Clear your house of all non-vegan products like Lea Michelle
Former Glee star Lea Michelle told US Weekly: “I keep my home completely vegan, which I think is one of the most important things. If you keep your home healthy, then, when you’re reaching for snacks, you’re not reaching for bad things. So, I stock it with fruits and vegetables.”
Have a back-up option at home like Ariana Grande

Use apps like Tiffany Watson

Stock up on grains, lentils, rice and beans like Ellen Pompeo
Former Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo told People: “I don’t think it’s tricky at all — it’s actually easier because meat you have to cook it before it goes bad. Grains and lentils and rice and beans, everything’s in the pantry already.”
Swap burgers for meat substitutes like Kate Mara
House of Cards actress Kate Mara told Bon Appetit: “I’m completely obsessed right now with the vegan, gluten-free Beyond Meat burger. The first time I had it, I thought, ‘I must have gotten this wrong.’ It looked so bloody because of the beets! I’m completely addicted. I’ll cook one up in some olive or coconut oil, top it with a slice of vegan American, and put it in a gluten-free bun with ketchup and lettuce.”
Take your vitamins like Natalie Portman
Hollywood actress Natalie Portman revealed to Harper’s Bazaar: “I usually have oatmeal or avocado toast in the morning … I take vitamins too — vitamin D, and I’m still on prenatal vitamins. I get B12 shots once a month because it’s the one thing you don’t get from a vegan diet.”
