    yes me!!! I just started today and I'm just starting out the transition to becoming vegan. I feel lost because all I know is Keto and Protein from animals and calcium from dairy, etc, etc. I would love to find a support group!

    I’m not strictly vegan, but I try to keep the bulk of my diet vegan.

    Take a look at this web site:

    https://veganhealth.org/

    Especially these sections:

    https://veganhealth.org/tips-for-new-vegans/
    https://veganhealth.org/meal-plans/

    If you're becoming vegan for ethical reasons, go you! If you're becoming vegan for health, vegan eating is compatible with good health, but not a guarantee of health improvement (there's more to it than just skipping animal-sourced foods, by far; and eating vegan actually makes good nutrition ever so slightly more challenging than it is for omnivores - that web site will give hints why). If you're going vegan for weight loss, it's a tangent. Vegan eating is compatible with weight management, but no guarantee: There are quite a few overweight vegans in the world.

    For clarity, I'm not vegan, but have been vegetarian for nearly 50 years, so am pretty clear on how fully plant-based eating works (and doesn't). There are a plethora of vegan advocacy sites nowadays that misrepresent the science, and some so-called documentaries that are also more about advocacy than objectivity.

    I'm not trying to discourage you (or anyone) from becoming vegan: It's fine, and can be very healthful.

    Just joined again. I've been vegan 6 years. There is vegan junk food too, and I've been enjoying it too much. Need to get back on track to WFPB.
