go vegan

all i had to do to get there was watch earthlings.

it changed my life.

and yesterday was my weekiversary!!
:D!

I was stumbling on vegetarian sites earlier this month and came across a list of “accidental vegan foods” and realized being vegan would probably be incredibly easy!

along with that, this website http://www.vegetarian-restaurants.net/OtherInfo/FastFoodRest.htm
has AWESOME information on what fast food places offer vegan friendly stuff.

my first week in ive been thriving on not only all types of great homemade food (including THE BEST vegan brownies the world has ever seen), but also on jamba juices, starbucks, and even chuck E cheese pizzas!

best of luck to anyone and everyone thats trying this out, its not as hard as it might seem :]

I did this for almost a year once—not because of my beliefs or anything, just as a challenge for myself.

It helped me to better understand other vegans & vegetarians, their lifestyles and beliefs. I also found that I was a lot healthier, thinner, and more energetic while I was vegan.

It is VERY important to make sure that you have a healthy and complete diet while being vegan! You can’t just live off of salads and french fries—you need to make sure you’re getting all your vitamins, as well as protein! Fake meat might not be the tastiest part of the vegan lifestyle, but it is certainly an important one!

Also, if you decide to go back to being an omnivore, you need to slowly work your way back to it. When I decided to stop being vegan, the first thing I did was eat a cheeseburger and I got so sick!

Is what my family ate for dinner tonight. SOOOOO yum!

Kandykorn! There’s very little you really have to say goodbye to…just some adaptation needed. I mean my biggest thing was getting rid of cheese from my diet but then again after realising the disgusting greenhouse gas footprint of the whole cheese process from cow to plate, I had no desire for it.
You can have dark chocolate, cake, pancakes, biscuits, amazing dairy free ice cream (swedish glace is lovely).
I’m currently working on a recipe for vegan tiramisu (!) As long as you make things yourself (and there are loads of recipes out there) you can have all the yummy things you could possibly desire.
Good Luck x

I am already a vegetarian, that was easy. Meat is disgusting. And there are so many benefits to not eating animal products. it is healthier for both us and the earth, and i think it could also be beneficial to the economy, not to mention how the food industry exploits animals. But trying to take milk and eggs out of my diet is like…it’s like a diet in candyland. Milk and eggs, if not yummy by themselves, are in so many yummy things! so, i want to be a vegan. i will overpower temptation and i will make a healthier life for myself.

Currently I’m an lacto ovo vegetarian trying to covert to veganism. It’s not very easy since the household I live in consists of spaghettios and sweets, but I’m trying!

Also doesn’t help that I don’t have a job, ergo no money to buy my own groceries, but hopefully that will clear up soon (fingers crossed).

Slow and steady wins the race.

Had half a grilled cheese when I fed the baby at lunch today… and had a non vegan muffin… but otherwise, I’m on trackish…

lara bars.

problem: soymilk gets gross when put in my coffee at starbucks! :(

Had mac and cheese tonight! Talk about bad…

The baby was hungry though, and it was what was availible, in too large a portion… blah
