CycloneT: I have gone from veg with fish to Ovo-lacto and am considering veganism. Should I move gradually or immediately to veganism?

MessyVeggie: I phased into veganism from vegetarianism. For me the easiest way was to give myself some space. You know how when people diet and they tell themselves “I can never have chocolate again,” but then spend the whole time craving chocolate? I spent about 6 months eating vegan only during the week and allowing myself dairy on weekends. Then I decided I’d give the no dairy a go, with a clause that it wasn’t set it stone. After that I consumed dairy perhaps two or three times willingly and then honestly stopped fancying it altogether. Best of luck!

bpstrangler: Welcome. You should move to veganism immediately, there are lives at stake.
