For your health, for the environment, or for the animals, there are plenty of good reasons to start eating a plant-based diet<\/a>.<\/p>\n The question, of course, is how to get there… and how to make it last.<\/p>\n Some can go plant-based<\/a> with the “cold turkey” method, so to speak. But in my experience and what I’ve seen with others, that’s not the best way to make a lasting change.<\/p>\n Instead, take small steps. For me, that meant eliminating four-legged animals from my diet for several months, then two-legged animals, and finally fish, before transitioning to vegan over the next two years.<\/p>\n The small steps help prevent overwhelm and getting in over your head. Plus it allows you time to find the answers to the countless questions you likely have about going vegan.<\/p>\n But still, there should be a method to your small steps. One that has a clear path for progress so you never get stuck, confused, or unmotivated.<\/p>\n That’s why we created 80\/20 Plants<\/a>, our smart approach to going plant-based and losing weight in a way that works for your specific lifestyle.<\/p>\n But if you’re not there yet, the links below represent several of our most popular articles on how to go vegan.
