I'm a vegetarian and I'm considering going vegan, I'm afraid I won't be able to commit to it and if I do I won't be able to do it healthily, i was wondering if you had any advise on going vegan?

Hi there @6669things ! 

Making any drastic shifts in our lives requires a lot of support and a huge commitment to stay on track. Review the reasons, why do you want to change? The most important thing is to be clear about why you’re becoming a vegan. You will not find changes instantly, so have patience.

I started watching documentaries, reading studies/books. Currently, I’m working on an ebook that will cover all you need to know about going vegan, meanwhile I have an article with some useful tips that you may want to take a look!

How do I start?

I've been having a lot of cravings for meat lately and it's been making me feel really bad 😕 I have been vegetarian for 6 months now and it's only been like this for the past 3 weeks but I'm really worried about it, is there anything you might suggest?

Most of us have gone through those periods. Don’t beat yourself up about it. I still have moments when I really want that pepperoni pizza or whatever, and I’ve been vegan almost 3 years.Recognize that you DIDN’T cave in and eat meat. Your morals and ideals won out. You can count on yourself to make the right decision. If you’re craving something in particular simply make a meat-free version of it using a meat replacement. Hopefully, that’ll get it out of your system. It gets easier, I promise!

What is a raw vegan?

Hey 6669things !

Raw veganism combines the concepts of veganism and raw foodism. It excludes all food and products of animal origin, as well as food cooked at a temperature above 48 °C (118 °F). A raw vegan diet includes raw vegetables and fruits, nuts and nut pastes, grain and legume sprouts, seeds, plant oils, sea vegetables, herbs, and fresh juices. There are many different versions of the diet, including fruitarianism, juicearianism, and sproutarianism.

What's your opinion on pets? Like cats and dogs?

Hey there! As long as they’re adopted I don’t see any cruelty on giving an animal a home and caring about them :)
