Vegetarian For a Week

I was watching this special on Fox news about obesity in America. It was pretty sad to watch. There was a debate with one side Vegan and the other side a very large woman. I am sad to report I don't remember the group she belonged to. I have friends that are vegan, and to me it's a little extreme. The other side was saying you can be any size you want as long as you're healthy. Well, I don't agree with that either. This lady was huge. There is no way she works out as much as she said she does. The mediator was telling how she's a vegetarian and how that's helped increase the healthy lifestyle into her life and her family. So, I thought I'd try it. I don't consider myself to be a carnivore, but I do enjoy meat. I also eat many meals without any meat in it. But, like I said I wanted to see if I could do it and how it made me feel afterwards.
It was totally easy to go veggie for a week. I saved a ton of $ when I went grocery shopping and didn't buy any meat products. I am surprised how much all that costs. I think I did eat too much carbs though. Lots of pasta. Yeah, there were also a ton of veggies and stuff. But, I ate a lot of carbs. I didn't feel different one way or the other, but I did realize (for myself) there is nothing wrong by adding a piece of grilled chicken or a fillet of fish to my plate every once in a while. On my last day, I totally forgot. I was at a restaurant in the evening with some friends and I ordered shredded beef tacos. After the first bite, I realized what I had done and said, "oh crap!" It was my last day! Oh well.
The boys ate mostly veggie for the week. There were a few meat items served with the school lunch and I told the boys it was okay to eat them. I wanted to test myself. I wanted to see if I had self control enough not to eat meat. Also I wanted to test myself on making new or different meals with my food limitations.
Are you a vegetarian? Do you eat meat with ever evening meal? Could you stop cold turkey and go vegetarian?
