Summary

A few years ago Matt wrote a post called 10 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Went Vegan. It was a reflection on his first 2 years as a vegan, and all the things he wish someone had told him before he made that change. Now that I'm inching towards my 2-year anniversary, we revisit that topic together and compare lists. When you make a giant change, like switching to a vegan diet or training for your first marathon, there's nothing that can fully prepare you for the experience. But in our cases, there are a few things we wish someone had told us -- or advice we wish we would have actually taken in -- before making the switch to a plant-based diet. In today's episode, we discuss those lessons, how they've impacted our experience so far, and why some of Matt's have changed since his original post.
