I'm interested in dropping meat from my diet. I want to hear your experiences.
Great to hear. It would definitely fit in my philosophy.I have dropped meat, dairy and eggs from my diet a year ago when I decided to become vegan.
This after being together with my girlfriend who had been vegan since 2016 and after we watched the documentary Earhtlings together.
Never have I felt happier that I did that. There is so much suffering in the world and I'm glad that I'm not directly contributing to it anymore.
Go for it, it's the most peaceful option there is.
I have also been a hypocrite for some time instead of "just" a meat-eater. I've justified it to myself by thinking that it's a hassle to change my diet since I live with my family still. If I can move out next month, I don't have an excuse ':)I consume meat and I'm not proud of it. Only because it's against animal rights.
Hopefully I can switch to strict vegetarian diet once I have more will-power and stop being a hypocrite.

I went full vegan 2.5 years ago, but since moving back in with my mom I've been developing some bad habits of sometimes eating crap I shouldnt that contain milk and/or eggs (junk food). I will not consume any animal meat.... but i guess i have (wrongfully) justified animal byproducts as not being as harmful in my more depressed state lately.
There are many ways to do a vegan/plant based diet. Raw vegan as described above is pretty hard to maintain and can be hard on your health if not done properly. It leads to a lot of ex vegans...
Also there is a crapload of vegan junk food and fake meats out there now that can be equally as bad if that's mostly all you eat (I'm guilty of partaking in too many of these).
The trick to maintaining a healthy vegan diet is finding a balance of fruits and veggies, carbs, nuts, seeds, etc. and faux meats and cheese if you're into that. If done right you shouldnt need all the supplements.
If they made alternatives to animal products that were as good as the original I'd go vegan ngl
yeah haha vegan sliced cheese taste like rubber.It's getting there! The Impossible burger is frickin amazing. I seriously freak out sometimes when I'm eating them because I remember what a cow burger tastes like and I'm afraid they gave me the wrong one. lol
A lot of the less healthy stuff is pretty awesome.
Honestly the only thing that really needs a lot of improvement is cheese. They just cant get vegan cheese the same.
I've seen what they're up to in those food labs and I wouldn't doubt that we could have pretty adequate replacements for a lot of animal products in the near future.It's getting there!

I think quorn also needs slight improvement..

Yeah I dont eat quorn anymore since I found out it's a fungus. It's a mental thing I cant get past... there are so many other great faux meats though. For chikn my favorite is Morning star.
Violife, Follow Your Heart and Chao make pretty decent cheese.
They're growing fake meat from stem cells now.... crazy! It's kinda creepy though. But yeah, the tech for vegan products is amazing right now. So why cant they make better cheese and egg replacements? lol
Do you eat mushrooms? Those are a fungus right? Also I wonder about the chikn sometimes. I don't know if it's the carbs or if they put crack in it but I can't get enough of those things and it always throws my eating habits off. One of my favorite fake meats though for sure.Yeah I dont eat quorn anymore since I found out it's a fungus. It's a mental thing I cant get past... there are so many other great faux meats though.

Haha I thought I gotcha with that one. Mushrooms are kind of gross now that I think about it lol. Spongy and slimy. In other news I went shopping Saturday and got chikn and I binge ate all of it. I don't know what it is I don't have this problem with other food. Buffalo chikn is my crack hahaNope I hate mushrooms, I'm sure thats why the quorn thing. Even though they aren't actually a mushroom but some other kind of fungal organism. Just the association with mushrooms grossed me out. haha
