You won't miss eggs, and soy milk comes in many flavours, you can't go wrong. And you need to give up the diet coke! :) Edit: Your diet coke question http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind鈥?/a>|||I'm 12, and I went Vegan in the summer of 2008 (this year) and now it's December. But it's not hard to be vegan. Don't let others tell you that it is. Being Vegan is a very healthy lifestyle choice, and it will make you feel very good because you are helping animals that are stuck in factories.

Most of all, be proud of your choice. I became vegan over a year ago. I always stick to my diet as much as I possibly could; I admit there was a few times where I was offered something from someone who swore it was vegan, only to realize otherwise when I took a bite. This kind of stuff might happen, especially in the beginning, because a lot of people do not know what it means to be vegan. Don't give up, think of it as a lesson learned. Don't be shy to ask questions if you are eating out. Oh, and buy lots of different fruits!!|||I tried to go vegan a couple of years ago but it didn't work for me. I was having problem giving up cheese like so many people did. Eggs were easy to give up. Scrambled tofu is a great replacement for scrambled eggs in the morning and for baking there's tons of egg substitutes like Ener-G. Try out different milk substitute to see what suit you best. There's soymilk (which is available everywhere), almond milk (tasty!), oatmilk, rice mik and even hemp milk now? There's also a lot of cheese subsitutes on the markets. But keep an egg on the ingredients some soy cheese will contain dairy products in the ingredient.|||Be sure to get your vitamin B12, and at your age, pay close attention to your calcium, vitamin D, and iron in addition to your overall nutrition. Those last three are important whether you eat meat or not or whether you're vegetarian or vegan. This is a neat little guide from vegan outreach http://www.veganoutreach.org/guide/gce.p鈥?/a> http://www.veganoutreach.org/ good luck.|||educating myself on dairy products did it for me. Like someone else mentioned its hard in the beginning, because you make mistakes. Your still learning, but dont have the mentality " I screwed up, I may as well just give it up" kinda like "dieting" you have to stay the course. I was a vegetarian for a year before I decided to take the vegan plunge, which has only been a few weeks now. But I have learned that health food stores are our friends, and have lots of vegan options to help you get over the inital shock of " everything has by products"
