Step 1: Stop Calling It a Diet
This isn’t a diet. It’s not a lifestyle. It’s just… eating slightly differently. Don’t overthink it.
Step 2: Pick Your Two Easy Meals
Breakfast and lunch are your low-hanging fruit.
Most people already eat cereal, toast, oatmeal, or fruit for breakfast. Already plant-based. Done.
Lunch? Sandwiches, salads, wraps. Easy swaps:
- Hummus instead of deli meat
- Peanut butter instead of cheese
- Beans instead of chicken
Boom. You’re at 66% without even trying.
Step 3: Make Dinner Mostly Plant-Based
You don’t have to go full vegan at dinner. Just make it mostly plants.
Examples:
- Pasta with marinara (add veggies)
- Stir-fry with tofu or chickpeas
- Tacos with black beans
- Curry with lentils
That’s it. You’re now at 75%+.
Step 4: Don’t Be Weird About It
Social dinner? Birthday? Traveling? Eat what you want.
The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is consistency. If you’re plant-based 75% of the time, you’re already making a massive impact.
Common Mistakes
Mistake 1: Trying to replicate meat
Don’t chase fake meat. Just eat plants. Beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu—these are whole foods, not weird science experiments.
Mistake 2: Obsessing over labels
You’re not “vegan.” You’re not “flexitarian.” You’re just a person who eats mostly plants. No label needed.
Mistake 3: Being preachy
Nobody likes preachy people. Just do your thing and let your results speak.
The Mental Shift
You’re not giving up meat. You’re choosing plants most of the time.
Subtle difference, but it matters. One feels like deprivation. The other feels like a choice.
