Three Methods:Doing It the Healthy WayForming the HabitsStaying On TrackCommunity Q&A

Most omnivores think becoming a vegan is impossible and can't even begin to imagine how they might be able to survive, let alone enjoy life without typical flavors they have been used to. They're just not being creative enough! With a positive attitude, a desire to make a change in a healthy direction, and some diligence in grocery aisles, it is possible to discover a whole new world (possibly a better one) and reap a multitude of physical, mental and emotional benefits (not to mention financial savings!).

I've been Vegan since the summer of 2015, and I found that it was easier to incorporate fresh fruit and veggies in my diet due to the season of the produce. But where I live, it gets pretty cold and the fruit takes a beating from the cold and it's not so enjoyable. Any suggestions?

What are the local fruits -- perhaps some berries or some native fruit foods? Try looking for those. Also, there is nothing wrong with substituting frozen fruits during the colder times of the year, as you still get the nutrients and can turn them into a variety of delicious dishes. Try to seek foods that travel well too, such as mandarins (which are often shipped around the world) and kiwifruit (ditto). Do some deeper research and find the alternatives available. Dehydrated and dried fruits are another option too. Don't box yourself in by seeing the problems -- always look for what is possible.

I want to be vegan, but I'd miss bacon and eggs and chocolate too much. What do I do?

wikiHow Contributor

Think about all the animals getting hurt every time you indulge in one of those foods. You can find plenty of horrifying images and videos online, but don't look them up unless you have a strong stomach. If that doesn't work, just look at the nutritional information. Bacon is all around horrible for you, and eggs have tons of cholesterol. As for chocolate, there's always dark chocolate! If you really love the taste of milk chocolate, get dark chocolate chips, melt them, and mix them with almond, soy or cashew milk and then freeze the mixture for four hours for some dairy-free chocolate bars.

My family doesn't have a lot of money. Is vegan more expensive?

wikiHow Contributor

Being a vegan is not expensive.

What if your family won't let you become vegan?

wikiHow Contributor

Just start slowly; for example, leave eggs. They are easy to replace. Then stop yogurt, get almond milk etc. Peta2 has a good guide for your situation.

I am vegetarian and have been wanting to become a vegan lately. Thing is that I love (milk)chocolate and my friends tease me for being a vegetarian, never mind a vegan. What should I do?

There are many, many types and brand of totally vegan chocolate that takes even better than milk chocolate. See if you can make the transition to dairy free chocolate, and you'll get the treat you want without breaking away from veganism.

What if In my country there are only few vegan friendly foods and restaurants?

Making your own vegan meals can be just as fun and much cheaper/more worthwhile. Try searching for new ingredients and recipes that vary and freshen up your vegan diet.

Can I be a vegan temporarily?

wikiHow Contributor

Yes, you may be a vegan for as long or as short of a time as you'd like. The change is not permanent unless you want it to be.
