After watching documentaries such as The Game Changers and What the Health on Netflix, I've decided to give going vegan a go.

I have tried once before, but I only last a week. I just found the food bland, uninteresting and difficult!

No meat is challenging enough. Adding in no cheese and no eggs just makes it near impossible! However, I am keen to really try. I'm running the Paris marathon in April and maybe this will help me improve my performance if the documentaries are to be believed along with anecdotes from friends.

So can anybody on here offer me any advice? What are your go to quick and tasty vegan meals as I don't have a lot of time to prepare.

Where can I find good vegan recipes? As at the moment I find the food uninspiring.

What can I have for snacks so I don't fall off the vegan wagon?

All help and advice is appreciated.

Don't bother. If you were committed, you would do it before Christmas, not after the you've bloated your belly on every non vegan delight you can find during the usual food fest!

Well you're telling a bunch of strangers who aren't in the slightest bit interested, so I suggest you're pretty much there already.

I thought Vegans told everyone they were vegans as soon as they become one, not in advance

Nothing bland about fruit, veg, spices and herbs. Add some carbs and you've got a meal.

I'm a fan of Violife "cheese" and Greggs' vegan sausage rolls.

I recommend people watch the shows you've mentioned, there's many more too which have definitely changed the way I eat. Unfortunately most people aren't willing to change, judging by the latest election most people aren't intelligent enough to make decisions for themselves either.

You don't have to go completely vegan straight away, you can fall off the wagon. You can start off one, two or even three days a week and see how you feel about it.

Here are some accidentally vegan products, some of which you are quite likely to know already.

funny thing is this doesnt quite say what you think, it highlights the preachy message. the fast food ads have a picture, a slogan, thats it. the vegan is wordy and telling you what to do.

as to the OP, seems to me the sensible approach is to decide to cut out meat and maybe meat products when convienent. making your self a slave to the alter of veganism is daft, having to constantly check if food is suitable, buying more expensive food to meat a self imposed dietry regime.
