If I were you, I'd go vegi for a while, that will lead you into veganism a lot easier than going in full bore, I was vegi for three years before going vegan, I read up on it a lot and watched shit loads of youtube... I think the main thing is learning to cook a normal meal without having to reach for the meat, it's a learning curve for sure.
One thing is, you're gonna fuck up somewhere along the line, be it in something you haven't checked out in the ingredients, or when you're eating out, hence why I think being vegetarian will lead you into it naturally. The main thing is to enjoy your food, no-one wants to eat crap boring meals, there's no point in doing that at all. Vegan food is a lot bigger than it was 10 years ago, so I think you might find it a tad easier than I did first time round.
London has got some great vegi/vegan restaurants, check out Mildreds down Lexington Road and if you drink, Barnivore will become your best friend as not all alcohol is vegan ;)
Lastly, check out myprotein, who do a whole bunch of vegan protein powders, I'm gonna grab some of their stuff soon as I'm getting back on the fitness wagon again.

Considering taking the plunge into the unknown today. Have been watching a few documentaries about the topic, read a few articles also. My girlfriend currently works at a health food store, and studied bio-medical science and we have both been openly talking about the ideas of cutting back and cutting meat out completely of our diets. Reasons behind it are the cruelty to the animals and also the health benefits of restricting or cutting out animal products in one's diet.
A friend sent me this video this morning, and it has made me really consider the idea even more : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K36Zu0pA4U
However, I am worried, well scared of the unknown to be honest.
my concerns are:
Sorry to be boring, thought I'd just ask peoples experiences, we all ride, do some of you guys gym also? What foods do you use for energy fat/ protein sources?
-Protein I have: Peas, Avocado, pulses, beans
-Fats/ energy: Fruits, vegies, pasta, vegan bread,
Sorry for spam.
Cheers
Mattie
