Six months ago, I had decided to stop eating pork. It was a bit hard because I had lived my whole life with it. I stopped eating it when I read a book about pork and what the consequences it brings to our health. I had somehow managed to stop eating it and it was smooth. I am never ever get envy of my husband eating lechon or humba in that matter. I don't feel any craving though and I am fine. My body is not really wanting it and I am really thankful to the book I had read by Vic and Avelyn Garcia.
Back then, I still eat chicken of course but when I watched a video on bat-abad's blog post, I started to feel that I should stop eating chicken meat as well. Well, I know chicken joy is my favorite, fried chicken and other chicken recipes are the love of my life but then there was something within me that is shouting out that I should not take them in too!
So yes it's been weeks since I haven't eaten one. I am eating vegetables and seafoods, I can't turn my back from fish at this point and I am not planning to turn away from it because it is very palatable, its the only food which my husband and I agree to eat even our entire lives. We can eat fish everyday!
But I on the other hand is the one preparing food at home so I have the privilege to cook vegetables and fish as well, in this way, I am able to avoid meat. Now I am just glad that my husband and my family are really supportive about it. Whenever I am at the province, my parents would serve vegetables and fish too. We also buy honey and tea! I so love honey!
I am doing this for my health and I know eliminating it will definitely help my system.
