Going vegan!
I had tried in the past to go jump in the deep end and became a vegetarian this only lasted for about 30days as I wasn't prepared I didn't have the right knowledge of what to eat and how to cook it which resulted in a negative mentality towards and became more of punishment than a fulfilling way of life.
So this is why this time around I decided to take things slower , after about 1 year of no cheese milk and pork I then removed lamb from my diet for about 6months then beef after that and then at this point I was only eating chicken eggs and seafood. I continue to eat like this for nearly a year in this time I took it upon myself to start learning about vegan foods as I had the image that vegans only eat broccoli carrots and salads lol. I was lucky that at this time a Caribbean vegan shop opened literally on the end of my road called 'lovegift' which was like a gift from the universe to me . Once I went there and tasted there food it realised if made right vegan food is delicious which made my decision a whole lot easier and at this point I decided to remove the final few and become a full on vegan. Don't get me wrong for the 1st 3months or so I found it really hard and I lost about 15kg which for me was devastating as I didn't want to become a 'skinny vegan' .
But long story short after a few months I got into the swing of things understood my body better, discovered what I needed to eat to maintain and generally just feel great. I haven't looked back since or been tempted since those first couple of months of my transition.
