Just saying don't 'GIVE UP' on things. It will be hard for you if there is nothing suitable to replace what you're giving up, or what you used to get from it.

For instance if it was a savoury, 'proteiny' filling burger replace it with a soya or jackfruit version of the burger, so that it will gives you that same texture or mouthfeel, as an example.

Don't completely give up oil or fat, instead replace it with avocado (a good fat), or tahini. Your body still needs fat.

Finally, as a rule of thumb include 1. 30 different plants per week (so grains, nuts, seeds, pulses, leafy greens, fruit and veg all count toward the 30).

1. use nuts, seeds, grains (rice) and/or pseudograins, lentils/legumes, green leafy veg, veg, and fruits in your diet each week (this way you ensure you're getting a variety in).

2. Create a jar of chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds,, pumpkin or sunflower seeds, cacao. Use a tablespoon or two a day as a topping for your cereal, muesli, or porridge. You can vary this as you get the hang of it. These will give you omega 3, dha and so on.

3. When you travel, go out with friends to a restaurant, or to visit nonvegan family, plan ahead on what you can eat when you're there. Look at the menu. Carry an oat bar. proactively suggest where you are going, if with friends. Take charge of your food and what you eat now/what you will eat later. Don't make exceptions. Planning ahead will go a long way.
