Hi all!
I´m having some very busy days, so I´ll just do a very quick recap of the last two days.
So, in my last post I said I was going to a birthday party and I didnt know whether to bring my own food or tell the host in advance that I dont eat meat and expect them to make vegan/vegeterian food for me etc.
I ended up NOT telling them in advance and NOT bringing my own food (didnt have any time to prepare).
I was really hungry when I got there and was hoping there would be something I could eat.
Luckily for me it was tacos and I just skipped the meat and loaded the taco with loads of fresh veggies, guacamole and salsa!
I also had a very small portion of cheese and an just a little sour cream on top.. :)
So that went super fine. I also got to talk about my experiment with people there and all of them were very supportive.
Oh, and I managed to stay away from the cakes and sweets!
Yeah, bonus point!
Also, yesterday I got to check out a vegan place in Oslo:
I got the feeling from their menu that there was tofu in almost everything there, and I have a bit of a hard time enjoying tofu, so I ended up with a vegan burger.. AGAIN! Haha. That´s too many burgers for lunch in one week...!
I was a bit disappointed with the place. I was hoping for lots of fresh stuff, but most of the stuff on the menu was fried.
SO, HOW DO I FEEL AFTER 5 DAYS?:
On day 4 I actually went around feeling super dizzy all day. Especially in the afternoon.
Today I´ve noticed that I get hungry faster than I usually do.
I guess I might try to be more consistent on when I´m eating and try to not let it go too long in between my meals.
Maybe do some nuts, fruits or veggies in between meals to keep the energy levels up?
Anyone have any thoughts or tips on this??
After 5 days trying to be a vegan I´m leaning towards settling for going vegetarian.
It´s hard to find good vegan options sometimes, especially the days I dont have much time to plan or I´m on the road driving between cities/meetings.
We´ll see.. 2 more days now I´ll still try to be vegan (almost) and then I´ll make a decision for which direction I´ll head in for the next couple of months.
