Things You'll Need:
- The will
-
Step 1
Cut out dairy (milk, butter, yogurt), meat, eggs, and even honey from the diet—anything that was produced by animal or insect.
-
Step 2
Check out all the products you currently consume. Your loaf of bread probably contains eggs, or even honey. Common items might not be vegan-friendly.
-
Step 3
Cut out other animal products, such as leather: shoes, belts, bags, and other animal-based products.
-
Step 4
Cut out some cosmetics and health products. Look for “Cruelty free” on the label or “Not tested on animals,” sometimes with the icon of a rabbit.
-
Step 5
Look into vegan-friendly foods. The king of these is soy—it can be a protein-rich alternative to meat, milk, cheese, even chocolate. The list of soy-based food is growing. Other types of beans are also a good protein source. Tofu and veggie burgers are soy-based. Also try rice milk, almond milk, nutritional yeast, and other grains.
-
Step 6
Get some vegan cookbooks. A lot of ethnic cooking is perfectly suited for vegan cooking—especially Asian, Indian, and Italian.
-
Step 7
Find some vegan-friendly restaurants.

on 5/26/2007 All of the vegans I know also want organic items. The internet is a great place to find products (food and toiletries, etc.) suitable for vegans, whether you are vegan yourself or buying for someone who is. Try putting in a search engine something like 'vegan organic toiletries' and you will get lots of results. Make sure the webshop you browse round can take your currency and ship to your country - there's nothing worse than putting loads of stuff in your cart and then finding out you can't have it.
