So I’m trying something new for health reasons.
Actually, I’m closing out my fifth week of it.
I removed meat from my diet.
My blood pressure the last few times has been borderline hypertensive. My weight is higher than it really needs to be. I always felt sluggish after eating a meal with a lot of meat. I also felt like it took so long for me to digest.
I know I wasn’t eating the right proportions of meat to vegetables. My meals were always meat-heavy. So I made a conscious decision to just cut it out all together and leafn how to eat the veggies I so often avoided.
My pressure is down closer to normal the last time it was checked. I lost about 3 pounds. One thing I wasn’t prepared for was how often I’m in the bathroom! Fiber, man, fiber! But I can honestly say I do feel better. I have no idea how long I’m going to keep this up. So far I’m not missing meat. I do wish veggie bacon tasted better though. Either way, let’s see how long this lasts…

Good luck! Your health is worth it. I gave up meat (except for seafood) for Lent. I may follow your footsteps. 🙂

In the long run it’s worth giving up heavy meat meals. At least include chicken, and fish in some of them. Include enough protein in your daily food intake. I used a free Loseit app for weight loss and it kept track of what I ate daily in calories, grams, milligrams of CHO, Protein, and Fat. Good Luck! Christine
