We’ve been vegetarian for 2 years. We love it! Heading toward veganism. We’ve cut out dairy but still eat organic eggs and honey.

Cutting those out has been hard for me, for sure.

Focus on what you CAN eat. There's plenty.

*so much* it’s a whole new world

Congrats! How do you feel?!
-
I feel good. For real.

Wait a few more months - vege and vegan foods take on incredible flavor!
-
Mmmm. Vegan bacon. Can't easily get it in Japan, but love it when I visit back home.
-
how difficult is being vegan in japan? im vegan in the states and i plan on moving there this year but their foods are very fish laden and i imagine specialty substitutes are hard to find.

It can be tough. Many things to get used to: 1. Cooking (you're best bet) 2. Food terms & kanji, esp food labels (google translate can be a help, but imperfect) 3. Disappointment a. You'll make mistakes b. People won't really understand c. Accidentally vegan food vanishes quick
-
But it's also far from impossible: 1. There are vegans in Japan 2. Also restaurants 3. CostCo 4. Rakuten (JP's Amazon) can get you a lot of vegan things incl fake meats & cheeses 5. Gyoum Super (like a mini CostCo located in many cities and very cheap) 6. J-sweets are often vegan

And for a boost of mental strength, rent "Forks Over Knives" on Netflix. It's not gruesome or sensational. Just talks about the health risks with animal protein & the healing properties of a plant based diet.
-
What The Health is also worthy of a mention!
-
I just finished watching What the Health and I’m strongly considering making the transition. I just feel like I have to kill my taste buds because I’m such a picky eater.

With time your taste buds change and you’ll find you like things you would have never expected! Excellent decision!
