Back to should i go vegan?

Edited at 2014-11-01 18:05:02

I myself am a Vegan, and plan on being one for the rest of my life. The mistake that a lot of people make is that they assume that just eating vegetables and fruit is enough. You need protein, which, fortunately, can be provided in ways other than eating meat. I like to make refried or black beans and just kinda snack off that for the week to help fulfill that part of what I need to function. Something you will have to get used to is that you will have to be cooking for yourself a lot, because vegan products can be fucking expensive, so get used to the idea of cooking stuff from scratch. Ever since I've started being Vegan, I've felt healthier overall, and a lot lighter after eating a meal. I'm not sick and dying, nor am I losing tons of weight because I'm not eating meat or other animal products anymore. The first few weeks are hard, because your body has to get used to the idea of not eating anything you want anymore, and finding foods you can eat takes a bit. You might crave eating those foods again, but you must remember the reasons that you became Vegan in the first place, and push past it, Once you get past that point, you'll be fine, and eventually will generally speaking stop craving animal products much at all. Good luck in your Vegan endeavors, and if you have any questions, there's more than just one other Vegan out there, so don't be afraid to go asking around for advice and recipes.
