I started eating meat again about a year ago after I stopped taking care of myself and as a result became so desperate for iron that I eventually found myself in the drive-thru at McDonald’s ordering two cheeseburgers (I know, I know, four years of no meat and I start back on in the worst possible way).

When I first decided to be a vegetarian, that was it, I said to myself one day that I was done with meat and I was done. No slip ups, no cravings too difficult to ignore. It was easy as pie. However this time I’m finding it to be much harder; so I am having to take it slow. Decided to cut out beef first, as I already have a difficult time digesting it, and go from there.
