I stopped eating chicken

I was a die hard fan of chicken recipes. Yes, I just can't imagine a Sunday without it. I wondered, how people stopped eating non-veg all of a sudden. But now even I'm one among them. Felt surprising. After getting married to my pure vegetarian husband, I did not stop eating it. When ever I come to my mom's home, chicken will be in my plate. But I felt, why don't I stop eating it ? My hubby will be happy and I will very healthy. I was waiting for a good chicken biriyani and with it I stopped. Yes, I did it finally. Any one have such experience ?

thanks I always have the will power within me. I will take time to do anything. but once I decide then I'm very firm on it. From the day I came to know my husband, I started to desire to become a vegan. But I took about 7 to 8 months to do that. He did not tell me stop, this made me to stop eating.

It is really a good thing to hear that more and more people these days are going the vegan way. Well even when most of us know the health benefits of a vegetarian food not all us are comfortable to go with a pure Veg food. I am very happy that you have stopped eating chicken. Thanks for you as you have decided to save those innocent creatures. Regards, Narthan

Thanks narthan. It feels good to be vegan. Any way I should say you something, that I stopped eating chicken just for my happiness and not with the heart of saving those creatures. I'm always true to my heart. So only I'm telling this. Well few years back I use to convince my friends that eating chicken is not bad. It is a process of food chain. Man eating chicken is not evil.

Hello... I admire your courage.. But I really can't stop non vegetarien... It is a compulsion for me and I must have it at least twice a week... Non veg food has that appeal in its taste- we can't eat it just once in life... If you eat one, you fall for it... I am just one of such people... :-)

I love chicken..!! I prefer chicken to beef or lamb. I eat chicken till today and I never think before to stop eating them. though I like chicken very much, it doesn't mean that I cook chicken everyday. But I eat chicken often. I know that chicken today is not good for our health cos they are raised by chemical substance (how to get 'mature' chicken in a short time due to high demands in market). So consuming chicken everyday is not healthy. But to quit eating them is still hard for me. maybe the best I can do is reducing to eat them..I hope it helps me in leading a healthy life..:)

that's good you can control your appetite and temptatins, however I don't even eat any meat often anyway, I stopped eating all the red meat 6 years ago and I0 still occasionally only eat chicken and fish (tuna only like rio mare), so my experience is more for red meat, I stopped cause I had some swallowing issues and kind of when a piece of that hamburger meat got stuck in my throat I kind of got that fear, but either way I stopped liking the taste of that meat too and its chewiness just put me off, so I like softer meat only now which is chicken and fish. for me it wasn't hard to stop, I just did it one day just like that, I got repulsion when I smelled horses sausage, so I ditched all the other meat along with it right then.

It is good that you could control your temptation, but I just want to know, did eating chicken do any harm to your health. Did you feel any weight loss after you stopped eating chicken. I have read that chicken does not make you fat.......but I don't think it is true.....please do write how you feel after stopping eating chicken and how long you are not eating it now........year or less?????

Yes health was my first target. I even found myself lost some weight after that. Though chicken is not the fat but the skin. I cant avoid it, because I like it very much. Even when it comes to chicken recipes, it is always the oil and gravy that plays more. It is less than a year since I stopped.

I am not a vegetarian. I heard people who are veg more healthier than they who eat a lot of meat. I think you are right to have made a decision not to eat chicken anymore. I was quite you would feel more healthier than before.

It is a good thing that you stopped non vegetarian foods by association with your husband. In connection with a pilgrimage I had to stop all non vegetarian foods for 46 days. I felt on uneasiness. On the other hand my health and mind were very pleasant that period.

When I was studying 12th class, my master told me if you stop eating non-veg you can concentrate more. So I left for 3 months and started it again a day before the exam. Even I felt good, but could not resist.

Well I am a huge foodie and I am sure will never quit eating non veg . ( My fiance is veg and subtly tells me to stop, but I dont think I will ).. I do know someone though who quit . My cousin brother who could not eat food without chicken all of a sudden one day stopped eating. The reason ? He once came with me to buy chicken from the shop and he just stopped after that!! He still does not tell us why and we keep asking him..It s been like 8 years now and he has not tasted a single piece since that day..

Oh my God ! This is very strange ! I think the chicken you got was not good ! Or may be before dying the chick should have seen him eye to eye, "mercy less man how do you kill and eat me ?"
