Yesterday, I ate meat for the first time in almost 10 years? Why? I'm not 100% sure, but mostly as an avid gym-goer, I want to be more efficient with my macros so that I can build muscle more efficiently. That's the easy reason, though.
I've oftentimes felt that there was an occasional disconnect between my parents and I just because we have disjoint interests and perhaps a light generational impact. So in an attempt to have something in common with my father (who has been vegetarian his whole life) I decided to go vegetarian.
Overall, I haven't seen too may benefits. If anything, the initial switch helped me with self-control. Though I don't regret going vegetarian, I'm happy to return to my omnivorous ways.
