Introduction
If you’re looking into veganism, new to it, or old to it, The Best Vegan 101 Beginner Guide is the right guide for more information. Transitioning to veganism can be a tricky road with many pathways. During my transition, I had so many questions and needed answers. I didn’t know where to start. I became addicted to researching, watching, and studying anything I could get my hands on about the subject.
After absorbing tons of information like an infosponge, I realized that other people are also in the same situation that I was in. They wanted better health, but they didn’t know where to start. I decided to compile a list of all my favorite resources to help others have a smoother transition. Subscribe or bookmark these to keep getting more information.

Important Information
It’s very important that you make sure you’re getting the proper vitamins and minerals for your body. Supplements are very good to have on hand to ensure that you are not missing anything your body needs. 🙂 Not feeling full after meals? This means you need to add more fiber to your meals. Fiber helps you feel full. Here’s a list of fruits and veggies that contain fiber.
B12: It is recommended that your daily intake of B12 is 2.4 mcg. Pregnant women should have 2.6 mcg and lactating women should have 2.8 mcg of B12. You CAN overdo B12 WHILE pregnant.
Excessive intake of B12 during pregnancy may pose risks to your baby’s health and development in the womb. It is crucial to ensure an adequate supply of B12 during breastfeeding. Failing to address a B12 deficiency in yourself may result in your baby also becoming deficient, potentially leading to permanent issues and damage in their brain development.
B12 is a water-soluble supplement, which means that when you are not pregnant, and the body takes in too much B12, you usually excrete it in urine. While pregnant, if you take too much B12 – it will pass through you, then your baby, then your urine.
