Chef, Would it be a good idea to go Vegan slowly? Maybe start off with every breakfast, the first week, then breakfast and lunch the second week? And soon so on?

Hello Krystal, going Vegan slowly will help you get accustom to a new lifestyle change. Suggestion I would try going full-fledged Vegan, for 7 days to get the full experience.
