Been trying to go vegan or atleast vegeterian for a while now but its really difficult, any tips to make the transition easier?
Hi there! Here are a lot of tips that you can try in order to make things easier, take a look:
Have a positive attitude.
Be clear about why you’re becoming a vegan.
Don’t be hard on yourself.
Understand the health benefits.
Investigate the science behind nutrition, food and health.
You will not find changes instantly, so have patience and stay calm.
Make self-denial a habit and not just a trend. If you intend to truly change yourself, you must make these steps a constant guide for the rest of your life. Even though you may feel righteous for sharing your lunch or doing your homework for a week, if you lapse back into your bad habits, all of your hard work has been in vain.
Write down what you want to achieve, for each day of the week chose a point to focus on, practicing self-control in baby steps is less overwhelming and you are more likely to stick to your changes.
Don’t forget to sleep well. It will keep you healthy and mentally fit, as well as giving you a break from the stress of thinking about your behavior.
Forgive yourself when you slip up. Humans are not perfect. Every moment is a new opportunity to start again.
Do not procrastinate or else it will become harder to stick to your new routine.
Understand that you function based on incentives and reasons. Make sure you understand to give yourself rewards and recognize the logic behind whatever it is you are doing.
Think of it as an evolution: Relax and learn to love to cook, explore new cuisines, and be adventurous with food. Most importantly, be easy on yourself. Don’t view a vegan lifestyle as the finish line, but as an evolving process of conscious eating.
If you want, start quietly: Don’t announce what you are doing; focus on yourself and being conscious of your surroundings, body, and food addictions first.
Find a vegan support group: Tumblr offers a lot of vegan blogs and lovely people.
Don’t worry about getting enough protein: rich sources of concentrated protein include beans, soy products like tofu and seitan, quinoa, nuts, and hemp seeds.
Focus on vegetables (and fruits): Try to eat more healthy, whole foods to give your body the vital nutrients and antioxidants it needs.
Going vegan doesn’t mean deprivation.
Rethink how you shop for food: Many staples of a vegan diet like grains, beans, and nuts are cheap, and they usually store well if you buy them in bulk.
Try more Asian cuisines, they have tantalizing plant-based options originating from the spread of Buddhism. Italian pastas; Ethiopian lentil stews; satisfying and spicy Indian curries; and Mexican veggie tacos, fajitas or burritos (“just hold the cheese”)
Experiment with new favorite foods: Vegan versions of your beloved recipes will inevitably have different tastes and textures from what you are used to. Instead try to incorporate similar flavors in new dishes.
Enjoy the transition and don’t make it feel like a punishment or deprivation of food.
I always recommend trying to get rid of dairy first: Is the most difficult one since you’re addicted to it due to casomorphines.
