What are ways to transition into a vegan lifestyle?

Question

Im pescatarian and have been wanting to transition into becoming vegan. Any tips ? Foods I should know about ? I'm gonna do research but what are some things I should keep in mind when doing so ?

Answer

I'm pescatarian myself and recently transitioned back to veg- I've been off and on for years. I discovered a couple called "mr & mrs Vegan" on YouTube and I love their style! They are big on starches and have lots of good reciepe ideas! I am transitioning by dedicating 3 days a week to being vegan and slowly increasing the days. :-)

Answer

Good for you! A vegan diet is challenging at first, but totally doable. Become friends with high protein plants like edamame and other lentils and legumes. The options are much larger at specialty stores like Sprouts and Whole Foods, also. My fave non meat sub is falafel! You can make AMAZING gyros. Mmmm. 
Prepare for your friends, family, and coworkers to think you're crazy and mock your lunch choices. But advocate for yourself. Took my mom a few years to start making a separate vegan option for me because my Midwest family is all about the beef lol.  
Oh! Grab a vegan cookbook for ideas and inspiration. And make sure you're on a complete daily vitamin. Don't put a lot of pressure on yourself either! If you want to eat a fish taco, it's not the end of the world! Good luck!!!
