The Best Vegan Diets

How did going vegan change your life?


The best vegan diets, ranging from vegan weight loss diet to low fat vegan, including information on what is a vegan, vegan books, and vegan vs. vegetarian.

Many people often become vegan as a way to lose weight, but quickly learn of the other benefits of veganism.

Not only does a low fat vegan diet help prevent and reverse heart disease, prevent cancers, help regulate hormone imblances, and help with a variety of other diseases, but it also helps people besides you.


Adopting veganism will be different for everyone. Some people will take more time adjusting, and maybe ease into it by first cutting back on either meat or dairy, or both. Others become vegan by jumping feet first and stopping all animal products at once, although that's a decidedly harder method.


I've heard of many people having success by simply dedicating themselves to one month of no animal products. What seems to happen is that the first few days are probably going to be treacherous, where you might feel tempted to stop everything. Then it gets a little easier, and by the middle weeks you are starting to notice differences in your bodies. By the end of the month, you might never go back. It's much easier to committ to four weeks than to tell yourself you will never eat ___ again.


As you are sorting out your method, you might want to become familiar with the exact definition of veganism. While some hard core vegans really care that everyone who calls themself a vegan sticks to the exact specifications, I would rather be open to including more people than forcing you to define yourself. In my opinion, if one more person stops eating some or all meat for one meal a day, it makes a difference for the world.

There are two things people struggle with immensely when starting a vegan diet; 1. ordering food in restaurants and 2. stocking their kitchen with ample food. Neither have to be as much of a struggle as we worry that they will be. Once you learn a few simple phrases, ordering out is simple. And once you go shopping for new food a few times, you will own the supermarket.


Here are a few quick guides to simple egg substitutes and milk substitutes.


And, lastly, you will probably find it really helpful to know what to do with all the vegan food you get at the store. Here is a basic guide to vegan meals as well as a dedicated vegan meal plan.


For more ideas on what to cook, check out our page for vegan recipes. If you are looking for ideas for vegetarian (not necessarily vegan) recipes, this is a great vegetarian recipes site.
