As a former vegan/vegetarian of over a decade, I completely understand the struggle. After briefly returning to meat-eating, I decided it was time to return to a vegetarian diet, though I am currently still eating fish.
Discussion
I could easily eat fish for every meal. Salmon or Rainbow Trout.
I love shrimp and scallops.
I could live the flexitarian/pescatarian version. I was vegan for about seven years. I was super tired of eating the same meals; I was stuck in a routine, and now, I do the same with this keto diet.
💯 Gotta keep it fresh, whatever it is. I love making fresh veggie juice (and some with fruit) with my commercial-grade juicer. I had to sell my last one since it was an Aussie model, but I am buying another very soon. It can even do nut milks!
I am also getting more into dehydrating fruits and vegetables. They make great, healthy snacks when eaten in moderation.
Joe Cross (of "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" fame) has some wonderful recipes for multiple durations of juice-only reboots (fasts). They are super healthy and very delicious.
I do at least a 60-day juice-only reboot every year and one to two 30-day reboots after. I don't believe it will keep any lost weight off; that takes conditioning of new habits and reevaluating one's relationship with food, but they are great for mind, body, and spirit.
Hi Ava, thank you for posting this comment. I was vegetarian for a while, more recently vegan, but now I'm in the in between phase (eating mostly vegan meals but I will eat a piece of chicken or beef). I haven't seen a lot of vegans/vegetarians open about their experience switching between diets, even though that's a reality for many people. I'm hoping to get back to a vegan diet very soon since I felt my best on that diet so far ♥️
Of course. Thank you. I understand that place well. I think many are afraid they will lose their "street cred" or their identity as this or that if they talk about it openly. For those reasons and more, I think it's important to do so. 🫂💜
