Going vegan... any advice?!
Going vegan... any advice?
hi, im thinking about going vegan because ive seen the videos on chooseveg.com and was repulsed by not only the cruelty but also the fact that i am eating something in filthy and inhumane conditions. also cause i read somewhere that eliminating saturated fats (found in dairy and meat) from your diet will help clear skin..
also i know that a good vegan diet is really healthy and i care a lot about my health.
basically does anybody know of good vegan recipes and meal ideas, cause i know this will take planning (something i am very good at) and a committed attitude.
thanks in advance!

GO VEG! you know... not eating meat just makes you feel better and you will love it (i think it is fun). ok so! some of my favorite things to do for meals are-
tempeh (its a dry soy product) cooked with mexican spices and then wrapped in a tortilla and then grilled. have some avocado on the side and some vegan sour cream.
vitasoy makes a delicious chocolate banana soy milk you should try.
consider almond milk... it has such a light flavor i love it.
portobello caps are so hearty and filling. especially with a balsalmic dressing
vegan egg rolls!
you are not limited at all, and you will be perfectly healthy just remember to eat beans and drink soy milk. if you are feeling a little sluggish, you can buy a vegan protein supplement in any health store. best of luck and remember to have fun with it.
