RE: "veganism" from a vegan's perspective

in #vegan6 years ago

I'd like to thank the followers who asked me to make this post. Thank you!
They also asked me for my top 3 tips for people going vegan or thinking about it.

  1. Go at your own pace, even if that's slowly. It's more than just a diet, it's a lifestyle change, so give yourself some time. Do what seems easiest and most natural first, and continually re-evaluate your progress and how it makes you feel. Learn about general nutrition (and your specific body's needs) as you go. Each change you make will naturally lead to more. Rather than trying to go all the way in one day, go at the pace you know you'll be able to handle.
  2. Don't mess with meat replacement products. They tend to be processed and unhealthy, as well as unnecessary. I'm talking about "tofu burgers", soy hot dogs, and so on. Gross. Tofu isn't food, are you insane? Get yourself some real food! Fries, pasta, stir fry, burritos, pizza, cookies, curry, rice, salads, fruit, hemp hearts, avocado, nuts, berries, lasagna, sushi, cereal, ice cream, sandwiches, popcorn, and chili! There's no shame in it, if it's vegan! And you can eat as often as you feel hungry, usually while staying fit.
  3. If you don't already, make everything you eat yourself. No more processed stuff and no more fast food. Instead, eat all the delicious stuff I mentioned above, and anything else that's made with plants! (And fungi, algae, etc.... just not intelligent animals!) You'll understand food better, you'll get better and faster at making great meals, and you'll enjoy eating even more than before. Veganism isn't about eating food you hate - that's a myth! I love food, and I've never been as satisfied with eating as I have since going vegan.
