This is the final part of our two-part series on making the switch to a plant-based diet. A comprehensive guide to the basics of adopting a vegan, plant-based lifestyle. In the first episode, which you should definitely listen to before this one, was all about the WHY of plant-based living. The theoretical framework for the three main pillars of veganism: health, ethics, and environment. This episode is all about the HOW. The practical side. What books you should read, documentaries you should watch, gear you should have and foods you should eat. We did our best to cover a broad range of essential topics without going too deep since there simply wasn’t enough time. The goal of this series is to give you the knowledge and tools you need to launch into a successful and sustainable plant-based lifestyle! Definitely look through the show notes below to dig into the resources we discussed, and let us know if we missed anything of note! Share this far and wide with your plant-interested or omnivorous friends and family. We want this to break out of the echochamber to help people brand new to plant-based eating! Thanks for listening.
