My Meatless Update.

OK, so...  since my post of going meatless a little under a week ago, I am proud to say, I am still... meatless!!!  #GoMe

I am not going to say it has been easy.  Well, the meatless part, not the problem, but I was also attempting to go no dairy, and no sugar.  Remember the inflammation post... The Game Changer.

In order of how much it hurt?  Sugar was the big 'ole #1, with Dairy (my cheese!!) a close #2.  Meat...  meat was bringing up the rare (uh, I mean rear) lol, at a distant #3.  Going meatless was the easiest.  They have SOOOO many options and besides, I absolutely LOVE veggies!  All shapes, all forms!! 

Going meatless was like going gluten free for me.  With the numerous options out there and all that variety, it is really not a huge challenge.  My biggest difficulty is the whole sugar thing!  Truth be told, I licked a cupcake today.  Yes, you read that right.  Can't have the cupcake, all gluten, but...  that frosting!  ;)

And full disclosure, I did have 3 pieces of brie cheese on dried apricots at a networking event on Tuesday.  Cheese is also hard.  I really do enjoy cheese.

I did however purchase some vegan cheese yesterday, tried it today, and...  not terrible!  :)  I bought gouda, mozzarella and cheddar.  I told you...  I love my cheese!  ;)

What I plan to do, is one full post will be all the options I would recommend, and I will link to them.

Another great article, if you are interested, or at least curious on going vegetarian is on Harvard Health.  More to come...

Be Well,
