Okay so I kind of forgot to update this. But here are some helpful ways to go vegan!

1. Find out WHY you want to do it. The most important thing I have to say about this is that it probably should be deeper than just to lose weight or be healthier. Those are important, of course, but there are other reasons to consider. Watch some documentaries; I recommend Cowspiracy highly, it talks about how the animal agriculture industry is negatively impacting the climate!
2. SLOWLY cut out animal products or else you will be overwhelmed!! Replace regular milk with almond/nut, soy, flax, oat etc milk! They taste amazing, and have great nutritional value. There are other replacements for things you'd normally eat, but they can be expensive.
3. Find a place near you for local, inexpensive produce. Vegetables and fruit carry most of the nutrients you need throughout the day, so stock up on them! Local produce places and farmers markets are usually way cheaper than grocery store prices!
4. Try new things! As of this year, I've tried guacamole, hummus, sushi, vegan meat substitutions and a plethora of other great vegan options. Keep your options open to enjoy what you eat!
5. If you mess up - it's okay, I promise! It's very hard for many people to transition to being vegan so it only makes sense you will accidentally(or not so accidentally) slip up. It's understandable, but just remind yourself of why you want this change in your life.
6. Read vegan blogs, recipies, watch YouTube videos etc. This can give you great ideas and tips!

I'll be posting vegan recipies and a glimpse of some things I eat daily!

Another tip I have to make things easier is to GET THOSE NUTRIENTS!! I found that when I first went vegan, I tracked my meals on this app and saw that I was not getting enough iron and protein, which is typical for vegans. I found high protein foods like tofu, soybeans, beans and lentils etc, and also food high in iron like spinach, and worked it into my diet (:
