Mikey Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hey Everyone, I'm a 23 year old Canadian named Mike. I'm currently a vegetarian, but I've been wanting to become completely vegan. I just need to make sure I can do it and maintain proper nutrient intake and everything . I also am restarting working out and weight training, since I had stopped for about 9 months , mostly because I moved into a place where my weights and bench didn't fit (I know its not a good excuse though). I got to this site from a link from another great site that I've used for help with working out. And I'm hoping I can learn how to go completely vegan and be able to maintain a healthy body. Right now I'm 6'3 and 190 lbs, but not in good shape. I'm hoping to regain and surpass where I was before I stopped working out. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinaKina Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hi Mike, Welcome! I think you'll find that as long as you educate yourself and have a support system where you can learn and ask questions (ie this website), you won't find the switch to veganism difficult at all!

tuc Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Welcome Mikey! I'd suggest you start doing the transition one product at a time. Every time you want to get rid of something non-vegan and can't think of anything you can replace it with, ask us and in no time, you'll be left with only vegan products! Also, wicked avatar!½ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
