How To

How to navigate social situations while on a plant-based diet?

Moving to a plant-based diet requires you to navigate social situations such as dining out with friends. Before you go out to eat, make sure you are aware of the options. Check the menu options before you go. Some restaurants are more accommodating to vegetarians than others. Vegetarians can choose from Indian or Japanese cuisines.

Begin a conversation with your family and friends about your favorite food items. This will reduce the chances of making mistakes when ordering. When creating vegan dishes, trust the chef's judgement. Chat with them if necessary to ensure they are fully understanding your needs.

Make sure you are stocked up on healthy snacks and beverages that don't contain animal products before attending events. Even the smallest gestures in regards to veganism will be appreciated by your non-vegan friends.

Even though it can seem daunting at first, it's possible to make friends and maintain a vegan lifestyle. It will become second nature over time. Start small and believe in yourself.
