How To Go Vegan | Tips For Beginners

[@jaimemara1]

You would also be very surprised at how willing (and sometimes excited) a chef is to make you something off menu. I went to a Polish restaurant with a group of friends and ate before I went bc NOTHING on the menu was vegan. I was totally fine with this and ordered a drink when I got there. The waiter actually asked if I was sure I didn’t want food and I said I was vegan. He walked away then came back and said that the chef asked if he could make me a vegan dish. It was a delicious vegan risotto!

Just stumbled onto your channel. Here i am hours later after watching 12 videos. Thanks for all the content to those of us interested in adopting the lifestyle!

I honestly hadn’t even know that silk was made from a worms silk. I don’t have anything silk but wow. Thankful I found your page. I’ve been vegetarian for a year and want to go vegan. I have been learning so much! I have S4 cervical cancer and changing my diet alone has helped so so much! 🖤 I’ll ask my doctor to take blood to see what vitamins I need 🖤

Love this - didn't even consider clothing. I ride motorcycle, some of the BEST protection comes from leather. There are a few great alternatives (Kevlar), but good ol' leather .... I can't imagine a ride without.

Sharing good vegan food with family members and friends really is the way to get them to accept veganism a lil more. I made all my Christmas cookies this year vegan and EVERYONE in my family and my boyfriend's family loved them. It made me feel a lot more accepted.

[@HardeeQuinnDee]

I loved this. Mainly for one reason: You’re realistic. I appreciate that you don’t mind if someone needs to take it slow like going meatless Monday’s or vegetarian at first. Some channels I stopped watching because they seem to look down on that choice. For them it’s like vegan from day 1. Nothing else! I appreciated your view. I also love your fast food vlogs lol. It doesn’t help my weight but I was glad to see I can sub black beans for free at Taco Bell.

[@laseysimon7633]

I’ve been vegan for (almost) 2 years now and I still watched all 31 mins of this video. Super helpful to refresh the things I know and learn new things I didn’t! Thanks for the video guys. Totally sharing this along! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@laseysimon7633]

Ps: I also had a phase of being the “angry” vegan but you guys helped me see veganism with a new perspective, and since I’ve chilled out more, more people have asked me about it and said they want to reduce if not remove animal products from their lives, so I feel like it definitely helps the movement when we don’t fit the stereotype most people have of vegans! 🙏🏼

[@zoegrace1142]

Me too! My vegan anniversary is February 1st. That's 2 years so far and one of the best decisions of my life!

[@shippermd]

Informative, helpful vid! Thank you! So as someone who has to avoid Gluten AND Soy AND Nuts/Legumes, my only safe Protein options are: Soy-Free Beyond Meat Products, Soy-Free Chickpea-based Tofu (whenever it's released), Cashews, Chickpeas, Lentils, Seeds, occasional black beans, Jackfruit. And most fruits, veggies, Rice, Oats, Potatoes, Quinoa. Guess I could try it, hmmmm. 🤔

[@micheleowen16]

Your take on beginning veganism is concise, caring and compassionate. Lovely video.

[@green5sing]

Bought the bundle immediately! Love this idea. Thank you for the videos. I've been subscribed for awhile! Research is the way I went to help with my son's severe keratosis pilaris. The more I learned, the more it became Personal for many reasons. I prepared my kitchen, educated myself, gave away a lot of food to friends, downloaded a nutrition app to help, and started two years ago. I truly quit all animal foods cold turkey and have never looked back. I wish I would've known what I know now many years ago. Good luck to all on your journey. Channels like this have truly been "my vegan family"! 💖💖💖

[@Sarah-eb9rz]

This is awesome you two! I wish this was available for me when I first went Vegan. Love that you both took the time to make this video. Going to share with friends. 😊

[@TerryJ950]

Another thing to watch out for on labels - “natural flavors”. These often contain animal products. Best bet if possible is to check for vegan symbol on packaging.

