I don't like beef, lamb, or non-fish seafood. I don't drink or smoke, and even the meats I did eat--fish, turkey, chicken, ham--were sometimes foods. I also ate a lot of cheese.
I'm cutting it all way back or out completely now until I can get my cholesterol under control; apparently I have the liver of an alcoholic.
Right now I want to get my liver under control and my cholesterol normalised ASAP. Then I can figure out how to tweak my diet to something more moderate and sustainable.
But I'm actually having a pretty decent time of this near-vegan thing; I'm finding lots of excellent and pleasing foods I wouldn't otherwise have tried, and so far I'm not missing anything too much that I haven't found a good replacement for.
It's a bit more effort, and it's harder to accept peoples' hospitality--which could be a problem in the long run if I have to keep a strict diet--but I'm not miserable or feeling deprived.
On that note, I'll probably be hurtin for a distraction. I hope we can hook up for some Scrabble tonight. If I do hit the whiskey, that could be a great advantage for you!
