1. Give yourself GRACE! Remember that this is a journey and not a destination! Being perfect is impossible, try your best!

 

2. Get in tune with your body and its needs! LISTEN to your body always and understand what its communicating!

 

3.  Start with simple swaps: 

               Cow Milk ---> Nut/Seed Milk

               Dairy Butter ---> Vegan Butter

               Dairy Yogurt --> Vegan Yogurt

               Dairy Cheese ---> Vegan Cheese/ Nut Cheeze

               Canola/Vegetable Oil ---> Grapeseed/ Avocado oil

4. Know your ingredients, pay attention to lables:

             Gelatin ---> Pig Fat

            Casien ---> Milk Derivative 

             L-Cystein ---> Derivative of animal hair/skin

             Whey protein ---> Derivative of milk

             Vitamin D3----> Derivative of milk

5. Know Where you can get your essential vitamins and nutrients.

             B12 can be found in Nutritional Yeast. A vitamin needed for daily               functions.

6. Know that protein can be found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans and legumes but that you have to put in a little extra effort for complete proteins as a vegan. 

             Complete Proteins-->  A few examples: Quinoa, Buckwheat,                                                      Spirulina & Hemp Seeds. 

​

Sn: 1 Cup of Sunflower Seeds contains 29g of protein. Don't Be FOOLED. Protein is not an issue for a vegan lifestyle.
