Understand the nutrients your body needs (Kristin Wuhrman can help) when you start transitioning into a Plant-Based Diet.
A vegan diet can be healthy and have many positive health benefits, but ensure that it's well planned and nutritionally balanced. Make sure it "includes whole grains, colorful fruits and vegetables and heart-healthy fats." - "Vandana Sheth, RD., C.D.E" Huffington Post. Online.
You will impact many more people than you realize
You will be pleasantly surprised at who your biggest supporters are
Giving up the cheese isn't nearly as hard as it seems
Being plant-based doesn't have to be more expensive, but it can be once you become more educated on quality of food, farm markets, etc.

Drink plenty of water, as your body may not be used to getting all that extra fiber from the added fruits and vegetables.
