Choosing one day a week to be completely miserable sounds like a much worse path to veganism than cutting back one thing at a time.

- cageface 8y agoDifferent approaches work for different people. Personally I just went cold turkey but for a lot of people it's easier to set aside a day to try it. Whatever works for you is fine, of course. A lot of people find that, far from being miserable, they feel better and enjoy the food they're eating.
- Djvacto 8y agoAlso, you don't have to be miserable. There are tons of foods that a lot of people find delicious that aren't meat. You can use substitutes (tvp or lentil/walnuts for tacos, tofu in a stir fry, etc).
- seba_dos1 8y agoAs a vegetable hater that was a misconception that I used to have. Turned out that in most cases I even prefer vegan meat substitutes to real meat now for their taste and texture (they can be pretty similar, but the slight differences IMO work against meat).
- cannonedhamster 8y agoYou could start by going vegetarian instead by choosing to eat a cheese pizza instead of a hamburger. There's a wide world between carnivore and Jainist vegan. There's also a ton of much better vegan/vegetarian meat replacements available than just a few years ago.
