Diets

Diet changes are hard, I'm trying to change mine and it's very hard. Now I am one of those people that don't believe in diet pills or saying 'I'm on a diet'. A diet as most people should know, is 'The sum of the food consumed by an organism or group'. And to that, I have changed mine.

I wanted to change the amount of food I eat and the type of food in the vain attempt to become 'Healthier'. I am also cheap and want to save money where I can to pay down stupid student debt. Eating only the amount I need, never over eating, and eating right are the end means. So far it hasn't been that bad, I don't eat a whole lot of sugar, I have vastly reduced my bad carb intake, stayed away from trans fat; but that is not the issue. I have 1 craving that is starting to tweak my nerves and that one craving is meat.

I have reduced my meat intake to be of rational portions to the fruits and veggies that make up my meals. Before I would eat meat for all meals of the day, all kinds of meat, and lots of it. I tried cutting it out all together before, a few years back, but I found that I would never feel 'Not Hungry' unless I had meat. Going vegetarian for even 2 weeks was me feeling like I was continually hungry for 2 weeks. I could feel my stomach with food in it and all the food just sat in my stomach, it made me want to gorge in order to fill the void of no meat.

This time around, I am keeping my delicious butchered animal remains, but I have pushed the portions down. I now can become 'Not Hungry', but once I eat a small morsel of that animal flesh, I want to keep consuming it. Meat is delicious and I say to all you vegans and vegetarians that you are missing out on some of the most delicious food I call animal corpses. These delicious, dead, delectable treats are tantalizing and should be given a taste no matter what your moral code is. This is why I tolerate apple products and understand the mass of people who consume it.

Back to my main point as I can talk about meat all day. The cravings for more meat are the worst right now. So far, because it's cheapest, I am consuming a serving of chicken for lunch and a serving of chicken for dinner. I season them and cook them myself. It does not matter how delicious I make the chicken, or how not hungry/full I get, my mouth wants to bite into a delicious hamburger, greasy bacon, glazed ham, roasted venison, grilled ribs... The list goes on.

The biggest fight, is fighting these cravings. Beat the cravings and win. That's what I think anyway.
So I will continue to fight temptations, hopefully better than how Jedi's and Sith fight each other in episode 1.
