Vegan starter kit

[CedricVE]

Hello everyone I have recently started being vegan.
After the well-known difficulties, I started reading the book "The Vegan Starter Kit Everything You Need to Know About Plant-Based Eating".

This book is full of useful tips that you can use.
It also contains useful recipes.
I would definitely recommend this book to beginners and people who already have some experience.

I have already attached the pdf version for you.

I hope this will help someone just as it has helped me!

I don't like to click on links without knowing what they actually are. Is this the Dr Barnard book?

Hi Emma, understandable but yes it is

I feel the same way about links, glad Emma mentioned Dr Barnards book--

The PCRM site is full of good nutritional information--as is this forum!

Dr. Barnard has a reputation among vegan RDs and medical professionals as being extreme about fat. You might want to add an omega3 supplement to his recommendations, and eat vegan food with fat ( non-junk ).

Really? I've never encountered that. I'm not that knowledgable about Dr. Bernard as compared to some of the others. his info is more often in video form and I prefer reading. but I've always thought his recommendations were in step with the others.

Those are good suggestions but I'm pretty sure that is what he says in his books and videos.

Years ago I did do the PCRMs 21 -day vegan kickstart. I thought it was a good plan.

... and he is gorgeous and sweet

I agree, @Lou, his thoughts on oils / fats are in line with many others and it works to reduce inflammation and disease. Especially diabetes (Type II).

Hmm.
If there is "a reputation ... as being extreme about fat." it may be a result of the whole fat causes diabetes thing.

However, a lot of the vegan doctors are on that boat, too.

Well, most of the plant based physicians advocate no oils, as they are extracted from the whole plant, and advise fats from whole foods.
It's always a good idea to use oil sparingly

It's good to have some tips and tricks in ones sleeve when first starting their journey. For sure.
But personally, I'm mostly too occupied with everything and can't follow what someone else is doing. Even if that would be the healthiest diet ever.
I just settle in being vegan and that's it.

That isn't the same. Dr. Barnard advocates an extremely low fat ( from any source ) diet.
