The Most Popular Vegan Diet Types
While a vegan diet might seem niche enough, you might be shocked to discover there are even subtypes!
Some follow a raw vegan diet, in which they only eat uncooked foods – even in the winter!
These diets are often filled with big colorful salads, fruit plates, sauces and soups made with tahini, avocado or peanut butter, lettuce wraps, hummus, smoothies and more.
Others consider themselves whole food plant based vegans. This usually means they simply stay away from processed foods and store-bought vegan cheeses or meats, instead opting for foods in their natural form.
You can always explore these subtypes should you ever be interested, but it’s a good idea to transition into the general vegan world before trying these.
Easy into veganism by cutting out just one food group like meat, or if that seems too daunting, try cutting out just red meat. See how it feels and begin to transition into vegan protein sources like tofu, tempeh, setitan, beans or lentils.
