If you have decided to go vegan , you should not forget the "why". The positive effects of a vegan lifestyle on yourself, animals and nature can give you motivation. You should also read, watch and learn. New information can motivate you. Veganism is a dietary habit and to maintain this habit, you must first get into the habit of reading labels. Product labels provide information about what is in the specific product. Once you get into the habit of reading labels, you will know what is in the products and you can act with a high level of awareness in this process.
You can use the list to determine whether or not the additives that are causing confusion or that you are not familiar with are animal products.
Get out of your habits, break the routine or leave your comfort zone... Whatever you call it, remember that you will succeed in any case. Do not think "what should I do if the flavors I have always consumed are no longer on my table?", because you will take a big step and discover new flavors by incorporating flavors into your daily diet that you have not tasted before or with which you are less familiar. When you start a vegan diet, you may think that the choice of foods is reduced, but there are so many things you can do with the nutrients that the soil provides us in each season. You can also start a seasonal diet. During the nutritional process, many sources like us will try to support you with recipes, etc. for your vegan diet, use the internet. Click for vegan recipes . Don't forget that there is an alternative to all those foods that you can't stand not to eat and that you don't want to do without. Even if they evoke animal associations at first glance, you should know that products like "milk, meatballs and sausage" are not only made from animal products. Almond milk, lentil meatballs and walnut sausage are flavors that you know and are familiar with.
Your greatest weapon in this process is knowing your weak points. Because everyone has a taste that they think they can't give up. Find them and try their vegan alternatives. If it doesn't satisfy you, don't forget to try another recipe... And finally, you should start everything from home. We believe that no one became vegan in a day. The changes you make at home will prove effective in organizing your habits.
