Greetings to all!
My name is Tyra and I just recently read ER4YT for the first time. My friend
gave this book to me a few years back but I never read it because I skipped to
the section on “O’s” and saw that we are the big meat eaters. The problem for
me was that I have been a vegetarian for 8 years. So, a few years back when I
read only the abstract page for O’s I dismissed the book. Well, I have had 2
babies since then and have been in the midst of full blown sugar cravings. I
read another book about the importance of eating carbs with protein to decrease
sugar cravings. Before reading ER4YT, I had decided to reintroduce fish,
particularly salmon and tuna, into my diet. My body is most certainly out of
whack because it takes too long for me to lose my postpartum weight and the
cravings. I am so excited to find this book because the truth in it really
resonates with me. The only problem is that one of the reasons I became a
vegetarian is that I do not like meat. Never really did as a child and phased
it out in my young adulthood (I am 34). My body actually felt better after
giving up pork and beef and I noticed improvements giving up fish and poultry.
But, my body is calling for something different. Before reading ER4YT, I had
only planned on eating fish occasionally but now realize that I need to make it
a daily part of my diet. I have no desire to eat meat but am okay with the
fish. My question is how have other ex-vegetarians or people who do not like
meat handled integrating the diet for O’s into their lives?
Thank you in advance.
Peace
Tyra
