Giving up all animal products at once might seem like the best way to rip off the proverbial meat bandage, but it can be too shocking to your life and to your body.

You might want to begin focusing your meals on beans and on veggies at first, moving later into adding tempeh and tofu as you begin to expand your cooking repertoire. Slowly, change out more and more meals for veggie options until you feel completely comfortable without eating any meat in your diet. Once you've reached that point, you can begin to head into veganism." http://createyourself.co.uk/item/326|||Ease into it. start by cutting off one meat at a time. like first chicken. then pork, then seafood, then beef, and take it easy. i say that your body will want those foods, but you CANNOT give in.
