I have recently become VEGAN and love the lifestyle change. Your post is so inspirational to me and to many others. Loving the outreach you are giving to others who are interested in making this switch. I know that starting out is complex and this 1-month starter challenge seemed to help me make the transition https://bit.ly/2S6YdLu. I hope this link helps others as it has transformed me to become VEGAN. Love plants, they are so good for your soul.

My husband and I are looking to become vegan, my husband for health reasons and myself for ethical reasons, this article was the perfect balence between those two motivators!

I’m british and a huge tea drinker so finding a good milk for hot beverages is going to be a challenge (I’ve tired soy, rice, oat and almond but it’s just not the same!)

Thank you for this fun but informative read!

Thank you. The hardest part for me has been eliminating dairy completely. I add other protein sources but still it is my weak spot. I have never been a big fan of red meat so that part was easy.. I used to eat chicken and rarely pork products. I have given them up completely after reading a book called The Bond: Our Kinship with Animals, Our Call to Defend them. It was an eye opener for me as I was unaware of a lot of things.

I replaced yogurt in my smoothies and use chia seeds instead. That was easy.

Thank you again for these tips. I pinned this.

Prior to a serious cycling accident 2 1/2 years ago I was not vegan. I was in a semi coma state on and off for a month during which time my body was patched together with titanium. I suffered traumatic brain injury (TBI) and when I became aware of things, I was in a toddler like state and to make a long story short, I refused to eat anything that was from an animal. The idea sickened my toddler like brain. As my brain healed, my determination strengthened not to eat animal products.

By the time I was released from the rehab hospital, my dear husband had done an exhaustive amount of research on what I needed to eat and any supplements I needed . That was 2 1/2 years ago and my doctors are amazed at how quickly I healed from so many injuries. I truly believe it's due to my healthy , vegan diet. The dietitian my doctor sent me to stated that with my knowledge, I could have her job.

Oh, and along our journey, we found your site and are so grateful that you share so much valuable information and so many amazing, delicious and balanced recipes. My husband, who is in his early 70s is not about to change eating fish, but has almost totally given up pork, beef and lamb and loves the flavor of my vegan dishes.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with the world. You're a treasure,
JoJo

I love these ideas. So practical and achievable. I especially like that you say compassion starts from within... Indeed.
Thank you, Sarah.
