Beginner Vegan Alert

So I will spare the obvious reasons to why I turned vegan and just continue to me?

My name is Pixie, and I am a new Vegan. I am not here to push how I feel onto others, nor will I judge anybodies diets - We are all unique after all.

I am laid back, giggly, I post too many :):o<3 and continuously write 'haha' at things that I am actually giggling at, which tends to be everything!

I am seeking others with Vegan knowledge - recipe ideas, hunger tips, makeup advice - I am grateful for all!! Only just learning to cook, as well as changing my life for the better, so any help at all... :)

Speak soon lovelies!

Pixie <3

    Hey there! I've been vegan for a little over a month now, but I still have a lot to learn as well.

    Hi. There's no shortage of Vegan and Vegetarians here as there is no shortage of advice and food ideas. If you have just decided to be a vegan, I suggest you take it easy and don't panic. Just log dutifully and when you feel low, feel free to ask somebody to have a look at your diary and give you some hints. Everybody is different and every body is different, too. Some people struggle with the transition, I just fell straight into it and had no troubles or craving. I have gone back to Vegetarian diet (now eating some dairy produce), but I still trust my body to pick the foods it needs.

    A great website is www.veganessentials.com - they have all kinds of things, not only food items but also beauty items. Also, a great artisan vegan cheese website is www.VtopianCheeses.com - you can get their cheeses cheaper than from Vegan Essentials, but it takes a bit longer to deliver. And now there are tons of cookbooks for vegans, gluten-free, gluten-free vegans, raw food, etc.

    Would have helped if I knew where to find notifications on posts ha.

    So I am on day 8, no cravings, seem to have figured a few recipes and I am hitting my targets everyday.

    Thanks for all of this help you are all offering! Loving this app already!
