How to Go Vegan for a Week

Are you ready to go vegan for the week? Set yourself up for success by following these tips:

Organize Your Kitchen

If you have any non-vegan items, put them somewhere that’s out of sight and out of mind. This way, you won’t be tempted to eat them during the week. For example, place non-perishable items like canned goods and snack foods on the bottom shelf of your pantry. Also select a designated drawer for non-vegan items in your fridge and freezer. If you think you’re going to kick meat and dairy for good after the seven days, you can also throw away or donate any non-vegan food items.

Plan Your Meals

As the saying goes: failing to plan is planning to fail, and that couldn’t be more true for new vegans. Without planning, you’ll most likely end up ordering all your meals from vegan restaurants, which will get expensive fast. Or, you’ll end up eating something that isn’t vegan simply because you’re hungry.

Set some time aside to pick out a few recipes you’d like to make. They don’t have to be elaborate recipes—keeping it simple is always a good idea. If the thought of meal planning is overwhelming, you can find lots of free seven-day vegan meal plans online. And if you know you’ll want to eat out or order in, plan that into your meal plan calendar, too.

Make a Shopping List

Now that you have your recipes picked out, make your shopping list for the week. Remember, your shopping list shouldn’t contain any meat, dairy, or animal products. You’ll also want to make sure to closely read the labels. You’ll be surprised by how many food items contain animal products. Also, don’t forget to stock up on snacks, like fruits, vegetables, and hummus.

Get Cooking

After you shop, it’s time to get in the kitchen and start cooking! Cooking your meals ahead of time is the ultimate time-saver and ensures you have vegan meals at your fingertips throughout the week. However, if you don’t want to do a full-on meal prep, consider cooking your grains or chopping your vegetables for your recipes ahead of time. That way, when it’s time to cook, lunch or dinner will be on the table fast!

Have Fun

During these seven days, the most important thing is for you to see how delicious this lifestyle can be. You’ll want to explore all the tasty things you can enjoy on a vegan diet without feeling deprived. Don’t worry about being perfect or making a recipe exactly as written. Have fun and enjoy the experience!

What Happens to Your Body When You Go Vegan for a Week?

Eating vegan food for seven days may seem like a small start, but it can still lead to positive results. You’ll be able to see and feel the difference in your body! These are some of the benefits you’ll experience when you go vegan for a week:

Better Digestion

Eating a vegan diet is like giving your digestive system a tune-up. Fruits and vegetables contain a lot of dietary fiber. Fiber helps keep things moving and, as a result, keeps you regular. If you aren’t used to eating foods that are high in fiber, make sure you take things slow and thoroughly chew your food.

Healthier Looking Skin

If you’re looking for a glow-up, eliminating animal products from your diet for a week should do the trick. Dairy products are known for causing breakouts due to growth hormones. Fruits and vegetables, on the other hand, are rich in vitamins like vitamin A, C, and E, as well as antioxidants, which are good for your skin.

More Energy

Another positive change people notice when they transition to a vegan diet, especially a diet rich in whole foods and low in processed foods, is how much more energy they have. Meat, especially red meat, is hard for the body to digest and requires a lot of energy. On the flip side, plant-based foods are not only easier to digest but many have energy-boosting properties. If you’re feeling overly tired or sluggish, make sure you’re eating enough calories.

Better Sleep

If you’re having trouble sleeping, a vegan diet may help you catch some extra z’s. While you’ll have more energy during the day, certain plant-based foods have been shown to help people get a more restful night’s sleep.

Less Inflammation

Do you suffer from joint pain? Behold the power of plants! Compared to diets that are high in fat and contain animal products that promote inflammation, a plant-based or vegan diet can reduce inflammation in the body.
