• First, educate yourself about what a vegan diet entails and why it is beneficial to your health. You need to understand and embrace the philosophy or you will not be able to make such a drastic dietary change. Secondly, make the change over time.

If you take your time and let your body adjust you will be eating a completely different diet before you realize it.
