Conclusion: semi-vegan for one month ♡

Hey little faeries! ♡

It's been a week now already since my semi-vegan project stopped, but I really had no free time to write this post yet, sorry!!

But now I want to show or mainly tell you, what products I ate, how I felt, what changed, how I felt now being normal vegetarian again and what I what to keep in my diet

First of all, I want to tell you, that I've lost nearly 3kg weight! And I didn't even do any sports much.

Normally I go to the gym every second day a week, but this month I was at the gym like 2 or 3 times only.

So, I told you in my annoucement what I'm cutting out of my diet and what I planned to eat that month.

I told you, that I want to eat much more fruits and vegetables and cut out as many 'processed foods' as possible.

In the first 1-2 weeks I felt okay with that decision, but with time I had no more ideas what to eat and I ate a lot of it day by day, again and again (like e.g. the alpro soy yogurts)

So after a time, I ate some cold cuts again and vegan cheese substitutes and in the end I also ate a lot of white breads..

I don't know if I made any mistakes when choosing a product, maybe there were products that actually weren't vegan, but there were definitly vegetarian.
The products (or the package of the products) you see in the picture above are the products I ate a lot and very often. Of course that's not all I ate, but the things with which I replaced the non-vegan foods.

I definitly ate way less, than before, since I was kinda limited in some things, such as sweets.
I really saw that when the month was over, imidiately I started to eat some sweets that I was craving for

Craving is another thing I really want to talk about.

To me, one of the hardest things were not to eat cheese. I love cheese and I always eat cheese! When I first tried the daiya cheddar style slices I hated it so bad! But I kept eating them, since there were very expensive over here, and I really wanted to try it anyway! In the end, I was so used to the taste and the texture, that I was sad, when I ate the last slice.

Also I craved a lot of sweets, especially milk chocolates and kinda jelly sweets (?), but I knew they're definitly not vegan.

I craved a lot of things and I was so happy, when the month was over, so that I could eat all those things!

In the whole I have to say, physically I never felt as good as I did due this vegan month!
I was full of energy and felt very clean and had a whole new body feeling!
I also didn't have a bloated belly anymore, which I have ALWAYS! normally..

Shortly after, I already realized that my body reacts on the 'non-vegan' foods and diet, so now I have a bloated belly again, feeling sick (I became sick anyway, but I was already sick when vegan), my metablolism slowed down a lot too and I hate that I don't feel as clean as before..

So my conclusion:

I really liked doing this, even though it was kinda hard for the first time.
Maybe I'm going to do this again some time, but I know that I'll not become vegan for the 'rest of my life' (never say never, but you know..)

I decided that I want to keep some of the foods I found due this time in my diet, cause I really liked some of them very much!

I also decided that I want to cook much more fresh vegan foods for dinner for example!

What I can say right now is, that I don't even feel any need to eat any meat substitutes that regulary as I did before that month. I replaced them with some veggies already for some meals I had since then.

I hope to be able to stop my 'new' bad eating habits soon,
to feel as good as I felt due this vegan month and that I'll be able to keep some of those things in my diet anyway ♡
