As from starting today i am making the switch to vegan i am very positive and i have been wanting to do it for a very long time now.
By reading the article i have discovered what Gelatin is made of and it made me sick to my stomach that i never once knew this.
I am really happy to start my next chapter for myself to make a difference within myself.

Hi! My family and I have recently made the transition from omnivore to vegans and we are loving it! I was a chef for many years so cooking up fun ideas with veggies comes relatively naturally to me. Our decision to transition was based mostly on the environmental effects which means to me that a diet is not enough and we must embrace a full vegan lifestyle. Could you recommend some reading material for non-food related Veganism? Thanks for all the inspiring information!

In reply to Julia. I have the same problem in my family. I grew up eating meat and every night it was meat potato carrots peas and corn. Much as I loved this growing up my desire to eat a more varied diet full of fruit and veggies has taken over. I find that having vegan alternatives for things like burgers, chicken nuggets hotdogs and sausages is helpful. Now my brother is on board and even likes the vegan cheese I asked him to buy. My family have seen that I am serious about making changes to a healthier lifestyle and now try to support me as much as possible. I still relapse at times but I love vegan cheese and enjoy coconut yoghurt and veggie sausages. Start small, be consistent and your family will come around once they see you are serious and have adopted it as a way of life.

In reply to Brittany. Thanks heaps Brittany! I have transitioned really easily, I haven't been missing anything so far. I thought cheese would be an issue but my convictions are stronger than my taste buds :-)

Hi guys, hope you are doing well! I just wanted to express my gratitude and a big thank you to you both for the wealth of information and advice given on this blog. I have been browsing it since last week to find all the relevant information I need to transition to veganism and it makes it so much easier. Internet can be sometimes overwhelming with so many different sources but this blog sums up it all. I am planning to become "officially" vegan at the end of the week, I can't wait :-)

Hi Brittany and William, thank you so much for this comprehensive guide! I've been vegetarian for several years and have recently made the switch to vegan. Your website has been such a valuable resource during my transition! I share your view that "all-or-nothing thinking" isn't constructive during a gradual transition - small steps are better than no steps!
