If you don’t want animals to play any role at all in your diet, here’s how to go vegan
You Will Need
- Willpower
- Vegan equivalents to meats and dairy products
- A variety of dietary supplements
- An understanding of an animal-free diet
Never change your diet without first consulting your physician.
Step 1: Cut out meats, poultry and seafood
Cut meats, poultry, and seafood out of your diet entirely.
Step 2: Find vegan equivalents to meat
Find vegan equivalents to these meats – like a soy-based hot dog substitute.
Step 3: Eliminate dairy products
Eliminate all dairy products and animal byproducts, like cheese, eggs, and chicken broth.
Step 4: Replace dairy products with vegan-friendly product
Get equivalents to these products, too, focusing on soy and tofu as substitutions.
Step 5: Check food labels
Check labels of everything you eat to check for vegan-friendliness. Many foods you might not associate with meat, like gelatin snacks, contain animal matter.
Step 6: Be wary in restaurants
Be careful when ordering in restaurants. Even dishes that are meatless can include sauces, reductions, glazes, or stocks that are prepared with animal byproducts, like margarine, which contains whey.
Step 7: Take a dietary supplement
Take a dietary supplement, like a multi-vitamin, to make sure you’re getting sufficient calcium and vitamins.
Step 8: Get omega-3s
Eat plenty of nuts and seeds, like walnuts and flaxseeds, to get omega-3, an essential fatty acid, which you won’t be getting from fish.
Step 9: Keep your protein level high
Be sure to eat beans and other products that contain sufficient proteins to sustain your muscles.
Step 10: Always get enough calcium with milk substitutes
When drinking milk substitutes, be sure to get some enriched with calcium to aid bone density.
Between 0.2 and 1.3 percent of Americans are vegan.

Kinda biased - willpower isn't the #1 need, knowledge is. It's not all about finding substitutes, it's about finding tasty vegan options that you like. They won't all be analogies. Protein isn't that hard to get in a well-balanced diet.

Nice, but while calcium may be an issue, vitamins are the least concern for a well-eating vegan.
