So I’m here at the end of week 1 of my veggiexperiment and so far (other than accidentially sticking a small piece of cold chicken in my mouth before thinking ‘hang on’ and spitting it out promptly) I’ve succeeded. I haven’t actually missed any meaty stuff other than the smell of the forbidden fish and chip shop yesterday.
I have however learnt a few things on my journey so far…
ASDA’s veggie mince tastes like poo…. Morrissons is nice
Quorn Chicken-style pieces aren’t too bad either,
Shops are awful at labelling things as veggie… it took me ages to find some fresh pasta this morning that actually had a veggie logo… I guess some cheeses can’t be vegetarian.
As far as feeling goes I’m not really feeling any different, they say meat stays in your system for 7 days so I’m not meat-free however I’m not sure that the lack of meat has made me feel different on a dietry side of things.
I am however, already feeling like I shall end up eating less meat after this experiment, there are some pretty good, tasty alternatives outthere!
More updates soon!
