Going plant-based or vegan is easy, right?
On the surface, it may seem simple to just quit eating meat and dairy. But when you begin the process, or start to delve deeper into the plant-based world, you can often find yourself confused, baffled or questioning your decision.
I’ll admit it: it’s not as straightforward as we first imagine. We have to think about nutritional, culinary, even cosmetic and fashion-based replacements — depending on how far we want to take it. The more we learn, the more we realize how much more there is to learn and how we have only touched the tip of the iceberg when we first decide to ditch meat.
The good news is that these are only problems if we’re making the journey alone.
I first established Real Men Eat Plants with one thought in mind: to encourage others to discover the huge benefits of adopting a plant-based diet. I very quickly realized that what was really needed was a resource that people could turn to to provide not only that encouragement but also the valuable information needed to make the transition from animal to plant easy, enjoyable and healthy.
