How To be Vegan Any Ideas ?


 

Veganism is not a newly discovered thing in ours modern society but its has been practiced centuries before us. Many famous and distinguish peoples in the past are also  adopted this vegan lifestyle in to theirs life "Vegan Quotes", like Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Charles Darwin, Leo Tolstoy and many others. So make it clear that veganism is not known just by now but its been there in all the times since human exist in this planet.
And, in this lately millenium veganism has become more increased it popularity due to several worldly issue that take place on this planet. Peoples tune to this vegan diet vary by theirs personality, some are due to healthy concern, enviroment  problems , animals welfare and etc.
But talking about vegan diet is easier than do it. For some people its not difficult to change to this vegan way of life and many other are struggle to do it.
I think to be able to adopt this vegan lifestyle is only about changing a habit, and as we know an habit is something that ingrained in peoples mind in quite some pereeode of time and difficult to root it up, especially on meat eating behaviour.
So that’s  why some people are struggling to switch from  animals based diet to plants based diet because in the beginning we are told to eat meat to sustein ours  body and maintain ours health and meat has become ours friend in daily life.
Although is difficult and struggling to change from animals diet to plants based diet or vegan  but its not impossible to change it, but it will need ours effort, will power, patient and time to achieve this goal
So if you the one who want to learn to become a vegan but still struggle and have a difficulty to start it , there are some suggestion that you may take into consideration.
Get your self motivation
Every things in this world that we willing to do we need a motivation, the  stronger is the best in order for us to achieve best result.  Otherwise it will not work or the result will not good. So, if we aim to become a vegan first thing first we must motivate ours self to become one. And how to get your motivation in vegan diet , maybe by reseach to get more information about vegan diet, get inspire from peoples or friends that already a vegan by listen to their story how they become a vegan,  read more books or magazines about vegan diet and how it benefits, know more peoples or famous peoples who are vegan inspire by their examples about vegan. Try to eat more vegan foods, there is so many tasty and delicious now a day in the market  maybe can make you easy turn to vegan diet.
Change your mind is means change your habit
Before, ours mind was used to  received all kind good information about animal based diet and it benefit to our human body, but now we must train ours mind in to the opposite direction. Tell ours mind all kind a effect and harmfull about meat based diet and the other hand we fill ours mind with all kind a good and  benefits about  vegan diet. In gradual way, hopefully ours mind will understand and the habit of eating will change.
 Associate more with vegans
Try make more association to the peoples or group of people who are vegan and we will feel supported and not alone. Because if we only make friend to those meat eater and they are not cooperate with us sooner or later we will get drag to theirs side. Otherwise its difficult to talk veganism subject to those peoples.
Plan your diet
Most peoples start from  vegetarian diet before they switch to vegan diet, but for the people who unable to do that, maybe they should reduce their meat consumption in gradual way like one a month vegan diet, twice a moth vegan diet, one a week or twice a week etc until ours body and mind can accept the plants based diet only. Because doing this way its can help your body make the transition as smoothly as possible. Any sudden, drastic change in your diet would likely wreak havoc on your body, especially if you go from being an omnivore to being a vegan. Listen to your body and be easy on yourself. Don't force yourself to completely change everything at once without guidance. You need to know how to properly substitute for certain elements such as protein and fats before thinking that a head of lettuce is all you need for the rest of your life
Create Your Balance Food
You don't have to be a nutritionist or medical doctor to understand the background of healthful living, but it helps to add ammunition to your quest to be consistent in the face of possible discouragement and disappointment, which you will be confronted with often. The knowledge helps should you find yourself or your family disgusted with the results of your experimentation. There are plenty of easy-to-read materials regarding the subject. Learning as much as you can about nutrition, food and health will only do you good.
Learn to cook
Most prepared foods are going to be off-limits, so whether you like it or not, you're going to have to learn to cook. It'll give you a greater connection with your food, as it can be exciting and very rewarding. Recognize that the taste and experience of your food is just as important as the practicality of implementing it into your lifestyle. Be creative and choose a variety of produce and products to avoid monotony and boredom. There are many vegan cookbooks and online recipe sites nowadays to provide you with inspiration. Investing of your best energies and mental capabilities to the daily task of cooking vegan meals can enhance your enjoyment and satisfaction of re-training your taste buds to savor new, even strange flavors.
Time to share
There is nothing more satisfying than being acknowledged for pleasing somebody else's tummy. Treat some family or friends to a gourmet meal that you yourself prepared with all the trimmings. Be a vegan evangelist through positive demonstration and help others discover how they too can make that transition from eating flesh to savoring fresh, whole foods.
