From Vegetarian to Vegan?!
From Vegetarian to Vegan?
My 15-year-old daughter and I are ready to take the important step from vegetarian to vegan eating. If you have any words of advice, I would surely appreciate it. I know our food options will narrow, but sacrificing so little to help save an animal is worth it.
Answers:
You're not just helping animals. Eliminating animal proteins from your diet could save YOUR life and the life of your daughter. The best motivation I can think of for you both is to read a book called THE CHINA STUDY. You will never regret your decision after reading that book and any time you get a dairy or egg craving you will instantly think of how much less chance you have of getting cancer and heart disease and you will have NO DESIRE to touch the stuff. I also think all new vegans should get a book called BECOMING VEGAN. It's sort of a primer on important things you need to know about changing your diet. It really is so important to do it right! It's easy to mess up and end up hating it if you don't prepare and educate yourselves.
You're doing a WONDERFUL thing! You will get used to the changes in no time. Your body (and sweet dairy cows and poor defenseless chickens) will thank you!
