I'm starting to feel sluggish. Sure, it's probably the fact that I have a cold that has made it's way down to my chest, or the fact that my wedding is in 10 days... but I feel off. Usually when I feel this way I take a step back and look at my diet to reevaluate things. Yes, I could totally be eating healthier and exercising more, but even on the days/weeks I commit there is still something off. My joints are out of whack, my feet hurt, my energy is way down (no I'm not prego)... and that's when I remember the 2 years I was a vegetarian. I felt really good most of the time (digestive system was like clock work) and when I stopped feeling good I ate meat again... and felt great.
So I'm thinking I'm at that point to go back to the Veggie side given that my body reacts to change so well. After my wedding filled with Italian meat, and the honeymoon filled with South African BBQ of course!
So what about you? When you change your diet, whether it's going from no meat to meat, or all of the sudden no dairy, how do you feel? Does the change last or do you have to just do it in spurts?

Girl, seriously, last week I had my wisdomtooth pulled out and I was recommended to eat soft and compact things (in other words: not a lot of green smoothies with greens swishing in my mouth). So I ate pasta and rice and toasted bread, cheese and other milkproducts and I already feel the difference. My skin is breaking out, allergies under my eyes are unbearable and the list goes on. Then I remember why I eat as rawvegan as possible!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon and congratulations on your wedding!
If I totally take meat out of my diet I feel sluggish. I have to make sure I get appropriate protein to compensate. After my pregnancy I plan on going vegetarian but I'm going to do a lot of research before hand.
ReplyDeleteI´m into mixing meat with veggies. I don´t eat pork and seafoods and when I do cook chicken or beef, i love to mix it with veggies.
ReplyDeleteI actually felt my worst when I was aveg. I think it's because my iron was so low.
