Vegan

I want to become a vegan for a month just to see if I can do it.
I think I can be dedicated enough because im not much a meat eater anyway
but a bunch of people told me I could get really sick if I do it and then go back to eating dairy and meat......

what should I do?

I've heard that too but I don't believe it. I went vegan for 6 months then went back to being a lacto-ovo vegetarian without problem. Seeing how much better I felt avoiding dairy made me continue to avoid it but when I occasional eat it it doesn't make me sick or anything.

The only problem is you don't get a lot of protien or all the vitamins you usually need. So if you are going vegan make sure you add protien rich foods to your diet and take a multivitamin!

I think instead of going straight to being vegan maybe work week by week. First try removing meat, then the next week no fish, then the next week maybe cheese, followed by milk and eggs.

Take it one step at a time and ease into it and you will probably be more successful in the long run.

Protein is not a problem on vegan diets. Unless you try to live on a diet of nothing but apples and bananas nearly any diet that supplies sufficient calories also has plenty of protein. All plant foods have some protein and legumes (beans, peas, lentils) are especially good sources. The only vitamins that can be difficult to obtain on a vegan diet are B12 and D. Our bodies store enough B12 for years so assuming you are not deficient now you will be fine even with no B12 for a month. Many packaged vegan foods (soy milk, veggie burgers, etc) are supplemented with vitamin B12. D is produced by sunlight on our skin and in our diet it can come from seafood. If you don't spend much time outdoors and don't eat seafood you could have a problem here. A lot of meat eaters are deficient in D as well.

If you are interested in vegan nutrition google Dr. John McDougall. He has a lot of good info though the diet he advocates is in the rather extreme low-fat category so I found it hard to stay on.

Ok I was just suggesting to watch protein because when I told my doctor I was vegan he wanted to make sure I was getting enough protein and specifically told me to make sure I was eating enough protein because vegans and vegetarians can usually not get enough of this.

Wtf you won't get sick at all. There's just no possible way. You might feel a lot better from all the veggies if anything. There are a couple nutrients that are difficult to get elsewhere, but they're all stored over the long term so a month won't do anything to you. You don't need very much protein - if anything all that meat is giving people too much - but grains (bread, cereal, etc.) + beans or grains + nuts will do the trick. A couple examples are rice beans or PB J.

The biggest problem people have is trying to find dishes that don't have meat in them. So plan ahead. And IMO soy and tofu are blech, so find other options. In the long run, as in years, you have other nutrition issues to worry about, but for just a month it's not really a problem.
