Thank you both.
I'm in the very early stages of research, so excuse basic questions. Also, I'm going to declare now that my reasons for this are purely for performance gain.
The only issues I can foresee if I chose to try a vegan diet is that I really like dairy. Meat and fish I can live without. But milk in coffee and cheese on pizza I will struggle with. Firstly, hand on heart, are the vegan alternatives good? Or a poor substitute and I should just get over it? Secondly, one of the main benefits that has attracted me to this is the possibility of increased energy and reduced recovery times. If I were to peruse a mostly vegan diet (i.e. occasional consumption of non vegan food) would I likely forgo those benefits? Or only temporarily? Basically, can I have my cake and (occasionally) eat it?
Last, my job is a pain in the ass and requires periods of late hours and therefore take out dinners. What is good in soho area for vegan lunches and take out? I used to use Beetroot on Berwick St all the time, but alas it's gone now. Anything I've spotted recently charges a small fortune for a few grains of quinoa.
Thanks for any advice.
