    Potholes On Your Vegan Journey

    My journey of veganism started of when I was 20 years old in 2010. This was due to me having chest pains whenever I eat red meat and any diary products.

    Struggling to be accepting of non-vegan friends and family

    I feel what you are going through and do not worry it happens to about 90% of vegans when they start off the plant based eating. Just like a child who is learning to walk it will be something you get use to overtime. The most important thing is to always look at your way of eating as a...

    What foods do you miss?

    Since I became vegan due to health reasons I have trained my body to not even think of meat or any flesh as it has a huge danger for my health. At first I used to miss cheese since most of the time it was easy to have a pizza from Panarotis, However I have learnt to live without any of these at all.

    Thoughts on supplements?

    Vitamin B12 has been the main problem, and Vitamin D not too much of a problem since I live in a very sunny and hot country. I am always using multi-vitamins and this has really helped with giving me enough vitamin B12 and all the other nutrients that tend to be missed as a vegan.

    Raising a vegan toddler.

    My aunt had the same problem however she quickly learnt that it is vital for vegan babies to get as much breast milk while they are young since they will be using soy or vegan milk later on in life. A Child doctor even suggested that she does the breastfeeding longer. My reason for this is...

    Extreme lack of appetite after going vegan

    I am not surprised that you do not have appetite. This happened to me when I turned vegan. This is because vegan foods tend to have more fiber than other diets. This keeps you fuller for longer and you stay healthy doing this

    Friend played cruel joke

    Sorry to hear your friend would do this. Firstly you must understand that some people think our diet change is a joke so this can make our process difficult at times. This reminders me of some of our fellow vegan who posted here that he/she drank milk without knowing since the restaurant made a...

    Accidentally ate animal products...

    Very sorry to hear this. Just rest assured that it has happened to almost everyone who is vegan. It use to bother a lot in my case since I chose to go vegan due to heart related issues as I had reactions after drinking dairy or eating meat. Throughout the years I ended up telling myself to...

    Not wanting to join family and office events...

    I understand your frustation because I was exactly like that at the beginning and what I have found is that this happens to a lot of newbies. What I also do is to have something worth me as the others are saying but I always have a snack with me like nuts or a bar filled with protein to help me...
