How to Become a Vegan — http://www.noahhammond.com This is in response to a reader who is asking me in response to my “How to Become a Vegetarian” video. How do I become a vegan?
I’m going to share my process of how I transitioned about three months into vegetarianism to full veganism, what that looked like, and some simple ways that you can go vegan with ease.
Becoming a Vegan Easily — Implementing Simple Tips!
What happened was this.
When I first became a vegetarian, I made a declaration that every time I went to the grocery store, I would buy an item I have never bought before. I would go home and Google it.
“What the heck do I do with a butternut squash?”
“Oh, OK. It’s going to be good with this thing.”
Then, I would go and buy the other ingredients that I need and make some kind of new amazing dish that I have never made before.
If you commit to only buying one item you have never bought before every time you go to the grocery store, very quickly you are now going to have a WHOLE list of new meals you like to make, new foods you’ve tried, and new foods you know how to prepare.
You are going to get SO expanded inside your awareness of what is really out there in the food world. That was the process that really started everything.
The other mindset that helped was that I made a full commitment that I was going to listen to my body really closely. I was going to literally pay such direct attention to my body that I would listen for if it liked something or it did not like something, and if it loved something or if it hated something.
I committed to only buying things that my body liked and loved and never again buying things that my body did not liked or loved.
What was I listening for? What was I paying attention for?
Things like high energy, positive emotions, and feelings of satisfaction, nourishment, and deliciousness. Those are the things that you look for in a food that SERVES you.
Food that does not serve you is going to make you feel tired, sleepy, groggy, or maybe angry. There is a lot of negative energy inside of things like steak.
How does the food actually make you feel? That was the things that I was paying attention to.
How I Turned Vegan And How I Did It!
As I kept buying these new items, trying new foods, ditching the ones that did not serve me, and keeping the ones that served me, I started finding more and more veggies and more and more things that really served me, more and more nuts, seeds, super foods, and lots of different plant-based foods that served me.
I kept noticing more and more how much my dairy and gluten — because I also went gluten-free at the same time, which means getting rid of wheat — I started noticing how that stuff was not serving me.
It came down to my body that simply straight up revolted. When I first went vegetarian, I was still under my programmed mind of:
“Oh, I need to get my protein.”
So I was eating TONS of Greek yogurts and getting lots of protein. My dairy intake went way up and so did my grain intake because I was seeing that:
“Oh, whole wheat wraps have protein. This has protein, etc. etc.”
It came to the point where I was eating a bowl of granola and Greek yogurt and I would take a bite and sneeze fifteen times. I would take a bite and sneeze fifteen times.
“Oh, light bulb! Maybe I am allergic to dairy out of nowhere for the first time in my life?”
Sure enough that was exactly what happened. As I cleaned out my body, my lactose allergy, whatever it was that I had never noticed my entire life, became very apparent.
Then, I started doing some research. I found out that milk is actually TERRIBLE for you. It’s not good for you. It’s not normal to drink milk. In fact, seventy percent of the world does not drink dairy and thirty percent of the world does.
So, WE are actually the strange ones.
Then, I also started at the same time finding out how bad gluten and wheat is for you. How your body treats it like an invading organism and how it causes micro-tears in your gut…
It’s the reason that all these people are walking around like all fluffy and mutated. People look like mutated fat. It’s not how it used to look. It’s because of our wheat and what the wheat that we have created is doing to our bodies.
Basically, by listening to my body process and finding out some more information, I removed dairy and gluten from my diet.
The last thing was the eggs. And eggs, I hang on to for a solid couple of months beyond everything else. I was done with dairy, but eggs I held on to…

To be trustee requires skill and ability to be effective, trustees are ultimately responsible for the charity, fot the research an many other important tasks of the Vegan Society.
“…we work on the improuving the provison of vegan food for instance in care homes or hospitals, we try to encourage to provide vegan food in the schools…we made a website called wegatopia one of the things we are trying to do is create links trough the countries, create links between academia and activism. We are both sociologists in academia, utopian studies in Bristol University. We’ve written a few papers discussing the idea about why veganism is a utopia movement. We are talking about transforming the society in a radical way. Veganism is a practical solution for a lot of issues in the world. The biggest obstacle is people saying we are not realistic, the implication of that would seem to be just do nothing, give up. That’s not an option for us. The debates of climate change, of food security, ongoing malnutrition despite that enough food is produced to feed anybody in the world but it’s not getting to the right people…
There are many many opportunity where veganism is a real sensible, practical solution, we need a political will to make it happen, we need also academic like us doing research, making contribution to the vegan movement, giving some good evidence for what we are arguing”.
This is a Massimo Leopardi interview for Veggie Channel web-tv:
Coconut Cream Filled Strawberries are the good twin to the devilish chocolate filled strawberries that I made yesterday. They are light, fluffy, healthy-ish, and remain divine.
Spoon the cream from the can of coconut milk into a large mixing bowl, leaving the liquid behind.
Beat coconut cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until whipped and fluffy with an electric hand mixer.
Fit a piping bag with the decorative tip of your chose (or just cut a hole in the corner of a zip lock bag). Fill about half way with your whipped cream.
Place the tip of the piping bag into the hulled strawberry and slowly fill. Be sure to finish with a swirl on top.
Most of all, enjoy your wonderful creation.

Hi I am following Dr Doug Graham’s 80 10 10 diet. Its day 3 of my Detox.
I’m not feeling well at all – currently clearing all the built up toxins in my body from my previous unhealthy lifestyle. I am realising only now just how unhealthily the ‘old me’ was.
Becoming Raw Vegan and just eating fruits will help me – I just know it – although I’m finding this transition period really testing….back to the toilet
Day 1. I was super excited to be on this diet. 100% cold turkey low fat raw vegan!!
Day 2. I felt great up until 2 in the afternoon. That’s when I start to feel a little out of it, nauseous and I was feeling a little bit anxious. I buckled and ate some crackers and became so disappointed in myself. Crackers didn’t help – nausea still present.
Day 3. Couldn’t really get out of bed. Dr Doug Graham says to breathe through the bouts of nausea. Staying hydrated.
I did some reading and I think I’m seriously detoxing. I was coming from a pretty bad diet of meat, dairy and prescription medicines. Should I have eased in to this??? At least I haven’t gone back to the crackers. When will this detox end? Not sure how to keep going.
