However, my experience was/is that my energy levels dip alarming if I don’t eat some meat and fish, so I wasn’t able to continue eating a purely vegetarian diet as a long term choice. I just don’t feel “well” eating this way.
For what it’s worth, I think that by the time you are an adult you have eaten thousands of meals, made from a wide variety of foods, and should have developed a good sense of what foods agree with your constitution and make you feel healthy and energetic. If you haven’t developed this understanding then maybe a 30 day trial of your current diet would be in order! That is, really tune in to what you eat for the next 30 days, keeping written notes of what foods you consume and how you feel each day. Perhaps then if you try out other ways of eating the comparisons will be more meaningful. |
