He went about it in all the wrong ways. He needed to know about how to balance meals by making sure he was getting enough protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. There are plenty of vegan altervatives to egg and dairy products. I'm only vegetarian and I know this.

Speaking of which, he should have transitioned. He should have been a vegetarian for a while and then transitioned into veganism.

There are also loads of dairy and egg free recipes for baked goods. I made vegan-friendly chocolate cupcakes for my (picky, meat-eating) little sisters and they loved them. If you ever feel like cutting out meat, etc. again you should check out the video Earthlings (you can find it on google video). I hope you decide to make a more permanent change in the future (regardless of whether you're vegan or not - I hope you begin to eat healthier.)

You you were healthier, mind was clearer, and you were more regular, and yet you can't wait to go back to a diet that reverses all that...hmmmm.

This video was clearly a joke and not a very good one!

The positive side effects to this are great. Heck, I didn't even go vegan - just started eating a 4:1 vegggies to meat ratio on a daily basis and it has done wonders for my body. I get more energy per calorie consumed than if I were eating microwavable dishes or fast food. After a month of eating like that, not only could I taste the "fakeness" of a McDonalds burger, but my body started to reject it. I eat lean cuts of meat (chicken or fish most days) with lots of veggies - no tofu. :)

@GottaLoveMel : your advise won't work, coz what i could figure from the video was that these guys are only trying make fun of vegans and veganisms. There is no intention of a genuine desire.

[DJKartoffelSalat]

i guess this is supposed to be funny but all i could think was your doing this wrong! its not that hard.

@GottaLoveMel oh so it's like in super size me where he only ate mcdonalds for a month because it's not like normal people eat anything besides mcdonalds.

@TheSuperVegan I think the objective of this video was to try a vegan *diet* for a few months - for the purpose of the video - not to eliminate all animal products. It sounds like he didn't do his research very well, which would make transitioning harder. I don't think saying 'what are you whining about, I became vegan in one go and it was easy' is very encouraging to people who want to make the change. Why not acknowledge that it *is* hard for some people, and help them in their struggle? 

[Nephtys80]

Okay, since you call this a mockumentary in the description I'm not sure whether you actually did this If you did it's a great experiment, but it's a pity you didn't do it with the help of someone who'd been a vegan for a longer time: you would have had far tastier food and more nutritious food if you'd known more about the options available to you.

[TheSuperVegan]

@mosomos89 You said, "i'm a professional Chef, and to me - that sounds as crazy as "i can live without breathing". I feel like you are missing an essential part of the equation of life. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything, just sharing my thoughts."

Well, I've not eat animal flesh for 34 years and others have done it for much longer. I'm not just 'sharing my thoughts'. I'm sharing my experience.

It's like saying I've never lived in France but I think it must be awful.

[TheSuperVegan]

I can't understand why this guy is making such a big deal about becoming vegan. I did it in one go and had no side effects, no need to make a big deal on a camcorder. I just did it.

If anyone is thinking about going vegan, please don't use this video as guidance.

Get in touch with a local vegan group if you have one or get in touch with the Vegan Society. Google it for the address.

[TheSuperVegan]

A question: Did you use or wear any animal products during this time? E.g. leather shoes, shampoos, soaps, etc? If so, you weren't vegan. I'm just saying.

It's a bit pointless cutting out animal ingredients in your food but using them in other areas of your life.
