Answer

I found it to be more annoying then hard.. as long as I’m in my kitchen i have no issue but going out with friends or social events can be a bit tougher but u get used to it..

Answer

It’s not hard honestly. I watched all the documentaries mentioned. Followed some vegan instagram accounts to help inspire, motivate, remind me its easy. I learned how to make cashew cheese (so simple & taste like nacho cheese). Used that as my cheese fix. Cut out everything except for fish when I first started. I didn’t have or Make fish at home but I would order it when I was out & saw only fries & a side salad as an option on the menu. So completely cut out dairy, eggs, all meat at home, restocked my fridge with veggies & vegan substitutes. Only had fish when at a restaurant that had no vegan options. It didn’t take me long to find the good places that had vegan options & cut out the places that have no vegan options. Now I’m fully vegan & wouldn’t have it any other way.

Answer

I’m not vegan but I’ve been vegetarian for my entire life. I can’t imagine eating meat. Gross

Answer

We went cold turkey vegan when my husband was diagnosed with a dairy allergy and I found out I had hereditary high cholesterol (despite “healthy” normal diet heavy on whole foods and lean meats). We decided to try it for 30 days and by the end of that, we both felt amazing, my cholesterol had come down over 100 points, and we were hooked. Four years later, we still eat vegan. 
It took some getting used to, relearning how to cook and bake. Once I mastered a few basic substitutes, it got so much easier. 
Ground flax seed can be mixed with water for a great egg replacer. Your favorite almond or soy milk can be subbed for milk. Tofutti makes yummy cream “cheese” and sour cream. Daiya “cheese” is amazing. 
But the biggest things we eat are beans, veggies, fruits, and whole grains. We love lentils and tofu. 
Getting it out of my head that meat has to be the main course of every meal changed my meal plans completely! Beans, rice, and veggies can make a delicious meal.

Watch the documentary “Forks over knives”, Cowspiracy, or Food Choices on Netflix. It unveils the truth behind the meat industry and what it does to the planet, animals, & our health😱😱😱

Answer

It wasn’t hard. There’s alternatives to everything nowadays, even vegan eggs. The hardest part is having misinformed people tell you what you should be doing. Asking where you get your protein and stuff... as if protein isn’t in most vegetables. Lol. Definitely the hardest part about it is just dealing with people.

Answer

Watch positive vegan youtubers. Suck as bonny Rebecca and Ellen fisher. Watching other vegans make "what I eat in a day" videos gave me ideas and showed me eating vegan wouldn't be so hard.

Answer

Start by becoming vegetarian, and then gradually wean yourself off of eggs, cheese, and dairy. Meat and eggs were not a problem in my transition to veganism, it was the cheese! Not even milk, I always HATED the taste of milk growing up and my parents used to have to force me to drink that shit. But 🍕 was my weakness. Then I discovered vegan pizza...

There are so many vegan options now, it’s easier than when I started my journey a couple of years ago.

Answer
