What can I eat?
This question echoes in my mind all the time as I transition to a plant-based lifestyle. Like many of you, I enjoy the taste of meat, but I'm increasingly aware of how plant-based eating could benefit both my health and our environment.
The struggle is real - especially when dining out. Sometimes, restaurant meals just don't sit right with me, leaving me wondering if there's a better way to nourish my body. But the thought of giving up those juicy burgers and flavorful steaks? That's where I hit a mental roadblock.
Here's the truth: We keep hearing how plant-based diets are better for the environment and our health as humans. The research backs this up. But when you've grown up loving meat dishes, the transition feels overwhelming.
So here I am, standing at this dietary crossroads, asking myself (and now you):
- How do we begin this transition while still enjoying our food?
- Is there a middle ground between fully plant-based and meat-eating?
- Where do we even start when we're not ready to go "all in"?
If you're like me, caught between your taste buds and your health goals, know that you're not alone. This journey doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. Maybe it starts with one plant-based meal a week, or exploring meat alternatives that actually taste good (yes, they exist!).
I'm committed to finding answers to these questions, and I invite you to join me on this transition journey. Let's explore this together - the challenges, the discoveries, and hopefully, some delicious solutions.
Stay tuned for part two of this series, where I'll share some practical tips and plant-based recipes that might just surprise our meat-loving taste buds! 🌱
