The trick to not making it require continuous willpower is to not think of the stuff you’re not meant to be eating as an option. Pre-committing to not considering it as food means you don’t have to exercise willpower at every meal (this is similar to not agonising over every purchase once you’ve set a donation budget, although admittedly that is easier given the auto-payment thingy).
Also, If you’re not fussy about food, being vegan is, in a way, simpler and easier when eating out, as often you only have one option to choose from (although this is less true now).
