A Beginner’s Guide to Vegan

*Please take into consideration that one diet does not fit all! These are general guidelines for those trying to follow the vegan diet. Always eat what makes you feel good!* 

The vegan diet is one with no animal products.  It is high in beans, legumes, fruits, vegetables. Veganism has gained popularity as many have turned to it for ethical or environmental reasons however these are not the only reason to eat vegan.  It also tends to be much higher in fresh fruits and vegetables (and therefore nutrition) than the standard American diet of fast food.
