Intuitive eating

Did I just go vegan!?? 🤔🙄

🥦🍒🥑🥕🍏🍋

. ..probably not. Lol

At least not permanently.

However, I did develop an aversion to meat, so I am taking a break for now 🤷‍♀️

I’ve eaten grass-fed beef regularly throughout the past 2 years, and have so much gratitude for every cow that contributed to sustaining my life ❤🙏

I needed it at the time for it’s grounding properties, B vitamins, and help with 🧠 inflammation from Lyme (#healed).

However, it seems like my body is trying to lighten up, so this change feels really intuitive. I may incorporate fasting at some point as well. ..it’s one day at a time over here!

Notice I did not title this entry “Why I’m now vegan, and why you should be too.”

Immediately no.

This is so not about that. My purpose in writing is to show how it can look to honor what our body is saying, even if it’s seemingly random or unexpected. We’re allowed adjust course simply because it feels good. That’s it.

We don’t actually need charts, graphs, 20 years of data, etc. ..we can actually do things (or not do them) simply because we want to.

That being said, I have learned a lot in the past few days about the potential benefits of a plant based diet, which I shared below.

This book talks about how some foods are mucus forming (particularly meat/dairy). ..either they become slimy and form a gel as they break down, or the digestive process creates mucus because of how much energy the heavier foods require.

Sry if this is TMI, but I’m doing some pretty intense detoxing, and I already have enough drainage without adding any more. There’s no telling what kindve toxins I’m mobilizing, so I want all my body’s efforts going towards getting them OUT 🤮

I’ll do a post on detox soon, but I just wanted to say that everyone’s body is different and that there’s a lot of variability to even the same body over time.

This could actually be a 72 hour phase for me and I will crave a 🥩 tomorrow 😄

The best thing we can do is learn our own body and how it communicates with us🫀🧠🫁
