Five Steps To Starting Your Vegan Lifestyle

June 7, 2020 by Viktoria

Trying to go vegan and don't know where to start? We believe that you'll feel healthier and happier – and that you'll never look back!


Making the change to a vegan lifestyle can speak to us in lots of different ways. When we take an honest look at our consumer habits, the many fantastic reasons to go vegan are impossible to ignore! Do you want to make sure that what you buy does not result in harm to animals? Have you become aware that non-vegan products harm the environment and you don't want to be a part of that? When you feel the call to change your lifestyle, the biggest challenge can be figuring out where to begin. Here at Viktoria, we want to help you make this life-changing shift. It's time to love yourself, animals, and the planet through a vegan lifestyle!


The latest stats from Wikipedia tell us that there are somewhere between 550 and 950 million vegans all around the world. That's a huge community to become a part of! We believe that this will be the decade that sees veganism go truly mainstream, and we're excited to be a part of that monumental shift! So, let's look at steps that you can easily take, in order to make this lifestyle transformation. We believe that you'll feel healthier and happier – and that you'll never look back!

1. Go Meatless

Giving up meat might seem a little bit intimidating, but it's simply a case of discovering how incredible vegan food can be! If you don't feel ready to make the change over-night, start by going meatless one day a week. Explore exciting vegan recipes and cooking tips online. Gradually, as you master incredible new dishes, you can increase your vegan meal choices, until you don't eat animal products at all!


The food industry has realized how important sustainable and vegan alternatives to meat are going to become. This has seen the invention of products like the Impossible Burger and Beyond Burger. These meatless “burgers” not only imitate the taste and texture of their meatbased counterparts, but their nutritional profile too! You might not feel the need to eat products that taste like meat, but if you do, alternatives are going to become far more readily available

2. Educate Yourself

 A clear vision of what motivates you is an important part of easy transition to a vegan lifestyle. You can learn about why veganism matters through an amazing range of documentaries, books, and websites. Powerful films such as Cowspiracy, Earthlings, and The Game Changers will give you a clear perspective on your lifestyle choice, and help you explain it to others. Sometimes, watching such documentaries can be upsetting for animal lovers, but part of this lifestyle change means being honest with ourselves. We need to learn about the impact of our choices, and take responsibility as we move forwards!


“When you change your mind, and start living according to your new points of view, you begin changing truth.”


3. Make Vegan Conscious Fashion Choices

Of course, a vegan lifestyle means more than focusing on the things we eat. It also means changing all the other buying choices that we make! Conscious fashion consumers not only avoid leather made from animal skin. They also steer clear of plastics that break down into microplastics, or leach nasty chemicals into the environment. Viktoria is a brand that takes these issues very seriously! That's why we use PU, or Polyurethane, to create our high quality vegan leather goods. This type of plastic biodegrades without causing these harmful pollutants. In the future, we aim to move towards innovative plastic-free vegan leathers, and products made from recycled ocean plastic too!

4. Connect With Other Vegans

Now you know that there's a lot of other vegans out there, it's time to collect with people who share your passion! Finding others who love animals and the planet is rewarding, and easy to do. You can discover online communities where you can discuss your new lifestyle among virtual friends. Check out local vegan eateries in your area – you might be surprised by how many there are! Before you know it, you will have fallen in love with vegan living, and the all the people who have committed to it!


The more connected you feel to others, the more empowered you will feel to stick with your new lifestyle journey! If you want to find vegan role models, there are loads to choose from! Actresses like Natalie Portman, or Ellen Page, have made veganism a lifestyle – as has fashion designer Stella McCartney. Joker actor Joaquin Phoenix, and cinema legend Woody Harrelson, have both helped to create inspirational documentaries because they are so passionate about vegan values.
