Vegetarian For A Week — Results

So I went a week without eating a single piece of meat… sorry Bri.

The results were fine. I lost two pounds. Some of it was really difficult, but I managed. And I did stay away from meat that I normally love to have.

Some meals included:

• Spaghetti with sauce and bread (had once)
• The pipe noodles with cheese, bread (had this twice)
• Panara cheese and broccoli soup bread bowl (had this twice)
• Grilled cheese and corn (had once)
• Pancakes, eggs, and biscuits (had once)

The hard parts:

• Eating spaghetti with no meat
• Being very picky as to where to go out to eat (ate at Panara and Bob Evans)
• Scrapping the toppings off the meat lovers pizza at work
• Not eating chicken that Monique brought in for lunch
• Not eating the same meal as Brian

The good parts:

• Sauce and bread
• Panera
• Caramel frapuchinos

It was a pretty positive experience for me. I never really ran out of food ideas because I was always willing to just eat a vegetable and something else small. And I wasn’t craving meat during or after.

My first meal on Sunday consisted of BK’s breakfast burrito which I love. We also did steaks that night. I really did miss meat but I never like craved it. Shawns steak after a week without meat was the best, though!

This experience probably did change me a little. I noticed I don’t eat as much meat now, since we had ribs last night and I didn’t eat them all. Bri and I will probably eat more sea food now, like shrimp and fish. Being away from fast food probably did my body good, too.
