In regards to eating meat

[Zachary]

I am still not sure how I feel on the subject. I am kind of in the middle of experiencing the two polar opposites as far as diet goes...im expecting to find balance soon.

I was a vegetarian for about 4 months straight. I felt lighter physically and spiritually but also had a lower energy level as well as a lower sex drive.

^lesson learned: If your going to be a vegetarian DO IT RIGHT or eat meat...because doing it wrong is just not worth it...If I am going to become one again I will make sure I can consistently pull off eating the right foods.

Right now I am living in Costa Rica with a family here. I have very little money to spend so I pay them ten bucks a week for meals. They mostly eat

rice and beans in the morning

rice and beans with meat for lunch (maybe some fruit and veggies)

rice and beans with meat at night.

Talk about a dead diet right? not digging it too much but what I am digging is all the muscle I've put back on since eating meat. I have a way better energy level now. But I feel heavy and my thoughts seem more prone to becoming violent (in certain situations) now that I am eating all this meat again.

So right now since I dont see myself being able to pull off a proper vegetarian diet in the future...I will strive (for now) to eat maybe 80% veggies 20% meat (possibly 70/30). My meat source would, ideally, only be fish...I might do chicken as well. I think a good mindset is: if you can't kill the animal yourself...don't eat it. I would NOT want to kill a chicken. I dont even like killing fish but I will if necessary because I recognize the need to love my body.
