I keep trying to cut all meat out of my diet and failing. We've reduced it a LOT. I no longer buy fresh meat for dinner...like ever. We used to have chicken or fish about 4 times a week, and beef or pork about once a week. Now I only buy veggies and beans and fruits fresh. But I can't seem to stay away from occasional processed meats (lunch meat, hot dogs, all the very worst things). Also, fast food gets us about once a week, and although I try and get something somewhat healthy, I often get chicken.
I'm stil trying though. Our last fast food trip we all got bean burritos. It's not an immediate process, but I would still estimate we eat about 75% less meat now than just 1 year ago, and actually most of the time, we all prefer it.
I did eat a filet minon on my birthday. And I don't regret it one bit.
Well maybe a tiny bit. BUT OMG yum!!!! It was so melt in the mouth, like butter.
And speaking of butter, I've gone back to using only olive oil or butter, no margerine ever for about 4 or 5 years now. I will continue to eat eggs, yogurt and cheese. Bt I hope we'll become true vegetarians in perhaps another year. Or maybe w'll just keep it as a special treat. I don't know.
