The start of the year and January often bring with them intentions for change, new goals and habits and, of course, Veganuary. And with the focus that has been placed on adopting a planet-friendly diet that reduces meat and animal product consumption, the numbers of people taking part in it are increasing each year.
If you’re planning to adopt a vegan diet for a month or maybe longer, there are a few things to keep in mind to make the transition a bit easier and to keep your diet nutritionally balanced, so that the good intentions that pushed you to this change can be matched by feeling good physically and mentally Take it slow and at your own pace. Start by adding more plant-based foods and products into your diet before removing meat, dairy, eggs and fish. You can opt for substituting your milk with a dairy-free one, have a vegan breakfast, maybe a whole vegan day, transitioning to a few a week. There is no set rule. Any kind of transition is about progress, not a timeline. Take your time with any dietary changes and let your body adjust.
