"If you start the day with a plant-based meal, it will make it much easier for you to follow the diet throughout the day. W.K.Kellogg cereals are delicious and super easy to have quickly before you dash out in the morning. Think of it as the first hurdle. Once you get over that, the rest comes easily."
2. Plant-based doesn’t mean boring
"Sometimes people assume plant-based foods are boring, but there is so much more choice out there now! There’s a constant stream of new, exciting plant-based products being created - it’s just a case of looking a little closer and seeing what’s out there on offer in supermarkets.
"Do your research, invest in some good vegan cook books - I have one called Feed Me Vegan that I wrote specifically to make it easier for people that are trying to make a change."
3.Get on social media to feel inspired
"There are so many online articles and social posts to inspire you. I recently made and shared a granola pizza on my Instagram and people loved it. So many amazing Instagrammers follow a plant-based diet. They are constantly posting recipes to inspire their followers and help them with simple ways to get involved."
4. Embed yourself in the culture
"More and more plant-based restaurants and cafes are opening around the UK. Instead of going to your usual haunt and hoping they’ll be able to cater for you, look up a vegan or vegetarian restaurant in your area and give them a go.
"To make it easier - you can download an app called “Happy Cow” which tells you all the restaurants with vegan options nearby."
5. Enjoy it!
"After all, eating more plant-based foods is a positive thing, so enjoy the associated health benefits. You’ll learn a lot about just how much you can eat as vegan, as you introduce more meals into your diet. The first two weeks are always the hardest but before you know it, everything will become like second nature."
6. Don't hold back on the garlic.
"Garlic is my go-to ingredient; I love to mix it with anything I make. It just adds so much more flavour and is so delicious.
"Tofu was definitely my first vegan love – it’s really filling and a great source of protein, so I’m always marinating it and adding it to my dishes."
7. Remember that veganism can still be tasty!
"I think people have a conception that being vegan means missing all the tasty stuff – but this is absolutely not the case! Brands are catering for non-meat eaters more and more, adapting well-known products so they are suitable for vegans.
"I used to love snacking on cereals and when I first switched to a plant-based diet, I found it hard to find alternatives.
