How I Transitioned From Vegan to Paleo

If you’re thinking about migrating your diet from vegetarian or vegan to paleo/AIP, you may be experiencing a lot of hesitation and even mental upset about your decision. It can be a tough switch to go from not eating meat to eating a diet that tends to make meat a focal point – trust me, I know!

Before I went paleo in 2013, I followed a “veg” diet and lifestyle for several years. I felt such a closeness with a vegetarian and then vegan diet, as I felt like it aligned with a lot of my personal values and health goals at the time. Still, as time wore on and my body began to struggle from a lack of animal protein, I accepted that it was time to explore other options. It wasn’t easy, but I managed to transition my diet from vegan to paleo and make peace with my decision in the process.
