Vegan Diet Report
So I’m one and a half weeks into this vegan diet and I have meat cravings. It’s the slight smells that drift around the office at lunch when my colleague cook themselves lunch. Torture!
For two days I had egg cravings, today it has been for curry. Lovely Butter Chicken curry. I would kil… Actually I guess I wouldn’t, though this gets tougher and it’s only been 9 days!!
I would say the hardest is eating out. I’m new to this and it is hard for me to even know what’s in the food listed on the menu and I feel like such a fool asking. So far so good tho, last night out for dinner and didn’t compromise, go me!
I think in future I will allow dairy and egg in my meals if I eat out as I don’t want to cause to much disruption. Of course if I find on the menu something bean Ill take it, but I’m not going to bother making up a meal to cater to my vegan beliefs. Not yet.
Today before going to the movies with my brothers I was highly tempted to chow down on some curry from across the road. I had thoughts “you can be a hypocrite Jordan, just do it, go get curry. Eat some meat”. It seemed so easy, so tempting. Instead I found one piece of bread left in my stash and toasted it with Vegemite on top. The craving passed, don’t really want curry as I write this. Feeling full after some more toast with Marmite on it, for my b12; as today I learnt there is no b12 in Vegemite. B12 is vital for good health, pretty much only comes in meat, so I’m told. Which makes it hard.
My mind still feels strongly for vegan-ism, but I get doubts now and again. Such a drastic change in my life is certain to shake me up. My whole concept on my morals and beliefs have been flipped on it’s head n slowly stirred.
I’m rather confused.
