I switched to a vegan diet out of ideology, not health issues, so I didn't really plan how to do it. I just eat plenty of vegetables, fruit, and all kinds of beans or lentils. I think cooking fresh meals (instead of eating out or eating pre-cooked food) has a lot to do with it.

Basically, just listen to your body. I don't take any vitamins and I'm reasonably fit.

So where does your B12 come from?
Either you get it from pills yourself, or (if not vegan) the animals will be injected with it. Either way, there is no perfect solution to fill up your B12 needs
That's only true for anti biotics infested farm animals though. Either way if you go for a vegan diet you have to keep up with B12. Don't fall for the naturalistic fallacy ("if I eat fresh and 'natural' it will all be fine").
