In the 2 weeks eating fish, vegetables, fruit, carbs...I gained a crapload of weight. So, because I'm shallow and hate feeling like a puffer fish and looking like one, I decided to stop. Now, I'm absolutely positive there are ways NOT to gain weight when becoming a vegetarian...however, I am also on medication to shrink a tumor in my brain which also keeps my wacky hormones in tact and I don't know if maybe that has something to do with it or if I was just on a carb overload. I'm also pretty iron deficient and I found myself even more tired than usual.
I'm apparently not as disciplined as I thought at my age and kind of just wanted to eat whatever I felt like eating. So...all in all, I love the thought of it and I definitely think I'll continue a few times a week of no meat, but my body did not react in a way that felt good to me.
So, there you have it. My fail at 30 days with no meat. But a win for trying.
