I'm A Flexitarian.

Over the past year and a half, I have found my body going through a change.

No, I'm not "pausing." Not that kind of a change... A change where certain foods make me sick. Foods, sadly, that I love very much.

For some reason, the following foods make me want to puke occasionally and/or give me acid reflux:

• Orange Juice
• Bananas
• Coconuts (Tear! As these are my favorite things of all!)
• Potatoes
• Wheat Bread
• Red Meat
• Pork Chops
• Prosciutto
• Tomatoes (And pasta bolognese is one of my favorite dishes!)
• Most dairy
• Whole wheat pasta
• Bacon (Why, God, why?)

So what does work for me? Well...

• grapes
• pineapples
• blueberries
• apples
• chicken (sometimes)
• fish
• zucchini
• squash
• quinoa pasta
• rice
• soy sauce
• soy milk
• yogurt
• Greek yogurt

So I have made efforts in the past year to eat less meat and less dairy. I've even dabbled with vegetarianism. Not because I have ethical reasons again eating meat... Only because I seem to get sick when I have these things. And it is hard for me to do!

So, rather than giving them up completely, I have them occasionally. Such as yesterday, when I had a slice of bacon and pepperoni cheese pizza. (Pure evil.)

And then, of course, I paid for it dearly in Birkam class later in the evening. My stomach, chest and throat made me feel like I wanted to puke my guts out. I couldn't do a few of the poses. It was sad, as they were some of the easier poses too.

My body just naturally wants me to be a Flexitarian... Someone who mostly eats as a vegetarian, but occasionally indulges in animal products.
