Week 4 Round Up: More Tips For Being Vegan

January 30, 2012

Week 4 Vision Board Snapshot

As January comes to a close, I realized that 365 tips for being vegan is a lot of tips. My creativity (and discipline) will be tested this year. What did I get myself into?! However, I can do it and so can you, so I present seven more tips.

Don’t forget to spread the word and share these tips with your friends and family!

Tip #22: Hook up.

Valentine’s Day is only a few weeks away. If you’re single, try an online dating site for veg-heads: veggiedate.org, veggieconnection.com or greensingles.com. Better yet, infiltrate the mainstream dating scene at eharmony.com or match.com. Perhaps your new partner will go vegan! (By the way, online dating can work. I speak from experience.)

Tip #23: Get educated.

Sign up for a vegan nutrition course. Check out this affordable course at Oakland University. Click on “course registration” in the top right corner, then search “vegan.” Bonus: You will meet like-minded folks!

Tip #24: Continue your education.

If you read The China Study (and I think you should), then you might be interested in this eCornell course on plant-based nutrition created by the author. Bonus: You can meet like-minded folks using its social networking site or in its LinkedIn group once you sign up.

Tip #25: Be prepared.

Keep healthy snacks with you, so you won’t go hungry or worse, succumb to convenience junk food. Pack your bag with some raw nuts, fresh or dried fruit or granola bars. You’ll be glad you did when hunger strikes at inconvenient times. Try this “Yummy Oat Bar” recipe. It’s a tasty and healthy between-meal snack.

Tip #26: Explore the Vegan Essentials website.

This is the place to shop for all things vegan. The site stocks great options for vegan transition food, including 45 different cheese alternatives. I’m eager to try the vegan “Feta”. Anybody tried it? Have fun trying new foods! Bonus: Sign up for their monthly newsletter and get a discount code to save money. You will be supporting a vegan business too.

Tip #27: Be awesome.

Check out the 75 Reasons Being Veg is Awesome by VegNews. What’s your favorite reason?

Tip #28: Learn your ABCs…

…the ABCs of animal ingredients that is. You may be surprised where you will find hidden animal ingredients.

Okay, so you want something egg-like for breakfast without the cruelty. Type in “vegan eggs” in the google box and hit search. Here are a couple of the results:

Celebrating three years!

January 12, 2008

January 1 marked my three year anniversary of becoming vegan. In more ways than I can count, this has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. When I made the decision, it was all about the food, the clothes, and the animals. I never expected all the great people who would come into my life because of this one decision. I have met the best people over the past three years including many new friends from volunteering (my tribe) and my boyfriend from veggiedate.com (more on this later!).

If I would have known then what I know now, I would have made the decision much sooner. Something to keep in mind for the next big decision. Perhaps you are considering going vegan this year? Consider the possibility that this change will grace your life in more ways then you could ever imagine. It’s easier than ever to be vegan in this world. Check out this press release on market trends for proof. So what’s stopping you?

Questions on going vegan welcome and encouraged. Come on…give me something to write about!
