Plant Based Transition Tool

Move toward more plant-based eating gradually — at a pace that sticks.

Step 1 — Add, do not subtract

Crowd the plate with more veg, beans and grains before removing anything.

Step 2 — Swap meals you already like

Find plant versions of familiar favourites — easier than brand-new dishes.

Step 3 — Go further at your own pace

Meat-free days, then most meals, then wherever feels right for you.

Watch key nutrients (B12, iron, omega-3, protein) as you reduce animal foods — a dietitian can help you do it well.
