That's right...meat...ALL of it...beef, chicken, fish and any form thereof. I've never been a big meat eater, but I DO like big juicy burgers. In fact, it was a big juicy burger that helped me eventually make this choice.
Went out for dinner with my hubby, ordered what sounded like a great burger, was full before I'd finished half of it, but didn't want to "waste" it...so I finished the whole thing. It then sat in my belly like a brick for the next several hours.
The next day is when I finished Skinny Bitch and the following day (10/25/10) I gave up meat.
The first side benefit I noticed (& was NOT expecting) was that I no longer woke up with bad breath. I could even eat garlic or onions for dinner & not wake up with the lingering taste in my throat or on my breath. If you've ever done any research on colon cleansing, you know that bad breath is a sign that your colon is full. So apparently, just giving up meat made my digestive tract run more efficiently & now...no more morning breath.
The next thing that happened...and this is one I WAS expecting...is that I started to drop weight. 6 pounds in 7 days to be exact. So as I continue, I'll give the most accurate weight loss total in one of the side bars. Hopefully someday, I can even put my real weight on there too. But still have some lbs. to lose before I do that!
Finally, by the 3rd day of no meat, I could wake up when my husband left for work (6:30ish), be ready for the day and NOT need a nap. Not running any marathons and definitely ready for bed by 10 p.m., but interestingly enough, I'm no longer a nightowl. It seems that letting go of meat was one of the keys to helping me become a morning person...who'd a thunk it??
