What was your beginning vegan experience?

[Phil]

I didn't have any of the symptoms other people talk about, but I don't do all that well with legumes all the time (very sage wisdom to limit it to a cup or day), and in the first few weeks of being vegan I ate legumes every single day, which although was nothing new I ate more of them than before I went vegan. So I'd make the argument that your body won't go into shock by not eating something, but it might go into shock if you introduce new foods that you're not used to. For me I just went vegan then and there on the spot, and just ate whole foods that was all home-made, even made my own almond milk. Then I started looking around at vegan recipes, vegan products in the supermarkets and started eating a wider variety of foods that weren't all vegetables, fruits and tofu scrambles.
