The plan today is chicken pho and fish, rice, and veggies, so while not meatless, I am not ingesting cow or pig, so that's something, right? :) I have a hard time with even one meatless meal (minus breakfast which is 99% of the time oatmeal, which doesn’t lend itself well to meat).

Good luck with your day though. :) Not too sure if I will participate- though I definitely will be eating veggies: I have a neglected and FULL organic delivery that came when I was away!

After a couple years of health issues, it turns out that my body is no longer tolerant of soy. I can only eat so many beans quinoa etc, plus I have to cook for hubby as well... so I started eating salmon & tuna. The thing I missed most being vegetarian was the convenience of "eating anywhere"... for many places, "vegetarian" means a white salad with a pink tomato, piles of cheese and a fatty salad dressing... now that I eat fish it's a little easier, but I feel guilty sometimes that I enjoy that convenience (I still don't really like the fish itself, and I don't like feeling hypocritical eating something I once swore I'd never eat, but I'm learning to accept that, sort of.).But anyway, now that I have a flesh-protein back on the dinner plate, I find it more difficult to get my veggies in - when I ate veg, it was ok to spend a decent amount of time preparing a veg entree... but now it almost seems too much work if I have to cook the fish or meat too. So I end up cooking a lot of plain frozen veggies. My diet is much more boring. I was vegetarian-nearly-vegan for 14 years.

So, I have no problem joining you in the Meat Out...and I still have yet to find your beloved Chipper Beef Jerky anywhere around Nashville. :( Miz,

I'm so in;)And excellent point about good nutrition being less about adding random protein and more about removing the white "ho-ho-hole" stuff! I love it! I’m so in;)

So have been a protein lover and a major salad and veggie lover, etc. I do not eat jerky- but maybe you will inspire me to try it again- the kind at Whole Foods looks sorta good, in a dried up leathery non-food way...But a couple of weeks ago I began to worry about eating so much meat (I live on my husband's meatloaf- it's all made and I just add a slab to my salad and it's perfect- have made with beef, or buffalo, or turkey, or lamb or blends of all the above). Anyways, am rambling here...I got a very strong intuitive "hit" (am also all about intuition!) to cut the meat out. I prepared to feel a little deprived a little hungry. I ate things I thought I didn't really like much like red beans on my salad, and some other stuff.I loved it, was not hungry, felt lighter and a bit more vibrant, voila I could go without meat. So the experiment continues and am really excited to have a no-meat celebration with everyone tomorrow! Feeling very in sync and didn't even know it.Thanks as always for your inspiration and beautiful work!See you on twitter.love and blessings, Lisa http://www.IntuitiveBody.com Hi Carla!

Have to admit, I knew nothing abou the Meat-Out tomorrow, but for the first time in forever, I had 3 completely vegetarian days.

Little did I know the day after we started, my boyfriend had planned an extravagant dinner out at a fancy steakhouse! But I still went meatless nonetheless :)I don't think I will be participating. I love my lean meats too much!! Once when I was in high school my best friend and I decided to go meatless for a week.
