Hello and a question (about being turned off meat)

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

 

I don't think I've posted here before but some of you might know me from other

lists/the forum. I'm on step 1 and used to find meat a really great breakfast

option, but more + more I'm finding turned off by it. I feel I might eventually

end up vegetarian with very little struggle on my part - I think I would feel

closer to my soul's purpose that way... if that doesn't sound too silly.

 

In the meantime, I think I struggle to digest legumes and nuts (can obv.

investigate more in step 2), so I'm not ready to totally make the switch, but I

am turning more to veggie breakfasts like just a shake + some rice.

 

I wondered if anyone else had had this " I'm not sure I want to eat meat for much

longer " feeling kind of creep up on them? I was veggie for a while in my teens,

but it was a very conscious choice and a struggle and after 3 or 4 years I

eventually lapsed.

Hi Diane,

Nice to meet you   Deciding to move toward vergetarian slowly evolved for

me over several years before I made any significant changes.  Like you say,

closer to my soul's purpose.  Making changes didn't happen til I'd been on

step 7 quite awhile and then it seemed to sort of happen naturally with almost

no effort over a period of a year or so.  T " he longer I've eaten the RR way the

more comfortable my body has become with beans and legumes.

Hi Janice, Nice to meet you too

 

Thanks for your reply, that's really interesting, especially that your body

become more comfortable with beans and legumes over time. For now, I feel a pull

in that direction but no desire to immediately take action (other than perhaps

not having chicken for breakfast anymore).

 

I guess I'll just see how things go for now.

 

Thanks,

 

Diane

Hi Diane,

I'm new to this list too, but " old " in RR. I've been on step 7 for about 3

years. Just like you I feel a pull towards vegetarian food. My body seems

uncomfortable with too much meat, especially red meat. Like you I was a

vegetarian in my teens, and early 20s, but I can't see myself as a total

vegetarian again. Mostly because it's hard to find protein sources that hold me

as well as meat does. Beans work best, but I don't want to eat beans every day

*smile*.

 

Good luck with your breakfast!

What vegetarian foods are you exploring Lisa?

 

I had some very nice roasted tempeh the other day with whole garlics.

 

Yesterday I made a discovery in the shape of okra, not a veggie I am usually

keen on since I found them a bit gluey at an Indian restaurant years ago.

 

Well I saw some in the supermarket, took them home, and sliced them diagonally.

I tossed the slices in gram flour with chilli powder & turmeric mixed in, then

fried them in sunflower oil for a minute or two at high heat.

 

Not bad!

Hi Lisa,

 

Yes, it is more challenging to find enough protein from other sources, that's

for sure. I am looking forward to experimenting more on step 3.

 

Beans every day would certainly be too much!

Hi Mel,

Beans and chickpeas seem to work best for me. Usually I'll make a simple stir

fry or stew with beans and veggies served with rice. I've also experimented a

bit with lentil burgers. In a soup or stew lentils don't hold me, but the

burgers seem to work. I'm staying away from soy for now since I'm nursing.

 

I usually love cooking, but the baby takes a lot of time so cooking needs to be

quick and simple. That makes it less fun, so I'm not that excited about cooking

right now

 

The okra sounds interesting, I've never tried it!

I love beans and chick peas.

 

Sometimes I just throw them into some fried spices with a tin of tomatoes!
