Hi all!
First of all THANK YOU SO MUCH to those of you that took the time to comment on my first post of this experiment!
I really appreciate the support and that you took the time to share some thoughts, tips and experience with me!
If you didnt read the start of this experiment and you want to see what it´s all about you can go here: http://bit.ly/2v6tKmN
So DAY 2 of my adventure is over and this is how it went:
Did I manage to not eat any meat or fish? -- YES!
WHAT DID I EAT?:
- I had oatmeal w/blueberries and walnuts for breakfast
- A jalapeno veggie burger for lunch (bonus: no fries!)
- Nuts and dried berries snack
- Tacos with some weird meat replacement, chili beans, home made guacamole and lots of fresh vegetables for dinner.
I bought this "taco meat" replacement in the store. It was made of some pea protein or something. Dude, the taste, smell and texture was really crap! Next time I think I´ll just stick to only the chili beans!
Also, again today I had one slice of cheese (on the burger for lunch) But as I said in my initial post, going 100% super strict vegan is not my main goal for this first week. Main goal is NO meat and fish.
HOW DO I FEEL?:
I feel quite the same as normal so far, but there were a couple of things I noticed today.
- I´ve had really bad heart burns. I have no idea whether this has anything to do with eating only plant based for 2 days or not.
- I´ve been sweating more today than I usually do. Again, no idea if it´s connected.
Anyone with same experience or any insight in possible connections?
So, the first two days have been quite easy!
UNTIL TONIGHT..! I suddenly started craving all sorts of crappy food and snacks! I opened the fridge and there was a really nice salami in there... Oh my.. BUT I withstood the pressure! :) High five!
Tomorrow I´ll hopefully have some time to experiment on doing some VEGAN BBQ in my smoker! I will take some pics and post the result. Who knows!? It might be epic! :)
Again, thank you SO MUCH for engaging in my adventure and please keep supporting this experiment!
Sharing your experience on living a plant based lifestyle will be of great value to me!
Until tomorrow - Peace, Peter
You turned down salami late night?! Props man. That's impressive. I wanna see what you put on the grill, looking forward to it!

Im on the same way. Watched the documentary "what the health" on Netflix. The movie talkes about the meat industry and how it affects the people, and create sickness. The movie states that meats causes diabetes (not sugar), and canser. Im on my 8th day now, and im still going strong. have been eaten a little bit of fish, and cheese, other than that no animal products at all.
Good luck, and feel free to watch the movie. it may help you to stick to your plan

Oh wow, I'm so glad to hear that you are managing to achieve your targets mate! Keep it up!
The heart burns is surely the beans and pea protein @cryptopet, nothing to worry about! As you said eating some nuts or having a yoghurt will help a lot!
Cheers

I feel much better. I am loosing weight as well. I am 100% positive this is the best for all humans. It is hard when it comes to lunch and restaurants have limited options. What got me finally started was the Netflix Documentary called What the Health

Haha. That´s so funny! What the Health was actually the one that gave me the final motiavtion to give it a try! :)
Great to hea that your feeling better and loosing weight.
Are you doing 100% vegan?

Yes at the moment 100%. If I goof up it is because I was unaware of an ingredient. See we have a lot in common. LOL

Cool :D
I'm having a visit from my sister in law who's a vegan, and shes substituting everything that should have been meat with meat-like soy or tofu or whatnot. I'm eating vegan this week because she's here, but why would I need to replace the meat with non-meat that looks like meat when I'm a vegan? Isn't the whole point not eating meat? Why is it so important putting in things that LOOK like meat? I don't get it! :)
It's allright with vegan food, although I'd never go full retard myself. I would always eat fish, cheese and eggs. A life without that holy trinity is not worth living in my veery humble opinion :)

Haha, yeah I dont know why it has to look like meat.. :) Kind of funny.
This first week I´m trying to be more or less vegan but I´ll see were I land after a while.
I think a 100% superstrict thing is not the best way for me. We´ll see.
The Holy Trinity is quite sacred for me as well... :)

I'm not vegan, but I can help with the heart burns - try eating 4-5 almonds.

Yes, I usually eat some almonds as well when I get heart burns. Helps most of the time! #kjærringråd :)
