The Story…

Recently due to some health issues, I decided to take a long and wide break from eating meat products. As you know, consuming meat is by far the fastest and easiest route to protein land. It’s something we do mindlessly, take zero effort and taste pretty awesome too!

During my short 5-weeks journey I have been learning how to eat again. Learning self-control, strength, self-love, forgiveness. Learning that my cravings are a big part of who I am and that I am not perfect!
