not only am i a vegan i am a new vegan. i was a vegetarian for 5 years and decided to go vegan just a couple days ago...sooo im looking for new ideas and recipes so if anyone can help id be soooo happy :) thanks

Congratulations on this transition... the vegan diet done correctly is one of the healthiest diets on the planet! One of the features we will add for the new year is a Veggie Center where will have tips, recipes etc. for veggie living.



I recommend that you limit all highly processed foods and include a wide variety of healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, raw nuts, legumes, beans, fermented foods, sprouts, and at least 2 servings of calcium-containing foods such as calcium-fortified rice/soy milk. It is extremely important to consume several different vegetables and fruits a day. A great way to incorporate variety is to pick vegetables and fruits of different colors each day-green, red, orange, etc.




I would also consider taking 3 tabelspoons of nutritional yeast each day to ensure a healthy level of b-12

I just made the transition from vegetarian to vegan, too. It's been a week so far, and I love it. I feel healthier.

Fantastic! If you encounter any challenges just let me know and I will see what I can do to help :Glasses:

Good for you! I am coming up on my second year and am so happy that I made the choice to go vegan. Please read my blog about going vegetarian/vegan. I am here for any help you need, feel free to send my any questions, even if you are just looking for a good product. Like I said in my blog, it is a lot of trial and error in the beginning, but I think it's fun, like a treasure hunt. When you find a new product that you LOVE, you will feel like you found a treasure and will want to tell everyone about it so they can try it, too! You'll see what I mean when it happens to you. Again, do not hesitate to let me know in what way I can help you! :)

I too am a new vegan, and it feels amazing and tough at the same time. My family eats meat and they make fun of me for eating tofu, plus, I have to vegan friends. So, it's refreshing to meet other vegans and I hope you keep feeling as good as you do now :)

It's a pleasure to meet you fellow veggie

You do not need to feel sorry about your decision, which you have decided by yourself. However, I would like to examine the reasons why a person converts or intends to convert to a vegan in a small amount of time! I think a person's role in the society is partially determined by his/her eating habits as well as the person's relationships with friends in the surrounding. Then, it comes inevitable to escape from the flow that a person must have the same eating habits as his/her friends and such conversions could become much easier. However, I cannot say the person recently converted to a vegan is enjoying the first few months of his/her new lifestyle. S/he takes it serious to be sincere, but also considers going back to the old habit of eating meat. At this point, I wonder what situations forced you to make such a decision and whether or not you have seen remarkable differences in your health. I wish you a much healthier life from now on
