I'm thinking about trying out veganism. What health-related things should I consider?

Also, any kind of advice or websites on veganism would be appreciated. Thanks a lot! :)

traceilicious, if vegans are social outcasts, it's because other people think they have the right to make it their business what other people choose not to eat. It's not the vegan's fault. It's the pompousness of American society that is at fault. You are a perfect example of this. Here I am asking about veganism and you are here telling me to eat meat and fish. That would be like if you asked a question about quitting smoking and I answered by recommending different types of tobacco.

I think you've made a wise choice on considering Veganism. [:
I'm a Vegetarian, But I am contemplating Veganism, myself. x]

Before you jump into your Veggie-Pants, take the time and ask yourself if you can do it.

You'll need, in your diet:

Iron - Found in Spinach and Laafy Green vegetables like Cabbage, Lettuce and Collard Greens

Vitamin B12 - Best source for me is a dietary supplement (I take a B12 one daily)

Protein - Found in Nuts, Seeds, Beans, And Soy bean products (Veggie burgers, Tofu, Etc)

If you want Omega 3 (Found in fish), You can get them by eating Flaxseed oil products (At my walmart, They sell a variety of Flaxseed oil products like Cookies, And crackers and such! Yum)

As long as you can get these things into your diet, You'll be JUST fine. [: !

Good luck, And healthy Eating!



Peace and Love <3
