No craving for meat

I think all addictions are mainly problematic to overcome due to psychological addiction, physical part is not too hard compared to that

Once I fasted on watermelon only, for 50 days (water till 14:00 and after 14:00). After ca. 4 days all my physical addictions were gone, but it took 21 days before all my psychological addictions were gone. Was a real cleanser in that way; a tough one though. Could not do it again, max. 30 days when I tried again.
I quit smoking. It was tough, physically. When people go off alcohol, they can get DTs, the shakes and other nasty stuff. It's very physical.

As long as it's for the right reasons my friend.

"The facts stated ... are scientifically proven.

1. Pigs can eat anything, this includes their own feces. It means, when they eat feces it grows cancer in a pig which can easily be transmitted to another pig. In their Faeces, there are lethal and hazardous insects can be found, which they eat as their food. Furthermore, they drink their own urine as well.

2. Pork meat soaks the toxins very easily in comparison to the other Animals. These Toxins make Pork mean deadly.

3. Pigs do not sweat, that means their sweat and other toxins, which are indeed deadly, merges into their body. Which is a major cause of cancer in a human body.

4. You can not kill a pig, even if you inject a Poison (Strychnine) into them, they are already very poisonous that the poison does not work for them.

5. In this era, some farmers keep Pigs as their pets to protect their farms from Snakes. Because a snake can never kill a Pig even if he bites the pig. As scientists say, Pigs are already so poisonous that the snake bite does not spread poison into their body.

6. When they die, usually Bacteria, Maggots, and Insects eat their flash faster than any other Animal.

7. As of now, there is still no safe temperature is being told at which a pork can be cooked in order to kill all the germs, Parasites and other toxins, that are lethal for us!

8. A pig has 4 times more fat as compared to the Beef. A large amount of fat consumption means you’re opening doors to Heart Diseases and other heart problems.

9. A cow, easily digests it’s food as soon as possible with 4 stomachs. While Pig takes more than 4 hours to digest which turns the food into flesh itself.

10. On average, a single Pig contains roughly 30 diseases that are deadly, and after eating them it is easily transmitted to the Human Beings. This is the major reason Allah has commanded the Muslims not to touch its carcass.

11. The major deadly diseases people get by eating the pork meat include; Gallstones, Meningitis, arthritis, typhoid fever, and Rheumatic disease.

12. The pig meat is so bad that it has some lines that are running down on each of their legs to their foot, which oozes pus continuously! Which eventually mixes with their meat, and when a person eats it, it means they are eating Pus full of deadly diseases."

Honestly i have never felt better in my body since i stopped eating meat :) So much more relaxed and happy in general.
 
When I quit meat at the age of 20, I never craved eating it again. This was also due to mainly associating with vegetarians after the change.
Over time the smell and sight of meat, poultry, fish and even eggs became more repulsive to me. I can now look at it without feeling anything negative, but I certainly don't like the vibes around the butcher section in the supermarket and try to ignore it.

When I tried to stop with dairy it was easy to give up milk. Yoghurt took longer and cheese, especially on pizza took the longest. Cheese however makes me less allert and has lost its attraction for me now.
But I would not avoid it when forced to go hungry (unlike with meat).

What turned me off from cheese was when a friend said it's concentrated pus. The correlation disenchanted me.
Hákarl: fermented shark in Iceland is a treat worth tasting, though at first you'll gag at its rancidness.

As some of RF members maybe know, i am a vegetarian when it comes to food. But what i have not spoken so much about is after i did stop eat meat, it has been in my thoughts and i been thinking how it would be to eat meat again. (kind of an inner craving to try to eat meat again)

Last weekend i was with friends who was eating A LOT of meat, and i was eating my vegetarian food, that is not so special in it self, but in the past when this happen, the feeling of wanting to take some of the meat and eat it was always there.
But last weekend, not a single thought of the meat arised in the sense of wanting to eat it, even when my friends jokingly wanted me to try, there was not on my mind to try to eatit, nor was it a thought of "oh no i cant eat it".
I know i would not take any damage of eating a little. but it just isn`t a big deal to me anymore. there are so many other substitutes for meat that i enjoy food actually almost more now.

Even when i go shopping for food, i do not notice the meat section anymore. it is just there for others to eat if they like :)
The cost of meat often offsets my desire for it, but its easier to learn how to prepare meat than to prepare beans. It always has at least some good flavor and simply searing it adds flavor. You don't need to learn how to use spices for meat, though it does help.

Very suspicious claims.
Have a science based source?

Good grief no, just had a quick google. I could be offended you thought I gave it any credence! :)

I think it is more easy when living alone, because then we deside only for our own food, no need to think what others want for food at home :)

The company we keep can make a huge difference in our diets.

My husband is not necessarily a health conscious vegetarian. If I complain about wanting to lose weight, he'll tell me its simple, just stop eating junk.

And then minutes later, he'll tell me he picked up my favorite chips for me after work. :rolleyes: Can't be mad because he's trying to be thoughtful, but he doesn't always make the connection...

My will is not steel. Give me cake, and I will eat.

The cost of meat is what got me hooked again. It seems absolutely nonsensical to me but I can get more calories per € from meat than from vegetables (and it tastes better, at least to me at this time).

Much like the cost of indulging in cigarettes: its price makes it glamourous and fashionable again.

Why are you doing this to me?

While I can't say I crave meat nowadays, I definitely miss bacon.

Yes, but no but...
I mean there are also people who feel more relaxed and happy after eating or drinking less subtle foods or drink. I guess it depends on the personality. A lion will never like the taste of spinache unless it feels sick.
