How should I enter a Vegan Diet?

There are several good vegan resources out there that don't include PETA and the PCRM - two organizations that are about as ethical as Enron. First I would go to a good website like Vegan Nutrionista (http://www.vegan-nutritionista.com/becom鈥?/a> and check them out. Then make an appointment to see a vegan friendly nutritionist to make sure you're diet will include the foods you need and they'll help you get a list of supplements you'll require to make up for the mineral and vitamin deficiencies in a vegan diet. (B12 and D are the most common deficiencies).



Oh, and the PCRM (Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine) is an unethical organization that has been criticized by the National Council Against Health Fraud, the American Council on Science and Health, and the American Medical Association for promoting irresponsible practices that are potentially dangerous to the health and welfare of Americans. They also site the PCRM as blatantly misleading Americans on a health matters and concealing the organization's true purpose as promoting animal 'rights'. Little wonder since the PCRM is almost wholly funded by PETA.How should I enter a Vegan Diet?
You should enter any diet by understanding as much as you

can before even starting. It would probably be best if you

had a great understanding of nutrition - first.



This way you could really decide if it is the "best" choice

for you or not.



There is a lot to know about food and how it can affect

your health one way or the other. Get some Healthy

Eating Guidelines to help educate yourself before starting

on such a diet.
Just do it at your own pace, some people transition instantly, some do it slowly, only you can decide. If you're not a particularly good cook it may take you longer as there's a lot more skill and variation in creating good vegan food than the relatively simple and uninspired meat dishes.How should I enter a Vegan Diet?
See a doctor or nutritionist. Or join a programme like the one linked to make sure that you eat the right vegan foods and combinations so that you don't become deficient in any nutrients like b12, iron and calcium.
I'm no vegan, I don't think I could ever survive. But I've had plenty of friends who are. Try transitioning to vegetarian for 2 weeks, and slowly move into vegan. I don't know if you're already a vegetarian but if you're not, it's actually pretty easy to not eat meat. I did it for 2 weeks, just as an experiment. Let anyone know who may cook for you (don't know your age) because it may just be a temptation. Only you know how fast to transition to vegan. I think over the course of 2-3 weeks. Honestly, the best way is to go straight in and just don't look back.



Check out this website, for how to stay healthy. Because it is hard, you're cutting off a lot of nutrients you get from milk, eggs, etc.

Good luck, and good for you :)How should I enter a Vegan Diet?
A vegan diet is one excluding animal products.

I'm sure you know this means meat, dairy, eggs, honey, and foods containing them.

Read labels. Ask questions. Use websites.

It's that simple.

If you've decided to be a vegan, why would you wait?

Learn about the 4 food groups:

* fruits

* vegetables

* whole grains

* legumes (peas, beans, and lentils)
You won't last a month without getting some sort of nutrient deficiency. The world isn't going to stop producing meat just because a few cultists decide to stop eating healthily, whine loudly and start a terrorist group (PETA) over it. We evolved as omnivores. Get over it.
