Yes. You’ve heard it right. I’m turning vegetarian. Not exactly yet, though. About one and a half years ago, I’ve made the decision to stop beef intake. I made a pact with the Universe to give me something I want and I’ll stop eating beef. Well, I’ve got what I wanted.

This time round, I’m going to stop eating pork and chicken. I didn’t make another pact with the Universe. I just want to be healthier. XCool is with me so it makes things easier. Being a carnivore for all our lives, cutting meat from our diet can become quite a challenge. For now, we still take seafood – mainly fish because I am not a big fan of prawns, squids, cockles and crabs. Eventually, when we’re ready, we might also cut seafood out.

It has been two weeks now. The first week was tough. Both XCool and I had withdrawal symptoms. We felt very weak and fatigue all the time. To help myself, I tried to psycho myself that meats are poisonous. As for XCool, he reminded himself of the teachings of taoism. It goes something like “why would you want dead carcass in your body?” It’s working so far. I have no more cravings and so haven’t he. Blue ribbons for both of us!

Many famous people are vegetarians. Just to name a few, my mentor Anthony Robbins and XCool’s role model Steve Jobs. Then there’s Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, William Blake and many more!

My favorite vegetarian dish from Sakae Sushi – Vegetable Kakiage … yum yum!
