Transition & Family
Reintroducing foods, if you decide to
People change their diets in both directions and reintroduction is discussed far less than transition, which leaves people without practical information.
Transition & Family
Kids, pregnancy, budgets and eating with other people.
Transition & Family
Sustaining it for decades
A large proportion of people who adopt plant-based diets return to eating animal products, and the reasons are consistent and mostly addressable.
Transition & Family
Eating plant-based where the shops are limited
Most plant-based advice assumes a well-stocked supermarket and a specialist aisle. A great many people have neither.
Transition & Family
When one person in a couple changes
A dietary change by one partner is a change for both, and treating it as a personal decision that affects nobody else is where the friction starts.
Transition & Family
Vegetarian versus vegan: the practical differences
The nutritional gap between the two is narrower than people assume in some respects and wider in others, and knowing which is which is useful.
Transition & Family
Explaining it to people who ask
The same questions come up constantly, several are asked in bad faith, and having short honest answers ready makes the whole thing easier.
Transition & Family
What to do when the diet is not working for you
Some people feel worse on a plant-based diet. The reasons are usually identifiable and fixable, and occasionally the honest answer is different.
Transition & Family
Feeding a household where not everyone eats the same way
Cooking two meals every night is unsustainable. The solution is a shape of meal that works for everyone with one addition.
Transition & Family
Pregnancy on a plant-based diet
It can be done well and it requires more attention than at any other stage of life, with several nutrients where the stakes are genuinely high.
Transition & Family
Eating out and eating with other people
The social side is what makes plant-based eating difficult to sustain, and most of it is manageable with a small amount of planning and a particular attitude.
Transition & Family
Feeding children on a plant-based diet
It can be done well and it requires more attention than an adult diet, because the consequences of getting it wrong in a growing child are different.
Transition & Family
Starting out: the first month without wrecking it
Most people who abandon plant-based eating do so in the first six weeks, for reasons that are predictable and mostly avoidable.
