How can I support my husband who is becoming a vegetarian?

My husband of 9 years is becoming a vegetarian. Due to health issues, I cannot go vegetarian myself. I am allergic to many nuts and seeds and I become very ill if I do not ingest the proper proteins. How can I support him so I can help him in this and possibly help save our marriage?How can I support my husband who is becoming a vegetarian?
If he's just going vegetarian because he wants to then he's kinda being ridiculous because he's not thinking of your health and how much effort it can be to make two dinners and be conscious of everything that goes into it. If he's going vegi because of his health then it's understandable. If you can try tofu. It has lots of protein and you both can eat it in a pasta, salad, lasagna, stir fry and so much more.How can I support my husband who is becoming a vegetarian?
I would buy some really good cookbooks. There is one called meatless meals that is really good. The Fit For Life Cookbook is really good, but very time intensive for a lot of the items. But if you put a lot of time and energy into trying to find some good recipes that he likes that would be very helpful. You can alter the way you eat by cutting down to just skinless chicken, and research other proteins. Hemp is a fabulous source that you may not be allergic to. You could change the way you eat to try to support him, (not the nuts though obviously), and that would show him you really care, by going without your favourite things too. In the long run it will benefit your health as well, and be something you have in common. Maybe signing up together for a vegetarian cooking class, or a gym together too. He may feel alone in this since its being forced on him for health reasons, so you just being a friend to him and trying to accomodate his new lifestyle, why altering your own as much as you can, may give the two of you the common ground you need to work on your marriage. Good luck to you! :)
I am vegan and rarely ever consume nuts or seeds. It is really a poor excuse. Being vegetarian and vegan supply you with the best protein there is. Protein derived from animals so HORRIBLE protein. It is not meant for the human body. The best thing you can do is go vegetarian right along with him. That would be the upmost commitment you could make to him.
This is definitely something that shouldn't break you marriage up. I can understand that it will be difficult but keep strong :)





try including some asian vegetable stir-fry meals [nut free of course]


or some nice salads like caesar or greek


Vegetarian filos are available from good delis which are very very very tasty





and if he isn't getting enough protein from nuts a you cannot have them, then maybe a protein supplement would keep him helathy.





good luck!! :)
Do some reasearch on vegetarian diet/health/cooking. There is a lot of protein in other foods besides meats. Educate yourself and then fix foods where you can sub meat for yourself from time to time.





There are fast foods like ';chicken'; nuggets that don't contain any meat and they taste the same as rel chicken nuggets.
Are you allergic to beans?


You do not need to eat nuts and seeds to be a healthy vegetarian. If you want to support your hubby then research and find recipes that you both are able to eat. Cook with him, eat with him and keep the non-veggie items that would tempt and test him the most out of the house.



support him the way you would support him with anything else! you should both learn how to make meals that will accomidate both of you (on taco night, make a batch with meat and a batch with tofu, don't put meat in your lasagna, buy regular hotdogs and tofu hotdog) so that even when you are eating together, you are still eating the same things.
You're the one with the health issues. He's the one who should be asking this question about how to help.
support him by swingin over to TACO BELL and stuffin him with sum fully loaded nachoz wit extra beef and nacho cheez
eat lots of steak in front of him and tell him how awfull it taste
