The various uses of veganism as a health aid are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not yet been proven in clinical trials. Heres the deal: maybe youre looking to incorporate more plant-based meals into your diet but dont want to lose that fried chicken Fridays tradition.

Thats where Kinda Vegan comes in: your no-nonsense guide to being vegan- ish . Restrictive dieting be gone; with Kinda Vegan you can go meatless on Monday, then enjoy a juicy steak dinner on Tuesdayno judgment. Where do vegans get their protein? What can you possibly eat that doesnt have milk in it? Wont it taste horrible? Dont vegans eat only spinach and weeds? Well, kids, heres some news for you: you can have your cake and eat it too. And your ice cream. And your cheesy flavor.

All you need are some conscious shopper skills and quick, go-to information. The first chapter of Kinda Vegan covers the basics of veganism, including the essential foods to have in your pantry. From grains and lentils to maple syrup and dairy-free milk alternatives, there are tons of delicious vegan ingredients to enjoy. No weeds here! Plus, you know that eating vegan saves our animal friends, but the other benefits of cutting down on those fatty meats and processed foods may surprise you. From weight loss and lowered blood sugar levels to a decreased risk of heart disease and certain cancers, you will be feeling fabulousno need to thank us (though you can if you want to). In Kinda Vegan youll also discover 200 recipes, organized by meal, that are so tasty you wont believe theyre vegan.

Its easy to make a vegan mealor day of mealswhenever you want. Plus, each recipe has a special icon to let you know whether the recipe is high in protein, is high in fiber, is especially quick to make, or can be adapted to substitute non-vegan ingredients. Hearty breakfast dishes like Crepes for When Youre Feeling Lazy and Whole-Wheat Brilliant Blueberry Muffins, international bites like Easy Falafel Patties and Chinese Fried Rice with Tofu and Cashews, and guilt-free desserts like Chocolate Mocha Ice Cream and Perfect Pumpkin Bread may just have you wanting to go vegan all week! Not the best at planning meals? Dont sweat it: weve also included an appendix of vegan meal plans. You can plan out a few days of meals in minutes, or you can flip to a meal plan whenever you are out of ideas or just dont have the energy to decide on what to eat that day. So whatever your reasons are for ditching meat, and whatever your schedule and taste buds desire, with Kinda Vegan , being veganish is a snap!

Veganism is the exclusion of all animal and animal-based products from your diet. This includes meat, eggs, dairy, and gelatin, and it can even extend to some types of sugar and honey.

Fear not, faithful readers. There is always a delicious vegan way around these things. Perhaps youre finding yourself in a small predicament: you wish to be (kinda) vegan, but you have nowhere to turn. Maybe you have questions like these: 1. How do you start? 2. What ingredients do you start looking for? 3.

And how the hell do you find them? No worries. You dont need to take a transcontinental ship in order to scout out the new ingredients that will make your transition to veganism both easy and fun. Thats what we are here for! Now granted, occasionally some vegans get a little weird. There are some recipes out there that include Irish moss, seaweed, algae, and even brains. Just kidding about the last part, but were still talking about some unorthodox choices.

Some people can stop eating meat and animal by-products cold turkey.
