Welcome Louise --
I¹m the only vegan in my house ‹ I went vegan nearly 3 years ago, and it
was a sudden change ‹ I wasn¹t even vegetarian before that! Just read The
China Study and went cold turkey, so to speak. It seemed hard at first ‹
but it will soon be easy as you get used to it and learn new recipes. I love
eating this way now ‹ I no longer want any of the old foods I used to eat.
People at my work tend to order lunch in all the time, and it used to be
hard to eat my healthy meals, but now I look at the things they¹re eating
and think YUCK! No way am I putting that in my body.
For eating out, I find the easiest choices are Subway (the veggie patty in
Australia is vegan can¹t speak for other countries) or Asian places.
Mexican places are good too, so long as they don¹t use lard in their beans.
Bean burritos loaded full of lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, etc. Even guacamole,
but ask ‹ some places here put sour cream in theirs.
My biggest tip would be to scour the recipe books as there are some very
good ones out there ‹ and even online, my favorite site being
http://blog.
Best of luck!
Anna
