What period of time should I give for vegan diet to see if it suits me? I mean I believe there is some...?!
Answers: hard time at the beggining when body detoxicates and stuff. Is there aproximatelly known period of time when i shouldn't worry about feeling little sick?
I never went through a "detox time" and I went from eating meat at nearly every meal to not eating meat overnight and from eating dairy at almost every meal to not eating dairy about a week later.
The only "withdrawal symptom" I had was getting used to eating completely differently. I was never a big fan of veggies so the whole change was pretty significant for me. After about the first three months I ws used to eating vegetarian-style, but with a lot of soy foods to take the place of the animal products I was giving up and then I eventually got rid of most of those from my diet just because I found I no longer wanted them. Now that I'm used to eating this way I couldn't imagine any other way of eating/living.
I would highly suggest that, if you are going to try a vegan diet, pick up a book called BECOMING VEGAN. It'll tell you the basics for making sure you cover your nutritional needs. I would also urge you to pick up a package of Red Star Vegetarian Support nutritional yeast and use it in different recipes a few times a week. B12 is the only vitamin that is difficult to find in a plant-based diet int odays world (animal products have it because they eat dirty feed and if we ate dirty food we'd get B12, too - B12 comes from bacteria).
Good luck! You're going to love feeling healthy and knowing you are are making an effort to contribute less to the barbaric and unhealthy practice of using animals for food!
about three months. well at least it took me that long to get use to it.
I don't know as I am a born vegetarian. Anyway, perhaps you should give 6 months to adjust to it. I personally would feel happy if you succeed.
I know you asked specifically about vegan, but I've been vegetarian for about 8 months, and I think I'm just settling in to the lifestyle and adjustments now. I lost my appetite completely for about the first 2 months, and then things started feeling better after that.
it will be tough but I been vegan since I was born so I dont know...

Before I became vegetarian, I would stop eating meat for a few days and then eat it one day. I started to feel kind of sick, sort of "heavy" on the days I ate it so I soon gave it up completely.
I think it's more of a psychological thing, you might even call it a spiritual thing.
Some people say things about "toxins coming out of their pores" and so on, I find that hard to believe.
I couldn't really tell you. When I went vegetarian, I cut out all meat and slaughter byproducts overnight and never felt any ill effects. When I went vegan (20 years later) I didn't feel any different, either.
I would say give it a minimum of 30 days, not so much to detoxify, but to really get used to eating, planning meals, and trying new things.
as long as you can
Everyone is different. I will assume you know how to eat a healthy diet and lead a healthy lifestyle.
If you are doing a high level of exercise (say, competitive running or bicycle racing) you will see a difference and feel the benefits very quickly compared to a couch potato type lifestyle which may take a long while.