[@charlenestraw.]

omg. I had no idea about the l cysteine I have a feeling I’ve purchased bread with this in it as it was never on my radar. Thanks for the information.. I’ve been vegan for around 9 months and had absolutely no idea that was even a thing.

[@tayjessrandom]

I bought the e book bundle and I love the recipes in the book you shared!❤️❤️❤️

[@Yeahthatshowifeel]

I’ve been vegan for four months almost five and I’ve got to say I love your channel it’s so helpful!!!❤️

[@molly4495]

Vegan for almost 3 years and I've made so many of your recipes. I think the chicken adobo is my absolute favorite!

[@islandonthelake]

I was raised vegetarian so the hardest thing for me is giving up cheese. i've been trying to go completely vegan since last May but where I live (South Korea) it's so hard. Most of the substitute don't exist here, some that do are freaking expensive. Eating out vegan in KOrea.. yeah mostly not an option unless you go to a foreign district. It takes way more planning, organization skills and ordering from abroad .. its so tiring at times :(

[@AreYouExperienc3d]

Wow, this is pretty much a mini-documentary haha, so awesome! Thanks for helping educate newcomers, current vegans, and everyone in-between alike. You guys rock!

[@zoegrace1142]

I just purchased the ebook and downloaded your book first and I already got my $$ worth. I learned that there are 2 types of tofu and how to fool proof press it. Thanks guys. Love you guys and your videos!

[@K16-f4h]

You both are the best! Thanks for helping me and everyone who is giving veganism a chance💚🌱

[@jenniferballswitchhouse37]

I’ve been vegan for six months and you two have helped me SSSOOOOO much! This video was awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CurlyHijabi]

Great video I love it. There’s also a really good docuseries on Netflix called Rotten. It’s not about veganism but it tells you about the dark side of the food industry (not really gory though) as an example it’s talks about the bad side of honey and it’s effects on bees and the meat industry. I’m not doing it justice but it’s sooo worth the watch.

[@sarapagan5449]

Thank you so much for this! You didn’t talk to long, everything was extremely helpful and gave me a lot of confidence towards my transition for this new year. Been vegetarian for a while now and I’m finally attempting vegan. So excited!

[@siouxsiebanshees4216]

Thank you for the "you're gonna messed up" part. I've been vegetarian for 8 years and I consider myself as a vegan/plant based* for something like three years, maybe four now. I'm also still recovering from eating disorders, first anorexia and then bulimia. And even tho 99% of the time I eat plant based food, there's still a few days (5, 6 a year) when I binge on dairies. And nonetheless I already hate myself for binging, but knowing that I "break" my plant based diet is even more shameful to me. So hearing this, even if it's no the same context, it kinda helps. Anyway, thanks again for this message, but also for all of your content. You guys are amazing and I hope you'll keep going this way! *(I specified plant based, because I'm not completely there yet when it comes to everyday products like cleaning products and such, but it's on a good way!)

[@teaganthomas4867]

Thank you so much for this video! Not only are you both relatable but are making this transition a lot easier. I have tried going vegan overnight in the past and I failed miserably too. You guys are so real. PS Berry is too cute!

[@stefaniadiagoupi7137]

discovered your channel 4 days ago and i m watching your videos like a maniac lol..you are amazing guys thanks so much for the information, trying veganism a month already and feeling blessed. many kisses from Greece :)

[@emilierenaud3951]

You Guys are amazing ! Thank you for this video it’s so helpful ❤️my husband and I have been vegan since November and it’s one of the best decisions we ever made. Hello from Ottawa Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@jessicastull6013]

Wonderful video! Thanks so much!

[@TheBroccChannel]

Awesome. Been vegan for a little over a year, but learning never stops. Thanks, guys!

[@MrsMMcG]

Great tips for the newbies, guys! Love the shoutout to Physician’s Committee and Dr. Barnard! He rocks 😎 Happy New Year ♥️♥️

[@alwaysneed2learn806]

The Invisible Vegan is another wonderful documentary which focuses on the cultural obstacles to veganism.

