Veggies by Force...

[Brittany]

So I decided to try out bein' a strict vegetarian (as per liferegenerator @ youtube) for this weekend, starting today. It seems kinda hard, do u guys just eat nonstop? I'm still hungry and I've eaten a ton

To be honest, I barely eat, anyway. I don’t get hungry nearly as often as I used to. For me the highest difficulty was psychological. My brain was used to finding meats and complex carbs the most pleasurable type of food to indulge, and to suddenly go without it caused some mental frustration. I’ve almost cried a few times because I was really craving meat and I literally couldn’t chew it. It was like the whole thing turned to ash in my mouth. I guess I’m fortunate to have whatever force is contributing to this change in lifestyle to back me. After a few weeks I’m used to it and don’t feel so deprived. I no longer feel like I’m on a diet…this just feels natural.

I still eat fish on occasion, btw. Also, I try to eat a lot of beans and whole grains to get carbs and proteins. If you’re eating nothing but apples and carrots, you really are going to get hungry because your body isn’t going to get all the nutrients it needs. Nuts and avocados have a lot of the healthy fats that your body needs. Also, taking a natural multi-vitamin might help.
