In regards to eating meat

[Diana]

A few weeks ago, I saw a picture of a powerless, young, devastated chicken. One out of thousands in a place where they are "grown" to be killed.

I said damn - enough is enough... and stopped eating meat.
I only lasted for two weeks for the first try, though. I was not craving meat, not at all. But my simple and drastic change to my diet totally messed up my digestion, and I could not do anything about that.

I will approach this once again in the next months. I will not be forcing myself to totally abandon meat, but I never really forced it either. Any suggestions how to keep up a healthy digestion would be appreciated. Not the one where I run to the bathroom every few hours, and not the one where I have nothing on the "output side" for days : D

I agree with Pickle. Take it easy. It isn't balanced to shock the body.

First, maybe avoid fast food (if you eat it), anything ground (the worst meat is ground). Try to eat organic when you do eat meat (there will be less for the body to filter). Taking psyllium husk helps (a slippery fiber) as it pulls stuff out of the digestive tract.

Slowly eat less meat. One good way is to shift the focus of a meal. Instead of: let's have chicken for dinner, say, let's have brown rice, and the meat is a side item (maybe just pieces cut up in the rice).

Drink lots of good water.
