Transition or immediate switch?

Question

When y’all went vegan did you start immediately or did you slowly transition? Did it work for you or did you slip up in the beginning? 
I am switching to veganism, but I want it to be sustainable. Did you have problems with fatigue when you first switched? Did you have strong non vegan cravings? Any tips for a beginner? 
Thanks!

Answer

I was vegetarian for two years, heard a bit about dairy and then in a day was vegan. I abruptly went from omni to vege and then, again quite abruptly from vege to vegan.
Didn't have any health problems like people kept saying I would (been vegan for almost 3 years now) when I did go from vegetarian to vegan my only worry was money, though I found I spent less on groceries when I was vegan then when I was Vegetarian

I was looking into a vegan diet at the age of 13. I didn't like meat but I was still eating it about once a month at my grandparents and at friends. I looked at what I was doing and was like no more meat and haven't slipped up on my side of things (thanks shitty restaurants) or wanted any. When I turned 14 at home I was vegan and at school but not out or at others. It took me about less than a year to transition. I was addicted to chocolate, I look back and I feel sad and sick of what I used to ate and could never go back. I occasionally ate chocolate because I am not going to force myself not to. One day I was like no this is enough eating vegan made me sooo happy so I told all my friends and other family before 15 because there was no way I would eat non vegan after 15.   My story xx  my friends went instant vegan over night i just couldn't. 
 
I have bad anxiety and can't talk about being vegan in public but when people ask I try to say haha or others do that I have been vegan for about a year because even tho I had a few slips they where slips so it wasn't what I wanted to. :)

I was vegetarian for about a year before I went vegan. It was an overnight switch into each one however, I decided eating animals wasn’t for me and point blank refused to eat anything with animal products in it (I was 10-12). I felt more energised and happier with what I was eating.

Answer

I had been veggie on and off for a while but when I decided to go vegan I did it overnight. But I still slipped up, mostly while eating out. But it's best not to beat yourself up about that. I like the idea of finishing all the non-vegan food in your house (so it doesn't go to waste) then make the switch!

Answer

I switched right away, one day to another. I started eating more beans and veggies which did cause some bloating but then that went away after a couple weeks. I am.a huge fan of crock pot recipes! throw a bunch of veggies in the pot, with beans, tomatoe sauce, spices and yummy, you can make some rice on the side too, or add in pasta in the crock pot the last 30 minutes of cooking or so. the internet is your friend with so many recipes, try what you like and then you can experiment on your own.  good luck!

Answer

I slowly transitioned from a vegetarian diet. My first step was having a vegan only kitchen so that all food I made and ate at home was vegan, then I slowly stopped ordering it out at restaurants and eating dairy/eggs at all. I found that it worked well for me but a lot of people seem to have success cold turkey.

Answer

I was vegetarian for about 12 years before (which I did slip up on at first when I was a preteen), but went vegan in a day.

Answer

I switched immediately. I actually felt physically better when I became vegan, rather than weaker... that problem came later when I got uninspired by my “limited options” and stopped trying with my diet. However once I started cooking properly again I got straight back to feeling the best! So my top tip would be: find simple but nutritious recipes and perfect them. It’s so much easier to stay vegan when you don’t allow yourself to get bored. 
I still have non-vegan cravings but they get easier to ignore over time. Especially with all the great alternatives out there - my local Asda sells a vegan SF popcorn “chicken” that I adore!

Answer

Started immediately

Answer

I slowly transitioned. Nov. 2016 vegetarian then Dec. 2016 100% vegan. I missed cheese just because of the saltiness. i love salt for some reason! but after watching all the netflix documentaries it was easier to not want it.
