How To Become A Vegan - So you’re thinking about going vegan? Or you want to take small steps to lessen your impact on animals and our planet? Good, you’re in the right place!
To start off, let’s talk about what vegan means and why people decide to go vegan. Vegan refers to anything free of animal products (i.e. food, cosmetics, clothing, household items). It also refers to a lifestyle, with animal-loving philosophy at its center. People go vegan for any number of reasons, but most people choose based on health perks, dietary restrictions, or preferences and/or as a moral statement against unnecessary animal cruelty and murder.
The transition process doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Start small. Begin by adding more plant based foods to your diet. Organic veggies and fruits, nuts, seeds and whole grains round out the list. These foods should make you feel GOOD! Side effects may include: increased energy, clearer skin, weight loss and better mental focus. Fill your fridge and pantry with fresh, wholesome foods. You can’t eat what you haven’t bought and brought back from the store!
Another step you can take is to try to have meat just one less day a week. Meatless Mondays have become popular, and you may want to adopt that day of the week as you begin your journey. Once you see how easy having a meat-free day can be, try doing it a couple days a week, then more. It’s important to choose what works for YOU. Know your motive and let that guide and inspire you.
No matter your motive, any steps you take toward veganism immediately benefit the world! Install How To Become A Vegan app and start now!
