Well, transitioning from a non-vegan diet to a vegan diet might seem like a dramatic or an extreme move. But with the current upsurge of rising trends on veganism, this should not be a hassle at all.
Enhance your learning curve
You may want to transition to a vegan based diet. But, where do you start? You must get your basics right. This is the first and the foremost step in familiarizing yourself on what a vegan based lifestyle is all about. Let me break it down for you in few simple steps:
Adding to your diet
Non-vegans always feel they are losing out on something. They lose proteins when they reduce their intake of eggs or meat. Dairy lovers can’t get rid of the delicious taste of milk, cheese or cottage cheese. This feeling of exclusion can make the transitioning phase more difficult than ever.
Add to your diet rather than subtracting from it. A few tips or highlighters on how this can be done:
Discover your real motivation for change
Going on a diet-variation plan and going on a vegan based living are two completely different sides to the whole coin. Avoiding animal derived products can be a boon for the welfare of animals and the ideal way to combat climate change. After all, you are taking a major life-style change to tell yourself that you don’t want to be a part of the system that accentuates environmental degradation. Keeping this mind, you need to stay motivated. There is no going back and forth once you take up vegan lifestyle. To achieve a certain degree of consistency to your flow of thinking, these are two important steps:
Stay positive
You must stay excited and charged up so that a vegan lifestyle slowly integrates itself as a major part of life.
Start participating in vegan outreaches or campaigns. Stay connected with like-minded individuals via phones or chat rooms. Discuss or participate in online webinars or seminars promoting veganism. This way, you develop a sustained interest in keeping up with your values for decades to come.
Take time to learn simple and easy recipes
You need to focus on exciting stuff to add to your diet rather than always thinking that you leave out on your favorite dishes. Take time to learn simple and easy recipes. You can make chocolate oats if ordinary oats seem boring to you. You can add strawberries to your bowl of corn flakes. You can add a bowl of cooked peanuts instead of a meat burger.
Try learning new recipes and experiment with your cooking skills. You can find thousands of recipes on the internet to veganize your meat-based or egg-based dishes. Make the transition slow and steady. An extreme vegan diet might look daunting during the initial stages. But you have umpteen ways on how you make the transition easier than before.
Take it one step at a time
You need to make your transition from a non-vegan to a vegan one in a phased out or a carefully planned out manner. Take it forward one step at a time.
These are fabulous tips and ideas on how to transition from a non-vegan diet to a vegan diet.
