Simply Vegan
The vegan lifestyle is becoming increasingly popular, especially among the young and baby boomers alike. In addition to not eating any food from an animal source‐including meat, chicken, eggs and dairy‐they may also choose not to wear shoes, belts or any other clothing made from an animal or animal source.
What do Vegans eat?
This is perhaps the most common question about veganism. A vegan diet includes all grains, beans, legumes, vegetables and fruits and the nearly infinite number of foods made by combining them. Many vegan versions of familiar foods are available, so you can eat vegan hot dogs, ice cream, cheese and vegan mayonnaise.
What about protein?
Vegetarian and vegan people often attempt to get their protein needs met through beans and bean products, also including nuts, seeds, tofu, edamame (a young, whole soybean that is relatively easy to assimilate).
What is your relationship with foods?
Stop and think for a moment about how you feel throughout the day. Do you sometimes feel fuzzy and tired after lunch? Do you sometimes feel angry and irritable between meals? Do you sometimes feel energized by a great meal? Think about what you ate that gave you these good or bad feelings.
Scientific research and personal experience both demonstrate that what we eat affects how we think, feel, and act. Still, most people don't acknowledge the connection between their food and their mood.
How can I become a vegan?
So you’ve decided to become vegan. But now what? Some people easily go from eating meat to vegan right away, while others struggle with their new commitment, or choose to go vegetarian first and then slowly omit eggs and dairy. There's no right or wrong way to do it, but you may want to learn about what's worked for other people. However you do it, keep your goals in mind and remember why you are choosing to adopt a vegan diet.
