About a month ago, I was going to make a thread about how I hadn't eaten any meat in about two weeks. I decided not to as it seemed kind of live-bloggy. Here's what I had typed out though:
It's really not as hard as I thought it would be. I haven't been big on beef for a long time anyways, so the big loss is chicken and fish (which so don't consider meat anyways). At the beginning I didn't make any conscious effort to not eat meat, but after a few days of being meatless I just decided to see how long I could keep it up. I feel better - healthier - than I've felt in a while, even though I've been eating junk: Meatless junk, but junk nonetheless. Maybe it's some sort of placebo effect.
Anyway, I think I'm going to try to stay meat free or at least keep the meat intake to a minimum. The biggest thing tempting me to eat meat at this point in time is my limited menu. I've been eating close to the same thing every other day or every three days and it's getting a bit tired.
-bean burrito or Cheesy Potato Burrito sub xtra beans instead of the "beef" from Taco Bell
-black bean wrap at home
-onion or raisin/cinnamon bagles
-different kinds of salads
-Fuji apples and naval oranges
-Craisens
-store-bought cheese pizza with veggies (mainly spinach leaves)
-various Archer Farms meals found in the foreign foods section (the curry potatoes and lemon rice is the best I've had so far)
So a month later I'm back on the horse, but I stand by it not being all that hard though. I'm down to eating something with a face maybe two or three days a week.
It's a big change to make, good luck with it!
