Starting out Vegan

I have been vegan for nearly 5 years now, but I remember being overwhelmed when I first started.
Trying to figure what I should and shouldn't be eating, what new foods were out there for me to try and how to use them.
It seems we hear a lot more about people trying vegan. Some of this may be because of celebrity exposure. There are a few who have been vegan for some time. Woody Harrelson, Alicia Silverstone, Ellen Degeneres and Natalie Portman, just to name a few.

I think the attention given to the subject because of the interest in some of these celebrities, has ended up being good for all. There's a lot more info out there and a few of the stars have even come out with their own books etc.
Most notably Alicia Silverstone.

I think if you're just starting out and want a quick easy read, Alicia's book is great. It's her take on what has worked for her and she has a good section to show you vegan alternatives to products you use now.

If you go on the web for Ellen's show you can find some fun vegan recipes to add to your repertoire .

If you are looking for an easy to read book on having a happy life including being vegan, you might want to check out Kathy Frestons book Quantum Wellness. It might inspire you to make some changes, that you've been considering.

If you want a truly inspiratinal book, check out Mina Dobic "My beautiful Life". Mina has survived cancer eating a macro biotic diet. Interesting reading.

Of course stay tuned for more information here too.

I'll be sharing my favorite tips, products and recipes.
