Plant-based “meat” is so tasty that Europe’s meat industry has to bite back

I preferred to eat meat every day since I remember. I tried once lately for a couple of days to not eat meat. Mainly eating tofu as a substitute with some lentil.

On third day of such a diet I was feeling very bad. I was feeling weak, nauseous and a bit shaky. I tried to eat sugar in form of candy bars. It passed after I have eaten a few sandwiches with lots of meat.

Was it wrong what I did? Is my body programmed to digest meat and can't easily switch to other sources of protein? When I'm not eating meat I feel weaker.

That's rather strange. It really depends on what your original diet consisted of. You might have done a complete 180 without giving your body time to adjust. This is not the typical experience of cutting meat out of your diet as you should have gotten more energy and less fatigue after a meal.