[@michellegreen4743]

So I live in Wyoming and people here hunt and farm and ranch and are just VERY protective of their meat. The university is an ag school with an animal science program and a meat lab (where students learn to butcher and such!) as well as an experimental farm. I had gone back to eating meat when I moved here because I faced distaste before I had even arrived! But I decided veganuary was the perfect time to align with my values. I've been vegetarian and have wanted to be vegan for a while. Videos and channels like yours are SUPER helpful and I want to say thank you! Do you have any advice for people in hunting/farming/ranching/rural states like mine where vegans are practically the enemy? I'm very VERY lucky to live in a college town with more options and even a vegetarian restaurant, as well as to be close to a few larger cities but still feel isolated.

[@Jedidine]

Happy New Year!!! Love you guys!

[@lanii5267]

So helpful! Great Video!

[@rebecaorsi554]

Thank you for the info . I am planning my transition

I love you guys! Great video! You need to do a video on vegan beer? Stouts were my husband's favorite but can't drink those anymore.

[@darrow3065]

Thanks, great suggestions!

[@Maggie-ct4bt]

New subscriber!! Loved this video! Any tips on vegan food/nutrition for toddlers??

[@fatimaochoa9488]

My family owns a Mexican restaurant at the Oregon coast. We cook vegan vegetarian and meet food. We cook all our vegan and veggie item in a separate fryer and try to avoided cross contamination. If you ever have a chance please come check us out!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Excellent video and tips for going vegan. I struggled with not eating cheese and consuming dairy but now I eat vegan cheese which I eat in moderation due to the coconut oil. Being vegan also made me eat more fruit and vegetables which I wasn't eating enough of and consider the health benefits of veganism even though I am now doing it for the animals and the planet.

[@bikergirl1052]

I've been at this for about six years and I'm learning from this video. Thank you for sharing. It's kind of gross to think I've been walking around with bugs in my lipstick. 💄😡

[@ashleydickey]

This video😍😍

[@jillianboecker8491]

I went vegan in November, and this is really helpful, so thank you guys for making this video. I thought that Vitamin D3 could only be found in animal products. Is that not the case?

[@Chapmanlj]

I’m very interested inspired honestly

[@tanner6488]

Awesome !!! 🌱🌱🍈

Do You guys recommend Trying the impossible whopper from Burger King my dears??

I was asked by my doctor if I get enough protein :/

[@craiga4215]

Most doctors are ignorant and don't stay up to date on the most recent scientifc information

[@JonesLeFae]

My boyfriend and now my son are not vegan or even vegetarian. I raised my son vegetarian but now he is 14 and has started eating meat, mostly chicken and fish. I cook vegan at home, so if they want anything not vegan they have to buy it and prepare it themselves. My son and I have a lot of debates about it (all good) but I would never push it on anybody. I just lead by example and share lots of food. Interesting thing is that a friend of ours recently had a heart attack and is interested in vegan food. My boyfriend is also now showing more interest in it too because of that.

Silk worms are boiled alive in their silk cocoon. :(

[@bbrix6954]

Love you guys! But what the health and cowspiracy aren't the most accurate and valuable documentaries. Just saying

[@Crofflzron]

I'd have a question: Why are vegans opposed to using insects? They are about as complex and as intelligent/sentient as fungi. There is no reason to be opposed to eating them, quite the opposite: Quite some insects can be used perfectly for a clean, easy protein-source that uses even less water than plants, less space, don't really need light, can be grown septically and without fertilisers and fed with cuttings from, well, everything planty, depending on the exact insect. It's stupid to ignore such a nice source just because they can move, but eat fungi because they can't move. Plants react to external stimuli similarly (think about the Mimosa pudica, or the sunflower) but are not considered sentient. Why should insects be?

[@craiga4215]

Plants respond to stimuli. They don't have a central nervous system, they don't have a brain, the can't think or feel pain

[@redqueen7482]

This video was amazing except for what you said about protein... I sincerely hope that you will change your mind and stop recommending dr Neal Barnard!!! This sort of information can be harmful, especially for new vegans. Please think about it
