Try starting here.
you can eat ANY fruit/vegetable . raw nuts are great protein beans and rice you can live off the above . and that meat ? give it to someone otherwise leave it out some animal might come take it off your porch . you can make any recipe pretty much by substituting meat/dairy/egg with egg replacers tofu soymilk n whatnot . try peta.org and they have great vegan info for getting started and a starter pack
Nuts, legumes, leafy greens are all very healthy. But eggs are very nutritious… you may miss out on some important protein that can be found in eggs. You can probably give the meat to your friends or neighbors. You can get a book called “Vegan Planet.” It is a good cookbook.
Welcome to a new, healthier and much better world! And the price you will pay to become a legal residential of this world is not really that much.
Just take your time how to read labels and what to look for. If you’re already very familiar with reading ingredient labels, you’re already 80% ahead of the game.
While you figure things out, start to take supplements (at least B12, Iron), if you’re not already doing so. And read the list below to give you some idea about your new lifestyle diet:
