The key is basically learning to trust yourself and your intuition when it comes to deciding what’s best for your body.

Coconut bacon strips or eggplant bacon bits, tofu mayo and veggie hot dog made with seasoned-textured soy proteins are other tasty vegan alternatives. These options are perfect for those looking to make the transition to a plantbased diet.
Can you get enough protein on a plant-based diet?
Yes, you will get enough protein if you eat a plant-based diet. The amino acids you need to build muscle, stay healthy, and maintain your health can be found in nuts, legumes and seeds as well as grains. Tofu and other soy products contain all the essential amino acids that your body can't make but must obtain from food. If combined with legumes, vegetables such as spinach, kale and other grains, these veggies can provide the necessary protein for proper nutrition. Plant-based proteins tend to have lower levels in saturated fats than animal protein and can be used to support long-term satiety. Flaxseeds and chia seeds, walnuts and hemp seeds all contain omega-3 fatty acid, which can be used to balance the other nutrients in a plant-based diet.

Although it may seem daunting to change to a plant based diet, it doesn't have be. It's possible to slowly transition to a vegan diet, and to adjust your lifestyle to make it more manageable. Since each person's needs are unique, tailoring the transition to one's specific lifestyle is important. One way to make the process easier is to structure meals around whole foods rather than processed items to ensure adequate intake of macronutrients as well as essential vitamins and minerals. Individuals should focus on creating delicious meals that are enjoyable to eat and meet their dietary requirements.

Additionally, quality vegan products can be more expensive and take longer to get from online stores or grocery stores. If you consider the cooking time of vegan products, some may need more effort and take longer to prepare.
