What not eating meat for 30 days taught me

It takes 30 days for our body to fully digest and cleanse from any meat. So I took up the challenge for an experiment. I wanted to see what changes in me, who had meat for two meals at least, who swore on Oxford Dictionary and Shaurma, who worhsipped chicken breast and KFC bites.
So, it was very rewarding. Of course, it was most difficult at family and friend dinners, when you do mot want to shout about depriving yourself from your favorite foods, but there where meals I ate nothing at, because every single dish contained some meat.
Because I took the challenge following my inner call, I had no psychological or mental difficulties controlling my appetite, but I had physical ones - I was never satisfied by the food, I was hungry most of the times (I also do not consume bread). And I was stupid enough not to add protein additives to my diet.
Still, the results are self-explaining. I am far less stressed out, I have more energy (I literally burst  with energy when I come home at 22-00 after having taught the whole day. I take a lot of things easier, yes, even Yerevan traffic. I am more understanding, less demanding, and less dealing with ****ting )))
And it is so good that not a single vegetarian friend pushed me, opposite, every one was like “You wanna eat, do”,  but as for now I really do mot feel like.
The brain also works faster, because I eat a lot more nut snacks, a lot of colorful veggies brighten my mood.
Did I mention I saved quite a lot of money on my meals outdoors which where cut by 60% in the cost, because this is the meat price, the meat which is of unknown quality?!
Moral of the story- meat makes us less energetic, more stressed and poor. And humans are not meat-eaters origninally, so this explains a lot.
