So another
“Meatless Monday” on the books. As usual, my daily calorie count for the day is
lower than normal – which is fine. Especially since I’m trying to get the daily
average back down to 1700. I’m still seriously considering that one day on - one
day off meat consumption that I mentioned. It is frequently said that ‘we are
what we eat’… I believe that. And in the case of animal flesh – we eat whatever
the animal eats, and for the most part animals that are bred for food are given
horrible diets designed to fatten them up. They are given lots of other crazy
things like steroids, antibiotics, wheat, corn and soy loaded with pesticides,
herbicides, GMOs, heck some animals are fed animals, sometimes even the same
species. Just crazy. But truth is, even organic meat is difficult to digest due
to the complexity of the protein. So this is basically more a health conviction
for me than a dietary goal. That’s why I’m not going to be adding this to my
goal sheet. If the conviction is strong, then this will happen over time. If
not, then no need to put forth a new goal that I may not want to maintain.
Interesting
fact: our digestive tract houses 60-70% (Health Harvard) of our immune system. Keeping it healthy
and clean – free of excess waste and rotting meats will go a long way to
overall good health. And since that’s what this entire journey is all about – it
just makes sense. I simply do not like how long it takes to digest meat. And
that concern may be enough to change how much of it I choose to eat going
forward. Meanwhile…
