Vegans In Distress

Hello Fellow Vegans,
I was hoping I could get some great suggestions on books, sites, or documentaries that could provide me with as much information on how to Be Vegan, Stay Vegan, and LOVE being Vegan. I need the push, I love this lifestyle but I find my friends and family sway me which has caused my body much harm. Any support wuld be greatly appreciated.
I wish you all the best.
xoxo SkinnieVeggie

    Documentaries: Vegucated and Forks Over Knives both give great motivation on going and staying vegan. Vegucated follows three people as they try out veganism for the first time, and what they go through making the switch is totally relatable.

    Websites: Veganhealth.org is the best source for nutrition information. thriveforward.com is a website sponsored by the makers of Vega that has a wealth of information on plant-based nutrition and fitness. I've been a vegan for six years and I still get a lot out of the information there. Herbirvoreclothing.com sells awesome vegan clothes, books and accessories, and if you like them on Facebook you'll see the owners are really funny as well.

    I'm sure I could provide more resources, but I'm in a hurry. :p
    Add me as a friend if you want some support!

    Google: Earthlings and watch for free
    Goggle: Vegucated and watch for free

    Good luck! There are a few vegan groups on here as well.

    Oh She Glows is a website with fantastic vegan recipes. Some great books include "Eat and Run" by Scott Jurek and "Thrive" by Brendan Brazier, especially if you are a runner/athlete, or an aspiring runner.
