A lot of the taste of meat is really the spices and sauces. Invest in a good collection of top of the line meat sauces and spices and you'll have less cravings for meat.

Meat is bad!!! I just thought I'd yell at you like you asked. Definitely my taste buds perk up and I start to salivate when I go over to my friends house and she's eating a roasted chicken. It's normal, it's just a challenge and you just have to remember where you stand!! It'll go away. I think :)

thanks guys. you guys are the best. i'll get alot of spices and spice up my homemade burgers. you are right, i can get that taste out of that. thank you again and thanks for "yelling" at me. it makes me feel better!

I have the same problem with eggs. It's not so much that I HAVE to have them, it's more like a comfort thing I associate with home and when the craving hits it hits HARD!!!

Tofurky brand makes a pretty decent Italian Sausage. I like it as a hotdog, but it would also be GREAT in spaghetti. And all because it's seasoned well. Also, depending on where you are you might be able to get some good vegan meats. there's a restaurant in DC that has fake meat that my meat-eating friend though tasted real, so you know it's good.

ooohh I love the tofurky italian sausage and I always put it on my pizzas and in my spaghetti.

DON'T DO IT!!!

i know what you mean though...i definitely go through times when all i want is a cheeseburger. often cravings can be your body alerting you, though, so maybe eating some spinach or broccoli or even taking an iron supplement will help reduce your cravings.

stay strong! lolz. drive out to the country and look at the cows. then imagine eating one of them. gross, huh? that kills my cravings. :)

Everytime I get a craving for meat I visit the PETA website. Whether you agree with them or not, I still gaurantee it will kill your cravings.

If it makes you feel any better, I have had this uncontrollable craving for mozzarella cheese for the past few weeks...

I think the key is just to be as strong as you can and keep telling yourself why you made this decision. It also helps to have someone supporting you; I know Andrew has given me "the look" every time he catches me drooling at a pizza counter.

I can understand totally, when we are raised that way and for years have trained our tastebuds for things like that...I don't miss eggs or beef really, maybe a steak, but like mudpuddle said, most of it is the spices! When it comes down to raw, plain meat I never craved it. I think about the horror stories I have read about animal treatment in slaughter houses and all of the crap they pump the animals full of. Also, it helps to think of their face and fear in their eyes when they face the slaugher house. I have a feeling cheese may be my craving, although I avoid it in every instance that I can.
