So for this assignment I basically had to choose a different diet and try it for a week. I decided to go trendy and do vegetarian for a week. It was terrible. I will never ever do this again in my life, I cant live without bacon.
Typical vegetarian menus can consist of tofu, salads and mushrooms which I've been told is what vegetarians use to substitute for meat since it sort of has a meatiness to it.
My favorite dish I made was the fruit salad. It was really good and is basically what I survived on.
- Handful of Bib lettuce
- 2 Tbsp pine nuts
- 10 Blueberries
- 5 Strawberries cut in half
- Brunoise green apple
- Lemon Vinaigrette
It was really simple and cheap to make and tasted really good, but I'm a carnivore at heart.
I thought that starting off it would be hard but as time went on it would get better. It was the complete opposite. I felt like someone who had not slept in days because my body craved meat, especially bacon.
The first two days were bad because while my family ate steak, chicken breast and ribs, I was stuck eating lettuce, mushrooms and fruits.
I know a few vegetarians, and they told me that they feel a lot more energized but again I felt the total opposite. I've been so much more sleepy and drowsy and mentally and physically drained. I also noticed I have been breaking out a lot more. I'm not sure if that is because of the diet or not but its a note that I wrote down.
At the end of the week, I felt back to normal because I knew come dinner time I was going to have as much bacon as I wanted. After turning back to my regular diet, I am back to feeling normal and the acne has slowly started to go away which I find odd because I read vegetarians break out a lot less.
As I said in the introduction, I will never eat like this again. I cant live without meat. I love all types of meat especially bacon, and I cant see it being taken out of my diet. I do recommend others to try eating like a vegetarian because it is a lot healthier.
