My friend and I decided to try going vegan for a month. about a week and a half into it she quit because she kept getting sick. But she doesn’t like vegetables and didn’t do it right so I’m not surprised. We decided to write an article about the experience for our high school newspaper of which we are co-editors in chief. So far it has been great. I’m 2 1/2 weeks into it and still going strong. just another week and a half to go. I’m so proud because I completely did it cold turkey. One day I’m a complete omni and then next a hardcore vegan. It’s been fun and i think i want to continue at least partially once i make it to the month.
How to go vegan for a month
How I did it: Sheer stubbornness and will power.
I started twice. the first time, i had to stop. I thought I'd given up. But I decided to restart and I managed to push my way through. I'm staying this way now.
Lessons & tips: Making a mistake does not undo everything. Just learn from it, and keep trying.
Get substitutes for milk and eggs. learn to make cookies. :)

I need ideas on how to maintain this goal of having a total vegan diet for a month!
I’m going to do this.
I’m trying
i miss it.
I like coffee now.
Our dining hall has very little vegan food.
Spinach, veg.las., bananas, pb… tomato and pickle sandwiches.
Which is ridiculous.
I would love to see if I’d last going vegan, but should probably try going vegeterian first, then progress. I’m addicted to cheese & milk though. Grr….
I haven’t eaten any dairy products or fish for two days. (This is day two.) This is as practically vegan as I can be for now. I figure I’ll slowly transition into my vegan month.
It’s not easy. I love cheese and milk.
Really really slow. I’ve been a vegetarian for a few years, but I love my milk and eggs and CHEESE. I don’t know if I’m going to be able to handle it all at once, so I’ve decided to start out slow.
NO CHEESE, NO EGGS. Less Milk. (might switch to soy). Fish might be a big problem for me, because that’s how my parents keep me in line, so I’ll have to start asking for products made of soy and eating more peanut butter.
Ugh, and trying to lose weight at the same time? This doesn’t feel so fantastic.
i’m going into this slowly – not eating meat this week, then cutting out all other animal products the next four weeks :)
I have done the “go vegan for a week” version of this. I had all kinds of headaches for two days but after the second day, it was actually nice. I was feeling light without feeling hungry or bloated.
Still, it is so hard to do this in Turkey, where the meat substitutes or tofu is so hard to find. A box of silken tofu was 24 liras, like 20 dollars or something.
millions of people have gone Vegan This year you are in good company.
Balanced Vegan diets are good for your health and good for the planet too.
have a Happy World Vegan Day 1st November
