Why Not Be Vegan In The Morning?

For me, becoming a vegan was an easy decision. Once I became educated about the many benefits of living a vegan lifestyle, I plunged head first into the ocean without looking back. I realize that this is not the case for everyone, and that the mere thought of completely changing your lifestyle can be daunting. Some people prefer to transition into veganism slowly and gradually by dipping their toes into the water, and this is fine. 

If you are flirting with the idea of becoming vegan, or simply want to live a more plant-based lifestyle without a full commitment, may I suggest becoming vegan for only part of each day to see how it works for you? After all, this method has been working wonders for New York Times food writer Mark Bittman, who has been following a vegan diet every day until 6pm (VB 6: Eat Vegan Before 6) for six years. By eating more plant-based, Mr. Bittman lost enough weight to improve his overall health, thereby avoiding the diabetes and cardiovascular issues towards which he claims he was heading. 

Why give veganism a test run only with your food? How about experimenting with your clothing, accessories, and style and beauty products too? Don’t underestimate how wonderful you might feel knowing that you are using cruelty-free products, even if you only make some small changes to your daily routine. 

To help you get started, I devised a morning routine with a few breakfast suggestions and recommendations for some of my favorite vegan products. How about giving it a try to see if you can become a “morning vegan?”
