Why am I starting to hate meat all of a sudden?

[Catie101]

I have always been a meat lover, especially bacon and steak. I have never wanted to go vegetarian and though I love animals I never felt too guilty eating meat. still too this day I don't feel too much guilt but all the meat I try and eat lately I can't do it because it tastes disgusting (especially bacon and steak!). what is wrong with me? I don't like this, I want to love eating meat again!

eh, I wouldn't over-think. Listen to your intuition. Your body knows what it wants. Broadly speaking, red meat is considered to be pretty unhealthy in large quantities in Chinese medicine, and is associated with aggression and rigidity in outlook. Maybe you have had a period of spiritual growth and renewal. Same applies to a lesser extent with *excessively* eating all meat (I'm not saying eating meat is bad), though obviously, red-meat is the worst. I haven't cut them out, but I eat a lot less, and feel a lot healthier and happier. I used to love the taste of red meat, but now eating a large portion of it almost always makes me feel sick. Same applies to dairy, which is pretty disgusting and hard to digest, though yummy.

Yeah I slowly lost taste for it. But I didn't like it even when I was a baby, I would either spit it out, or pouch it in my cheeks and spit it out later lol. But about a year ago I slowly lost taste for it, dispite learning about paleo diet at the time, I went full on vegetarian. This video pretty much did it in for me:

Not saying we shouldn't eat it, but modern meat is far more unhealthy/lesshealthy than meat 100+ years ago. The food they're fed, hormones, the process, the treatment of animals, etc. Makes it pretty sh*tty now. Maybe you just need to try REAL meat, raised and fed properly, or just go veg. It's either the type of meat, or you body is telling you not to eat it.

Could be a number of things. I think you're either over thinking it too much, so much that you're questioning it online. Or your tastebuds have just changed. One day you can like something and another you can hate it. It happens.

if you don't feel like eating it don't force yourself to just because you've liked it in the past. I tend to start to dislike a food if I eat too much of it at one sitting.

the way they feed our cows and chickens these days..pumped up with hormones etc..its not wonder the meat is losing its flavor,or maybe you are pregnant?

[Catie101]

no chance I'm pregnant so that's ruled out and its just been like the past month so?

You are 24. Easy to answer. You are like most girls this age. You start hating all meat and suddenly crave being a vegetarian because that is the annoying trend most girls get into at your age. I don't know too many girls who don't turn vegetarian during the college years of their life.

Did you eat a lot of those foods before? It could be the taste doesn't appeal to you anymore because you've had it so often.

[Catie101]

i guess I stopped eating it for quite while. I stopped having it as often.

I have been feeling the same. It's like when the seasoning is lacking, like just the taste of meat reminds me of the smell when you go into a meat market. I don't know why. Some people that I have been seeing online say it may be a hormonal imbalance. That's why some say you might be pregnant. I know I have an imbalance because I have PCOS supposedly, according to my symptoms. I still need to get bloodwork done though to confirm. But for the past few months I have been put off by the taste of meat alone.

maybe the grease and fat in the bacon is too much idk. Seems odd that you just stopped liking it for no reason

[Anonymous]

Well maybe your mind is getting in the way. Start slow and eat more later.

[Anonymous]

It must be because of the smell.

[Anonymous]

I have no idea because meat rocks.

[Anonymous]

Because you don't like it
