Why? Was it hard? What do you eat? Why?Short answer, I watched Cowspiracy on Netflix. I couldn't believe how unaware a lot of people are (including myself at the time) about how big of an issue cattle is to the environment. Unfortunately a lot of people seem to have the attitude of "just because I stop eating meat won't end the problem". But in my opinion everyone could and should decrease the amount of meat they consume. I really wish that people would open their eyes and see what the cattle and meat consumption is doing to the environment. If everyone could just cut down on the amount of meat they eat or consider not eating it at all, it would at least be a small change in the right direction. How?If there's a will, theres a way. I took it week by week, after the first week without meat I thought I could easily do another so I did, and I kept going. By the time I had been meat-free for an entire month I didn't want to give up "the hard work" so I stuck with it. The first month was really about readjusting, my stomach obviously wasn't used to the new diet and it was making me super bloated. But now I'm fine, I feel so good. What do I eat?Giving up some my favourite foods like bacon, teriyaki chicken and dads spaghetti bolognese was hard but it's really not that bad. There's still so many amazing foods I can eat, because I still eat fish it makes it a little easier. I'm by no means a bodybuilder or fitness expert but I do train a fair amount and fish is a great source of protein which is why I still eat it, and because I love seafood.
As I still eat fish it actually makes me a pescatarian, but not everyone would know what that means, so I usually just say "I'm a vegetarian but I eat fish". I know theres a problem with overfishing and the oceans but I'm not ready to give up seafood quite yet.
