Been a vegetarian for a month, after being a life long non vegetarian. Ask me anything :)

How did you do it? Want to do the transformation, mainly because I only started eating meat as an adult. It tastes fucking amazing, but now I feel I'm over it, and at least for 95% of the meals I should avoid it (I feel it creates extra load on my digestive system) Please give your tips folks. Would love some help

Is it because of religion or parents or ethical or environmental reasons?

Ignoring foreign countries - I am sad when I saw people in India adoption non veg habits- I didn't understand when people are eating so they don't even realise pain, emotions, soul, that animal also a mother or father of small babies who wanted to live in fresh air and enjoy with their parents. When I saw Animal i feels proud because we are so strong we are so configured and gifted beautiful hand eyes and legs gifted by our god and mother so it's our duty to help and support speechless animals who can not enjoy life like ours, Now humans thinks we are so smart and can kill any animal and enjoy the taste. Animal waste thrown directly to river and harm for everyone - species living in water and same water we are drinking, In cities every dustbin is full of death bodies of innocent animals eaten by Humans. In today's era where we are talking about space, chat gpt,12 Lane highways Development, Artificial intelligence So why not we can create artificial alternative food of non veg and essences and stop pouring blood of innocent animals in Sewage System. And we can concentrate planting trees for better tomorrow for our child instead, Appreciate green farming instead of poulatary farming. Be Human, Be Humble, Be Creator over Destroyer- Take Care.

I hit gym regularly but my gains have stagnated a bit. My gym instructor told me yesterday my gains would be much better if I improve my diet. Can any vegetarian/eggitarian share their diet plans here? As of now I just eat whatever I feel like cooking on that day and supplements like protein shake and glutamine. Any help would be appreciated. 👏

Guys, I recently switched to a startup that is operating fully remotely, where I am working as a software engineer. This is something that I consciously chose as I personally liked working from home. I have 2 years of experience in this field. In my earlier job, I was working from the office in mumbai, so I have lived in the suburbs of mumbai for around 1.5 years. I am turned 25 just a few months back. I come from a small town in Rajasthan. I do have a bsnl fibre connectivity at home, which gives good enough internet connectivity as well. Living in a small town and with parents is great. I save almost all of my salary. Now, here comes the confusion - being early in my career, i feel like I should live in the city, like bangalore, explore more things, but since I already lived in mumbai, to be very honest I didn't liked it to that extent as I am not the party guy, and too many people make it more worse, traffic I am not even considering. I am kind of very simple. Home to office and office to home, on weekends maybe go to temples and explore some places around. I also have food choices, which makes it more difficult to survive. Like I am pure vegetarian and don't even eat onion/garlic, nobody in the home actually eats it. No offence to anyone, but I feel extremely uncomfortable when i am asked to eat at restaurants where non-veg is surved during company offsites and all. Now, just for the context, it's not that I never lived away from family. Actually, I am staying away from my family from very early school days, like 8th/9th standard. And somehow, I managed it all during all those years. That is one of the reasons that makes me feel as if I should spend more time with my parents. What would be your advice for me so that I don't leave behind in my career and at the same time live a balanced and happy life. Also, considering my context, which city would you recommend me to relocate to? Or should I not even think about it?

I realised that I have gained a lot of weight recently and wanted to do something about it. I have some small back issue so can’t work out a lot. Tried intermittent fasting with 16:8 and lost some 2.5 kgs with just that and cutting heavily on sugar. I want to reduce more, so for last one week, I am only eating lunch (2 eggs, 4 rotis with ghee and one vegetable) Internet has mixed opinions on this. Talked to one healthifyme nutritionist but their agenda was to sell me something than actual suggestions. Want to understand from this community, if you folks have done something like this and how good/bad could it be.
