It is super important to have a good relationship with your body/mind when adapting to a Vegan lifestyle. The health benefits are enormous when consuming a balanced diet that is only plant-based. When reducing animal fats and protein from your diet, you must be informed and monitor your physical and psychological response. Avocados, quinoa, white yam, and legumes can substitute for proteins and fats, but eating high amounts of beans will change your estrogen or weaken your bones. Vegan is extreme. As with all extreme lifestyles, it is not ideal for everyone.
