To be honest choosing to have more plant foods than animal foods in my diet has been one of the BEST decisions I’ve made in my life. The most important thing to know is it’s not just a diet; it’s a lifestyle!

The Most Realistic Tips and Hacks for Going
Plant-Based
Ditch the Dairy: For drinking and cooking, replacing cow milk with UNSWEETENED plant milk works best, then gradually working your way up to other options.
Some alternatives to ditch the dairy would be to try replacing your yogurts, half and half, and spreads with nut-based or other non-dairy options.
Don’t worry about the calcium, this option gives you just as much vitamins and minerals your body needs for growing strong healthy bones.
Meatless Mondays: A catchy phrase with some eye-catching recipes. So go on and dust off your those cookbooks and fix your old favorites just without the meat.
Eggs Exit left: With so many options to go eggless, the possibilities are endless. Many brands such as Just Egg, Follow your Heart’s Vegan Egg, or Bob Red Mill’s egg replacer are all packed with nutrient-rich ingredients and a texture just like eggs.
Swap the Sweets: Need I say more?! With many alternatives swapping honey for agave or better yet coconut nectar should be no problem.
The Alternative: Make your transition even easier having a chef pick foods for you with Veestro a plant-based meal delivery.
Or using happy cow, an easy online directory of vegetarian, plantabsed and vegan restuarants in you local area. You can find more about this in the video below.
