7 Quick Tips for a New Vegan
1. Take your time. Despite the hype, going vegan is not an easy task for most people. To the majority, it is a major life changing decision. And with any major decision, it requires patience, research, and a well thought-out plan. Often people try to go cold turkey and before they know it, they are back on the meat train. Give yourself some wiggle room. Instead of completely cutting out all meat and dairy, try to incorporate meatless meals a few days a week.

Veganism Sucks
Let me just start off by saying, veganism is on the rise, you know it, I know it, the vegan population has grown by over 600% in the US in the last five years. With that comes a lot of truth, and a lot of lies about what it means to be vegan and the effect it has on you and the world around you. I just wanted to clear the air a little bit and address some of the reasons why it is NOT a good idea to go vegan from experience.

Best Vegan Spots in London
Vegan mania is fast setting in. Veganuary reportedly saw the number of participants reach over 150,000, many deciding to stay Vegan even after January came to an end, whether you are a full time, lifelong Vegan, a part time Vegan, a health conscious Vegan, or a Vegan against animal cruelty, or maybe you just want to see what all the fuss is about. I fell in love with Veganism around 6 months ago after going back and forth being a vegetarian/pescatarian my entire life. I had always wanted to go Vegan and never fully given myself the push, until I watched What The Health. It was all I needed to nudge me to being a full time committed Vegan, so in love with my new lifestyle (not in a preachy 'EVERYONE SHOULD BE VEGAN’ type way) that I wanted to share some of my favourite spots in London. For visiting Vegans, for those that want to try something new, or for London Vegans that maybe need somewhere new to frequent, here are my favourites.

5 Tips for New Vegans. Top Story - February 2018.
1. It's a gradual process. Although some people may do best by quitting animal products cold turkey, it can make the process a lot easier if you slowly incorporate vegan meals into your diet. You can start by eliminating red meats, then poultry and fish, and finally eggs and dairy. You can also just try out being vegetarian and then work your way up.

The Best Budget-Friendly Vegan Foods. Top Story - February 2018.
Brown and White Rice Like many grains, rice is a cheap staple food, valued within many different cultures. It can be paired with beans for a complete protein, cooked into porridge, used to make homemade sushi, etc. It has a long shelf life, so you can stock up and not worry about buying it every week. If you are like me and aren't the best at cooking rice yourself, a rice cooker is also a great investment to simplify your rice-based meals.

Top 10 Sources of Plant-Based Protein
Vegans, or those on a plant-based diet, are often asked the source of their protein. In developed countries protein deficiency is incredibly rare, the amount of protein people think they need is often way above what the world health organisation recommends. So, how much protein do we actually need and where can we get it from?

No-bake Chocolate Cheesecake
No-bake dairy-free chocolate cheesecake! When I was in middle school I found out I couldn't eat any dairy. I was allergic and it made me sick. It was hard being the only one in the house not able to eat dairy. My family helped make adjustments, but it was hard going completely dairy free. There weren’t that many products out there that were dairy free. It started becoming more and more popular. Throughout high school and early college, I still continued to eat dairy but I would just take pills to help. It was never enough, but now that I live on my own I am able to go completely dairy-free! I have found many dairy-free substitutes and now I live my life worry-free. I love being able to give up dairy and know I don’t have to worry because there are so many options out there. I am able to eat everything I love and it all tastes the same still! Even if you aren’t dairy-free because of health issues, this recipe is great for vegans and vegetarians. Dairy-free options are also healthier and aren’t as heavy as dairy products.
