To those who are thinking of converting to a vegan diet, I give advice based on my experience with a former vegan husband and vegan friends (many vegan friends): get informed, informed, informed. It is not possible to have a balanced vegan diet if you think that eating walnuts and hazelnuts all day will allow you to reach your protein quota without exceeding in polyunsaturated fatty acids that are harmful to your health, or if you think that the only alternative to animal proteins is the tofu or if it still occurs to you to remake traditional recipes by converting everything to seed oil and margarine. A balanced vegan diet must be natural and of quality, but above all it varies. If you are short of ideas and you know that there is a hidden undergrowth of vegan foods that you don’t know where to find, you can take inspiration from excellent vegan cooking blogs, such as Vegan Cucina Felice  or Una V nel Piatto , take a cooking class vegan, read vegan cookbooks like this one by Simone Salvini .
