      Go Plant-Based in 30 Days - Sarah Taylor

      Author

      Introduction

      There are many reasons you may want to try a plant-based diet. The purpose of this book is not to convince you to go plant-based; instead, it is to help you take the steps to do it successfully and healthfully. I am assuming that you picked up this book because you’ve already found a reason to switch to a plant-based diet; therefore, you won’t find a lot of arguments in the following pages for why you should eat this way. But you will find solid, well-researched advice on how to go about it in such a way that you will stick with it. As you read this book, keep these points in mind:

      •  My goal is for you to comfortably adopt a healthy plant-based diet by the end of 30 days. Therefore, you’ll notice that I put a strong emphasis on health throughout this book. Some of my suggestions are related to health in general, not just a plant-based diet.

      •  As a vegan, you obviously will not be eating animal products by the end of this program. If you have large amounts of animal-based foods in your kitchen or pantry right now, start using them up, donating them, or giving them away to friends or family. You can look through the contents page of this book to see on which days you will be eliminating certain nonvegan foods so you can plan accordingly.

      •  These 30 steps were carefully designed and tested over time. Although you may be tempted to skip a step or two, resist that urge. The step you skip just might be the most important one for your long-term success.

      •  You may need to purchase some books, new foods for your pantry, and a new cooking gadget or two. And, if you’re overweight, you’ll quite possibly need some new clothes. If money is scarce for you, be creative. Borrow books from the library and look for slightly used cooking tools. You’ll not only save money, but you’ll also help save the environment by recycling someone else’s used product.

      •  Take your time and be kind to yourself. Don’t demand perfection. Adopting a plant-based diet can be challenging, so if you need more than 30 days to do this program, that’s perfectly fine. Certain steps may take you longer than others, but work on a step every single day. It’s much better to be successful over the long term—even if it means taking longer than 30 days to complete the program—than to rush steps when you’re not ready and end up failing.

      •  When people switch from an unhealthy diet to a healthy one in a short period of time, it’s common to experience some temporary symptoms as the body rids itself of toxins. Detox symptoms generally last from a few days to a few weeks and might include the following symptoms:

      •  Headaches

      •  Fatigue

      •  Nausea

      •  Runny nose

      •  Light-headedness and dizziness

      •  Minor aches and pains

      •  Excessive sweating

      Because you are embarking on a 30-day step-by-step plan, rather than going cold turkey, you may not have many of these symptoms, if you experience any at all. If your body is sensitive to change, you may want to take at least two or three days for each of the 30 steps.

      If you experience any of the above symptoms, consider calling your physician if you feel more than a little discomfort. However, try to avoid medicating the symptoms if at all possible. It’s important for you to hear what your body is telling you, and you’ll only know that you’ve made it through detox if the symptoms go away naturally on their own, without medication. Realize that your body is ridding itself of toxins, and once it has, you will feel fantastic and have tons of energy.

      I am very glad you’re here and honored that you’ve invested in this book. Now, sit back and start reading. This may very well be your first day of a brand-new life.

      Day 1: Why Do You Want to Go Plant-Based?

      The first—and probably the most important—step of any goal is to know why you want to achieve it. As a general rule of thumb, the bigger the goal, the better the reason you’ll need to convince yourself to stick with it.

      I find it amazing that whenever I wanted to lose weight in the past, the reason was
