When you've been programmed to believe that a thing is a necessary part of a sound nutritional plan, it can be tricky to let it go. If you're used to eating dense, heavy meals that make your belly feel very full, it can be an adjustment to having meals that are light and digest easily and quickly.
So how does one do it? How does one unlearn what one has been programmed to believe? How does one make that shift to plants, and how can just plants make a satisfying meal?
I'm here to tell you that it can be done, and it can be fun. As with everything on this path: persistence, not perfection. Patience, not pushing. Give it time, have compassion for yourself, give yourself permission to take the time you need, and know the truth. We don't need animal protein to thrive. Leafy greens have more bioavailable protein than animal flesh does, and it doesn't come with a side of extra radiation dumped into our bodies. Leafy greens area powerful healing food while animal protein really just takes up space in the gut, is difficult to digest, and clogs up the liver.
And after awhile of not eating it, it doesn't taste the same when you try it again. And it definitely doesn't feel like fuel in the body.
That has been my experience. What has yours been?
