Mary: Hello love! Welcome to the green side! :)
Anna: News spreads fast I see!
Mary: They sure do! Especially the good ones - I'm really happy for you.
Anna: I must tell you I feel really motivated. It's been only a month, but I really want to keep it going.
Mary: I understand, I've been through it and it can be a bumpy road, but it's worth it.
Anna: Have you eaten any meat since you decided to become a vegetarian?
Mary: Unfortunately yes, as I said - bumpy road ;) What's important is to keep going. I once had some dumplings with meat and chicken broth.
Anna: Weren't you tempted to go back then?
Mary: No, not really. I had meat mostly when I couldn't have anything else and I was really hungry. Funny enough, I've been craving those dumplings, but felt absolutely awful after having them.
Mary: The farther you go, the less you want to eat meat. At least in my case.
Anna: I can imagine. Surprisingly I don't find it as difficult as I thought it was going to be. I still eat fish though.
Mary: I'm trying to become vegan, but THIS is hard, really. I like dairy, love butter, eggs...
Anna: Oh yes, life without cheesecake? OR PIZZA?!
Mary: My thoughts exactly. Well, it's doable, but at what cost. Don't have enough time to grind everything for hours.
Anna: Are you taking any supplements? My GP is going nuts over the news and is trying to scare me that I will ruin my health.
Mary: I know those kind of doctors, don't worry, you'll be perfectly fine ;)
Mary: I take supplements, especially in the winter as we don't have so many fresh veggies to choose from.
Anna: What would you recommend? I wanted to ask my GP, but judging on her general approach...
Mary: I highly recommend chlorella (pills), vitamin B12 and D3. Basically everything that has proteins and helps you absorb them.
Anna: Thank you so much!
Anna: It really feels like a new journey, so excited! :)
Mary: You need to come over so I can show you some recipes! And remember - if you have any doubts, problems, you can always ask me, I'll do my best to help :)
Anna has been a vegetarian for a month. Anna is vegetarian too and she ate meat a few times, especially when she was hungry and couldn't have anything else. She still eats fish. Mary highly recommends chlorella (pills), vitamin B12 and D3.
