Going Vegan...
137 Answers
...for a month to see if it makes a difference in how I feel mood and health wise.
I use almond milk anyway but I've bought loads of dairy free alternatives and I like most meat free burgers, sausages etc. Some supermarkets do packets of grains and pulses with different flavourings such as Mexican which I quite like but it's all making me feel quite bloated.
This is my 2nd day and I would really like to keep going but I'm having trouble with the bloatedness.
Any advice on where I'm going wrong and what I should be doing? Will it settle down eventually?

I will start introducing fish and seafood when I feel the need to but will try and steer clear of dairy. Tried some vegan cheese and its pretty gross so will do without the alternatives on most things although I like almond milk.
My cat Snoopy loved bread and cheese and would swipe bits of toast off my plate, lol. Still miss him after 20 years :o(
Tigger and Blue never ate anything other than Felix AGAIL and the expensive little tins and trays like Sheba. Would never dream of forcing a cat on a vegan diet though. They're carnivores.

Definition of cheese (from the OED): “A food made from the pressed curds of milk,”
Definition of milk (from the OED): “An opaque white fluid rich in fat and protein, secreted by female mammals for the nourishment of their young.”
Almonds don’t give milk; coconuts don’t give milk; soya doesn’t provide milk. Sorry to be a pain but this Vegan and Vegetarian terminology really gets my goat (the young of which are very nice grilled). I nearly came unstuck in a pub in Greenwich a couple of years back. On the lunch menu was “Vegetarian Fish & Chips”. No explanation was provided for this nonsense so I sought one. The “Fish” apparently was a slab of fried cheese. And I am allergic to cheese. Perlease...just call it what it is (though what you would call Vegan "cheese" is anybody’s guess).
