I was brought up vegetarian and eventually became vegan on and off for the past few years due to hormonal imbalances. Recently I have been trying to eat meat because I also have signs of insulin resistance and a lot of the protein sources in vegetarian/vegan diets are high in carbs and most of the times not filling enough. I have struggled all my life with feeling full and recently have been having extreme fatigue and brain fog and my weight will not budge.
I can eat eggs with no problem as I used to eat them when I was vegetarian, but eating anything else has been difficult. I find I can eat grilled chicken pieces in a salad, but even then it can't be plain it has to be seasoned or something (I guess to mask the taste). I have tried to do shredded chicken in soups but that didn't work out so well because of the smell. Same thing with bone broth. I was recently thinking maybe incorporating chicken into cooked meals may work better for me. I've read a lot of the posts here saying to first try fish. I am a fan of sushi but not sure if the smell of raw fish will work out for me initially.
I get this is mostly a psychological thing but hopefully I can overcome this. Any suggestions?
