I am taking the "vegetarian plunge" again. I have always been a vegetarian at heart, even the years that I have eaten meat. Time to put that particular hypocricy to bed. I don't eat too much meat anyway, so that part will be relatively easy for me.
The hard part will be when I attempt to give up dairy, which I will, but not today. Probably not soon. But it will happen.
I've recently gotten inspiration for this change from the book "The Kind Diet" by Alicia Silverstone. I haven't read the entire thing yet, only the parts that I can read for free on amazon, but plan to buy it soon and commit to this lifestyle change, one baby step at a time.
The hardest part of getting healthier for me will be giving up my processed foods and refined sugar. I eat a lot of that stuff. But, for me, dramatic overnight changes have never stuck. So I will take baby steps with this.
First step is eliminating most meat products. No more beef, poultry, or pork. Will probably still allow myself fish for a bit. Will try to limit dairy, but can't commit to eliminating it quite yet. I will limit my processed foods, but not by much at first. I will have to learn how to cook!
Wish me luck!
