the meat free challenge

Hehehe well I can join you my friend! But I think I'm already ahead of you cause I don't eat meat too much anymore. I have avoided it cause I think its unhealthy if we consume a lot of meat. It has lots of fats so its bad for the healh. I prefer veggies and seafoods. I still eat meat but once a week only because we still need meat but only in moderation. I think you can do it. It's easy cause veggies and seafoods are great partners when it comes to dishes and they're delicious too. Goodluck!

That's great congratulations! I haven't eaten meat for about 10 years and stopped eating all animal products (dairy, eggs) a little over 2 years ago. I also stopped eating junk food then too. I really don't miss any of it. My health has definitely improved. It's also just better for the environment and my peace of mind (I've seen pictures and videos of how animals are tortured, pumped with chemicals, and slaughtered).

A veggie diet is beneficial to the body in many ways…with the correct mix of proteins and carbs a veggie diet can give you everything that meat can give you. so go ahead and let us know how its going.

I went vegan for a week, once. For anyone who isn't familiar, vegan is a diet that includes no animal products whatsoever- no meat, eggs, dairy, anything, not even gelatin or anything that is processed using anything that comes from an animal. Compared to that, I think I could go meatless for a month easily. Of course, my husband and I already eat tofu on a regular basis, so we could cope fairly well. Just make sure that you get the proteins that you need- eggs, seafood, and dairy will do that for you if you're still going to eat them. And don't go overboard on the sweets- too many sweets are still bad for you even if you're doing other things that are healthier. Everything in moderation. :-) Here are a couple of ideas that could help you: Try crumbling up tofu and putting it in lasagna rather than meat-it soaks up the flavors of the cheese and sauce and tastes pretty good. Also, drain a block of tofu and get as much of the liquid out of it as you can, and then freeze it. When you're ready to use it, thaw it and then slice it thinly. Dip it in flour, and then egg, and then bread it in a mixture of seasoned bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Fry it in a skillet and top it with tomato sauce- it tastes really similar to chicken parmesan! Anyway, good luck!

That a nice way to challenge yourself. Hope you can make it. It will lessen the cholesterol you consume thou you should also lessen sea foods because its also high in cholesterol but fish will always do. Post again here if you compleated the challenge. Rock on . Happy mylotting!
