Hello from Hamburg, Germany

Post by Joe KO »

Hi.
I'm transitioning from vegetarian to vegan.
Trying to educate myself, in order to be able to defend my convictions better.
Hopefully I can someday contribute something worthwhile, too.

See you around
Joe

Welcome Joe!

Happy to know you're transitioning. I hope you like your stay here, and of course feel free to start a conversation on anything you feel unsure about.

For the transitioning, I recommend you check out our vegan healthy cheap recipes online at Index of Recipes for ideas.
It's a work in progress, soon we'll add nutrition values for every recipe.

Welcome Joe, awesome that you're transitioning to vegan, please don't hesitate to ask any questions as we're glad to help.

Like @thebestofenergy said we have a growing recipe index that may help, and in terms of philosophical questions the forum is a great place to discuss those.

Welcome Joe. How is your transition going?

Hamburg is a beautiful city with some pretty good vegan restaurants.
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

Thanks, guys.
Transition is OK. Just using up some leftover dairy.
Thanks for the encouragement and pointers to recipes. I used to subsist on sandwiches, fast-food and my Mom's cooking, so far. So, that'll be a challenge. But I'm doing Intermittent Fasting (IF, 20h/4h), so I can focus on one BIG vegan meal and don't have to worry about 3 meals a day. Stews are very convenient in that regard. Even for a novice like me.

Thanks again. See you around.
