Being vegetarian - after 3 months

That has been much easier than I thought :) What I learned in last 3 months:

  • self-made vegan (even not vegetarian) food can be super tasty, even without artificial flavours
  • self-made vegan food does not have to be something complicated or following some fancy recipe - simply fry onions add peppers and then all the other vegetables that you have, add garlic, and lentils, peas or couscous; vegetables do taste awesome!
  • if you add sunflower seeds to a salad, it becomes much tastier, and heavier (which is good in case you don't eat meat)
  • there are meat grill replacements (other than grilled cheese), if you still want to attend barbecues
  • in many Asian restaurants you can still order your favourite dish just ask them to make it without meat

I think I still eat too little protein though, my plans of eating more beans and lentils did not really work. I started to eat even less eggs, which does not look good combined with the above. I started eating couscous, but that does not have much protein either. I am adding sesame flour to muesli now, but that is not much (tastes good though).
