How to take the 30 Day Veg Pledge by saipansizzy

"Great!"

How I did it: I started on Jan 1st and just did not eat any meat. I still ate cheese and drank milk though. I completed the 30 days and it was over before I even knew it. I guess after about 2 weeks, you really do get used to it. I felt much lighter and had tons of energy. No stomach issues either. And the great benefit of losing some unwanted weight!

Lessons & tips: Smoothies in the morning make it easy to get breakfast out of the way. Remember to take a multivitamin or you might feel tired. Try not to cover everything in cheese and give tofu a try.

Good for you!

Feeling lighter is a great feeling, isn’t it? I have never gotten that heavy-full feeling as a vegetarian that I used to get after a big hamburger (for example).

Are you keeping up with it or was it only a 30-day thing?

Thanks!

I am so glad that I did do it. I have, however, gone back to eating meat. I noticed right away that it made me feel a bit pukey. Not sure if it was all in my mind or if my stomach had more to do with it. It is so much easier to just eat whatever the house has prepared, but I am definitely thinking about going back to it now. Do you eat fish? And do you ever get really tired sometimes? I think I was missing out on some nutrient or something during the 30 day because I was dragging some days.

RuckusMaker is going to get back on 43T, I promise!

Congratulations! I’ve been ovo-lactovegetarian for five years, and its one of the best things I’ve ever done. In the last two years I started eating fish, but rarely.
Let me know if you’re ever looking for some good vegetarian recipes!
