I've been trying not to take too much meat since I started suffering from gastritis. According to the doctor, it was caused by poor digestion. I remember I always chewed my food quickly and swallowed them. I was always in a hurry during those days but I couldn't remember why.
The doctor prescribed the usual gastritis medication and advised me to changed my eating habit. It was a strict diet and I lost about 8kg after about 4 months. It was a no oil and no chilli diet. I was only allowed to have fish, chicken and vege. Meat was my biggest enemy back then.
When my health improved, I tried eating meat once in a while but my system took longer time to digest. I felt uneasy and sleepy after the meal. Eating meat during festive season usually would take a toll on my system. It also affected my bowel movement pattern. Finally, a few years ago I decided that I'd only survive with fish, chicken, seafood, vege and fruit.
If it's Hari Raya or entertaining friends, I'd limit myself to only a slice of meat.
There were times when I did consider becoming a vegetarian but realized I was not fully prepared. It's a huge step and a lot of things and habits need to be changed and I was just too lazy for them. Perhaps I might do it slowly. The first step is by omitting meat from my diet. That shouldn't be too difficult....

In the western world, they even eat the vegetables as the main course and rice as a side dish.
If you would like to know more, drop me a line.
herbalife not only is nutritional but helps to lose/maintain weight, save money and make money when you share what it helps you.
yup agree with you. Same culture in the middle east. I love their salad. But, over here in Malaysia we don't have many choices when it comes to vege. It's always, sawi, taugeh, kacang, sawi, taugeh, kacang.... kobis...
Hi :),
yes, I've tried taking Herbalife last year. It really helped. And that's going to be elaborated in one of my upcoming posts.
