Hello everyone

I'm new from the UK. Just finished reading the Kind Diet and I'm totally inspired. I've always dabbled with vegetarianism, preferring to cook only 1 or 2 meaty dishes a week. I started off by cutting out dairy and I felt so much better after a week. Now I'm trying a bit harder and will give vegan 110%. I hope this forum will be very helpful.

Hey Julia,

Dont worry too much and take it one step at a time. You might want to start with making dishes that you've made before vegan. Substituut meat with tofu, beans, brown rice, lentils etc. These are not too expensive...
Eating rice with vegetables is a great way to.
If you drink soymilk or any othe kind of milk it gets you also plenty of everything. Eat some nuts, lots of fruits/vegs, make nice smoothies. You'l ben fun. And slowly slowly it will grow on you.
I started like that and slowly slowly incorporate some of the more excotic suggestions... Just look at how your body reacts. What do you like and what you like less... What feels good, what suits less...
Good luck!
