I’m for economic reasons.
you are what for economic reasons? vegan or vegetarian?
If you’re going vegan, these cookbooks are a must. They have the most easy-to-follow and delicious recipes for foods that aren’t trying to pretend to be meats.

I am still eating some animal products sometimes. It is a slow process
Did your parents watch Food Inc, by chance? I watched that with my mom, and it made me feel very relieved to not be eating meat.
Oh, and what I said in the TP thread was no joke. You’ll never have a fully formed bowel movement again. Get used to it.

For me, first 1-3 months were rough, mostly the second month. I’m not about a year in, and feel way better than I ever did either on “paleo” or just a regular diet. It’s great for weight loss. I don’t need coffee anymore to feel energetic. Usually, doing something good for somebody/something else, gives you little benefit, but there are real benefits to being vegan, for yourself.
I was aware of the fact that I needed to eat way more but I still made the mistake of not eating enough. At first you should eat way more than you’re comfortable with, maybe even to the point you get a bit sick. That’s the most common mistake.
Maybe get a blood test for the most common stuff vegans get deficient in, a couple of months in. Do research.
Don’t be discouraged if it’s hard at first. One thing I didn’t realize is that the meat cravings absolutely go away, and the egg and milk cravings as well(the last 2 lasted way shorter for me than the first one). At this point, eating flesh from some dead animal carcass seems absolutely disgusting to me, so do the puss and ■■■■ filled milk and chicken menstruation.

I was vegetarian for a few years in my teenage years. I was vegan for about 6 months in the middle somewhere. It was really hard for me.
I just took a vegetarian pizza and put on some chopped up steak leftovers. Mmmm so good

Good for you! It’s better for the planet to go vegan, not to mention a more humane way to live. Don’t forget your vitamin Bs. Since I became vegetarian a few years ago I have no problem with weight gain at all. However I do have the occasional salmon and take fish oil, but no chicken, beef, pork or other land animals. My digestive system feels and works better and I don’t feel bloated after eating like I did when I ate all that meat for all those years
Also, was the documentary “cowspiracy”? It’s very eye opening.
Yeah i am getting sick everytime i eat animal products. Just can not 
how is your vegan diet change going?
