, stick with well-done steaks until you want to maybe try the idea of rare/medium rare.

Well, in America(USDA) is is NOT an urban myth, there is different grades of meat for different types and different purposes. It is like saying every steak will be the same, or every filet mingon is the same amount of lean-ness or marbling. Your country may not grade your meat, but that doesn't mean it is an urban myth.

Good luck! Wanna go in depth as to how you've spent 20 years as a vegetarian? I'm at about 1/10 of that. Was that since birth?

Yeah I've been a vegetarian since birth. I was vegetarian for religious reasons at first (relating to Hinduism), but then I became an atheist. At that point, I was only a vegetarian because it was a part of my routine. Now, I feel the need to move on from that and try new things in life.

Well, you don't need to take suppliments and you don't need meat for protein. And meat is really bad for you, all types.

The idea that someone would actually eat meat for health reasons confuses me deeply. Like just the fact that it's going to rape your system when you start should be reason enough not to.

How could meat be unhealthy lol? Humans are designed/evolved to eat meat and you can NOT be in perfect shape without lots and lots of meat.

so many things wrong in all of the above?

of course you don't need to take supplements and you don't need meat to have adequate protein, but you gotta really plan your vegetarian diet very well and be very careful about it. it's not just protein that's an issue if you go vegetarian.

and how is meat going to rape your system? i'm gonna postulate that it's more of a psychological thing than anything, i don't see how your body can un-adapt to being able to digest meat well. the digestive tract has a very large reserve digestive capability to begin with, and almost everybody produces the same digestive enzymes. i don't see how the vegetarians are physiologically different from meat-eaters. whenever you eat meat i'm sure your body will be able to cope with it no problem.

and obviously to the above post, it is clearly possible to be in really good shape without "lots and lots of meat". that's just absurd.

anyway, some on-topic advice, my girlfriend was vegetarian for many many years until she decided it was inconvenient, so we started with me buying her a box of chicken mcnuggets. haha. most un-meaty, processed garbage ever, but that was quite a manageable starting point for her.

a few weeks later she went on a holiday with her family to mongolia and she said all the meals served there were largely meat dishes, and she had no problems coping at all.

so to the OP i wouldn't really worry that much, sure, everybody's saying take it slow, eat tiny amounts to start off, but i'm sure you just need to get your mind used to the idea of it and you'll have no problems at all
