This about all the foods you can eat, rather than focusing on what you’ll be leaving out.
My number one tip is to not berate yourself if you happen to have a slip up.
My number one tip is grace. Give yourself grace, be patient, realize there’s no such thing as perfection. 🙂
Make your main focus whole foods and have compassion for yourself when you feel overwhelmed.
Do your best to focus on whole foods and have compassion for yourself when you feel overwhelmed.
My tip: Think about what you CAN enjoy, not what you can’t.
Fran, what a lovely surprise to see your review today! Thank you, thank you for getting Journey into more hands and hearts with this posting on your beautiful site. Chocolate all around! Muah!

Hi Lani! Your book is such a delight- loke you!! Muah back at ya!
My number one tip is to be forgiving with yourself and others. No one is perfect.
Don’t be discouraged and do the best you can. It will be a journey. Don’t give up if you make a couple mistakes. You can overcome and keep going.
Amber, Patty, Susan, Kasey – we must be on the same wavelength today – there’s a line from Journey that seems to have universal appeal, and it really helps me: “Perfectionism should not be confused with striving for excellence”. It’s been pointed out by others so many times that yesterday my publisher made a charming graphic out of that quote – it’s in the Onward section, end of The Plant-Based Journey. If you’d like I can send you the graphic, just email me at lani@lanimuelrath.com. I also posted it on facebook and instagram, maybe you have seen them there.
Onward! Enjoy what you eat! Wish everyone could win a copy of Journey!

My number one tip is to look at the plant-based food on your plate and marvel at the beauty of the food.
Treat yourself and all life lovingly … and connect to the many online resources for vegan/plant-based living. You will find that there is unlimited support and information available to you.
Remember that living a plant-based lifestyle helps to save lives: you and your family, animals, and the environment/planet. Remember the big picture and it’s easy to choose plants over animal products. Vote with your plate (and against murder, torture, pain, cholesterol, excessive water consumption, and environmental destruction).
get a good green based cookbook and plan a shopping list for about 3-4 recipies a week from it, then enjoy the leftovers as well. It will help you get used to changing if this is new eating to you
Don’t be afraid to try new foods, new seasonings, new ways of preparation.
