There are TONS of veganized version of foods you love on the internet.

+ Accidentally vegan foods i.e. Sour Patch Kids, Cheesy Ritz, Lays chips, Oreos, etc.

To know if a food is vegan easily; look on the food label at the part of the allergy warning; the main food allergens are; Dairy (like milk), eggs & soy products.

If it interests you, check out vegan bodybuilders that post videos on Youtube (such as John Venus and Frank Medrano)

Checkout Freelee the Banana girl’s Channel and any other HCLF vegan channels if you think carbs make people fat or if you come from a restrictive diet/ eating disorder background.

As a vegan; DON’T make soy products, fake meats, cheeses, dairy products and beans the bulk of your diet. DO make high-carb low fat non processed foods the bulk of your diet to prevent any craving. People who do not follow this advice are the vegan who have food deficiencies, who look weak and who fall off the vegan wagon because they think it’s too restrictive. (Eat: Potatoes, bananas, dates, Pasta, Rice, Quinoa, Oats, Whole grain bread, etc.) DO eat 2500+ calories as a female and 3000+ Calories as a male. Eat A LOT.

I HIGHLY recommend that you watch “The Most Important Speech You Will Ever Hear” by Gary Yourofsky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5hGQDLprA8

Veganism is not a nazy thing. You don’t need to cut all the animal products as soon as you start. You can transition. If there’s a non-vegan food you “can’t live without”, and you find no vegan alternative, continue to eat it but cut all other animal products. Don’t try to change your diet too radically, a lot of people go vegetarian before they go vegan .

To know why most people go vegan research about these aspects of veganism: Environment– Equality (Justice) -Health (Eating disorder recovery, Enhanced physical performance, muscle gain, fat loss, Cure for diabetes and high cholesterol/blood pressure, Cure for Candida, Acne cure, etc.)-Moral (compassion) –Improved sexual life- Feminism - Politics (Rebelling against the system who tell lies to the population for money Logic (human body biology; Human metabolism)- Etc.

To know more about vegan nutrition and scienctific data about it

-read; The China Study, The Starch Solution, and many other books written by MDs (John McDougall, Collin T. Campbell, etc). and go on Nutritionfacts.org for professional nutrition studies and infos. For vegan environmental infos read David Suzuki’s site articles. -Watch the documentaries; Food INC, Cowspiracy, Earthlings. -checkout Youtubers who continually share medical studies about notions like why animal protein is actually causing muscle mass loss, osteoporosis, diabetes, etc. (such as Erin Janus, Vegan Gains or Bite-size vegan) and legit information about topics like how the egg industry paid for studies to show that eggs are good for us (with techniques that made it seem like cholesterol had no major impact on cholesterol levels).

Worry about food deficiencies? Look at the following pages

Or visit this page for a list of all the nutrients and where they can be found: http://adaptt.org/veganism.html# ▶Vitamins, Minerals, and Other Nutrients

Concerning B12! 250 Ml of any fortified plant-based milk gives you 50%

of your B12 RDV. Vitamin B-12/CYANOCOBALAMIN (destroyed by heat) – This vitamin comes from bacteria that live in our mouth and intestines (see http://libaware.economads.com/b12issue.php,www.naturalnews.com/029531_vitamin_B12_vegan.html) andhttp://drmcdougall.com/misc/2007nl/nov/b12.htm. These bacteria also exist in the soil. So you can let your body produce it naturally, which is what we all do, or eat some UNWASHED, ORGANIC vegetables once in a while. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that 39% of Americans have low levels of B12. If only 1% of Americans are vegan, how can a B12 deficiency be a vegan issue?

B12 can also be supplemented cheaply and easily. Go to this link for more information:
