Once considered a niche diet, veganism has gone mainstream — so much so
that the number of people following a vegan diet has increased by 350%
in the last decade, according to research from the U.K. (1Trusted
Source). By definition, veganism is a way of living in which people
exclude, as much as possible, all forms of animal exploitation and
cruelty. At first glance, a vegan diet may seem complicated or overly
restrictive. Many of my clients who are considering switching over to a
vegan diet are initially worried about finding suitable vegan
alternatives to their favorite meals. Yet, most find that once they get
a few basics down, the transition is less difficult than they initially
expected. As someone enjoying a plant-based diet myself, I’ve noticed
more and more vegan options appearing on supermarket shelves and
restaurant menus in the past couple of years. I’ve even recently come
across a vegan version of pastel de nata, one of my all-time favorite
desserts. In this article, I’ll outline what veganism is and share a few
basics about foods to eat and avoid on a vegan diet.
