How do you make the switch to a veg diet?
Some people “go veg” all at once, but many make a gradual transition. Moving toward a plant-based diet should be a pleasurable and fulfilling time of discovery, so take advantage of veg resources, seek support and move at your own pace. To begin your journey, try following these three easy steps: (1) Start the week with a “Meatless Monday.” Just one veg day a week will improve your health and save an animal’s life. (2) Substitute your favorite dishes with vegetarian versions. Try a veggie burger instead of hamburger or tofu instead of chicken in your stir-fry. (3) Experiment and have fun with your food. Purchase a new cookbook, search for recipes online and discover the many wonderful possibilities of veg cuisine.
