Does anyone have any advice/tips on becoming a vegan?!
I've been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for over five years and am thinking about going vegan; however, I'd like to hear some advice from people who have already made the transition!.!.!.!.

I have been a vegan for 8 years, and every time I go to the doctor's for a checkup, they are amazed at how healthy I am (I don't tell them that I'm vegan, for fear that they'll scold me)!. So I would recommend that you do go vegan!. If you do it correctly, it is extremely healthy!.
My first tip is to do some research!. Understand exactly why you want to do it before you make the plunge!. And make sure you know what you're going to eat!. Get some vegan cook books!. I'd recommend "How it All Vegan" and "In the Garden of Vegan" by Sarah Kramer and Tanya Barnard!. Most of the recipes in these books are quick and easy to make!.
I would also recommend taking a multivitamin, or at least make sure you're drinking fortified drinks and eating fortified foods (like cereal and nutrition bars)!.
Being a vegan is easy and fun once you get the hang of it!. I am constantly discovering new foods and recipes!.
My biggest tip would be to be proud of yourself!. You're making a huge decision that will benefit you, and animals, and the planet!. Don't let anyone try to make you feel bad about your convictions!.
You also need to have a sense of humor!. You will get a lot of stupid questions (some malicious, some ignorant, some genuinely curious)!. Learn how to laugh it off, or else patiently explain!.
Oh yes, and what's very important: understand that veganism is an ideal!. It is very difficult to be 100 percent vegan (as many dunderheads will be quick to point out)!. Just do your best!. If you accidentally eat some milk or eggs, don't beat yourself up!. If you want to be a perfect vegan, you will only let yourself down!. You'll become discouraged and give up veganism altogether!. Learn from mistakes and accidents and always strive to do your best!.
Cheers, and good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It has been proven that a vegan diet is not as healthy as a vegetarian or omnivorous one!. My advice would be to stay vegetarian!. If for nothing else, do it for your own well being!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
