Reportedly in the UK 542,000 people adopted a vegan lifestyle, and the trend is continuously growing.  The primary motivation for individuals going vegan seems to revolve around animal welfare and other environmental concerns.  If you happen to be one of those that have decided to go vegan and are ready to adopt a plant-based diet, we have awesome tips and guidance to help you plan a completely plant-based diet!   ### **1. Go slow, adequate planning is key:** The ideal way to adopt a vegan lifestyle is to go slow and plan things carefully. It is better for you to gradually eliminate meat and other dairy products from your diet. It’s not advised to jump in cold turkey, you don't want to be left clueless searching for suitable plant-based alternatives.  The best approach would be to try vegan food for 2 or 3 days a week, or why not just get vegan lunch for a whole week? This approach will give you a pretty good idea of how challenging it could be and what to expect in the future.   ### **2. Plan your diet carefully:** To ensure you are getting the essential nutrients and vitamins from a vegan diet, it is critical to have a balanced diet that consists of many different types of healthy foods.  For example, if you include beans in your meal, you will get protein and fibre, with the addition of leafy green veggies you will have vitamin C, K, and A. So make sure you choose to incorporate a variety of macronutrients and vitamins.   ### **3. Search and find vegan recipes** Now, it’s time to practice your hidden cooking skills. You need to look around or search on the web to find some delicious and healthy vegan recipes, a good example would be our free [sesame vegan recipe pack](https://share.hsforms.com/1Q394X_AGRDqywb_HOFuJIQ4hdot).  So it’s time to plan your weekly dinners and try out your hidden chef abilities. Make sure that you are picking a combination of vegetables, pulses, and fruits. Think outside the box, consider this as an opportunity to try out new recipes and polish your cooking skills.    ### **4. Search for Vegan Substitute**  It is worth searching for different vegan substitutes, like soy and nut milk, tofu, vegan cheese and give it a try in your favourite dishes.    ### **5. Discover the new World of plant-based Proteins** Generally, animal-based protein sources like meat and cheese have high amounts of unsaturated fat. In addition, there are growing concerns about animal cruelty.  On the other hand, if we talk about plant-based protein sources such as tofu, lentils, veggies, and nuts, they hold little or no unsaturated fats.  In essence, by adopting a vegan lifestyle, you are going more than a few steps further to eliminate unhealthy saturated fats from your body.   ### **Conclusion** Going vegan truly is not the easiest of feats, especially if you grew up with Sunday night roast turkeys as the norm. However, with determination and consistency, you can pull through! You might experience the occasional awkwardness with family and friends, but if this is what you truly want then remember must find ways to stick with your decision.  Going Vegan will impact your lifestyle in more positive ways than one, but it does not require special discipline and sacrifice at the very beginning.
