Vegan Newbie

[Dorisann69]

Hi everyone my husband and I have both signed up for Veganuary my Son turned Vegan over 3 months ago and says it's the best thing he has done. So we are going to join him and make healthy plant based meals and hopefully will continue after January. Any tips would be grateful x

Hello, welcome, and congrats to you for making this decision and for being open minded and willing to follow your son's lead!

It would be helpful to know from where your starting - what kind of diet you have now and for how long; what you have access to;; what kind of foods your looking to try - are you looking for foods to replace, or are you going to ask for more of a whole foods approach; are you looking for plant based foods only or are you striving for vegan, which would include the choices you make when purchasing products and clothes? And what/who has inspired you, aside from your son - are you active & healthy or after there any concerns you have with regards to getting specific nutrients or calories? Or are you motivated also by ethical and/or environmental concerns? Do you like to cook? Do you have any concerns about having support from friends, other family members, or co-workers?

We all come from different backgrounds and have a lot to share - let us know where to start

Welcome aboard - what a wonderful way to start the new year!
