Plan. Setting out the weekly meals is super helpful. Visit the grocery store 2-3 times at the beginning, however it will get easier. PCRM has a great 21 day meal planner: http://www.pcrm.org/kickstartHome/mealplan/week-1 (it takes 21 days to change a habit). If possible, I would recommend either a private chef or a vegan service to help cover cooking at least three meals a week (for the first 3 weeks as you make the transition). Plant based food is AMAZING as long as you plan and make it delicious. You will not even miss the meat and dairy with all the new amazing dishes. https://www.purplecarrot.com/plans Cookbooks: https://minimalistbaker.com/everyday-cooking/ (mainly GF); All forks over knives cookbook titles, All the recipes in the back of each doctor’s book (see DR list below).

Products. The goal is to not really need products since you will be be eating all whole foods (grains, legumes, veggies, fruit) but products can really help during the transition to the diet and to have on hand for busy days. Plus, if cheese is a love, these nut cheeses are AMAZING!http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/about-our-products/product-lines/engine-2http://www.treelinecheese.comhttp://www.kite-hill.comhttps://www.amys.com/our-foods/bean-rice-burrito-gluten-free-non-dairy (not sure about oil content here)
