Excellent post. My 70 year old parents just went vegan. I thought they were crazy, but I was wrong. I am definitely following the leads you provided and reading up. I am also burning my last smoothie video. Lol . Nothing could compare to yours. Good job. Blessings.
that is seriously amazing!!! you have the coolest grandparents around. i will have to check your smoothie video, i am a smoothie drinker daily! thanks again
To inspire others hold vegan potlucks!! My partner and I do this every month. People discover new foods, try cooking just one vegan item, and have a great meal with great friends. Then we all go Contra dancing!
The combo of food, friends, fun, and dancing is really inspiring to a lot of people!
Awesome information!!
I made the switch to a heavily plant based diet last January. There are a few meats that I allow myself on rare occasion, ie venison maybe 2x a year. My wife (@danaedwards) has lived a plant based diet for about 6 years or so, with reservation for her guilty pleasure (pepperoni). We watched a documentary on Netflix called Food Choices, and it got me thinking. I finally decided to transition to a plant based diet. It was a lot easier than I thought. Some of the brands above are very helpful for sure.
We currently have the Forks over Knives Cookbook and have made a few things from it. I'm pretty handy in the kitchen, so thumbing through the cookbook I was able to see what flavors go well together.
In making the transition over to plant based and a good work out routine, I was able to lose about 25 lbs last year. I wasn't obese at all. Just unneeded crap weight as I call it.
So the goal for 2018 is to live a more vegan lifestyle! This is a great first step to that direction.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to put this together! Great job! Q: What about B12? And, my research debunks soy as a good “food”. Particularly soy oil, and soy protein powder. Your thoughts?
B12 supplementation is a great idea, you can get from any chemist. Regards soy being healthy or unhealthy. If you can just eat whole plant foods that's best. If you need to use soy products to help you transition great. If you want to use soy products infrequently no issue. I would not be eating processed soy products everyday.
You hit the nail on the head. Eat whole plant foods, even when we eat soy. I don’t mind eating some of Edame (whole soy) , Or tofu, or tempeh every now and then, but I stay away from soy oil, soy protein isolate, basically anything that needs to be processed to be edible. Eat it whole all the way!
Youre welcome thanks for reading! Ah yes B12. It seems as vegans we get two things, protein and B12 questions! most people are deficient in B12 as meat eaters so its not a bad idea to suppliment that. I personally have been taking a chew-able every other week with a high dosage. So i recommend just to be safe why not. As for soy i will leave you with this video to watch.
Great run down. Need to check out some of those links. I don't see my name on the YouTuber list. I guess I need to up my game up to some those greats haha :)
A diet without meat? Though I love vegetables as well but a meatless diet is kinda...out there for me. Still I'm not closing my door for a pure vegan diet, so well see what happens in the future. Thanks for the informative post. Have a nice day.
when we've done anything a specific way our entire lives, doing the opposite is totally going to be out there. until you switch and continue to live that change, and then eating meat becomes "out there" that's all it is but the rewards of letting the animal products go out weigh ten fold! hope you check out some of the info and gather your own personal thoughts!
