At Paleovsketo, we believe this starts with being aware of all the ingredients and sources in what we consume daily.
By understanding how our diet works together with our lifestyle and habits, we can begin the journey to better health.
It's not just about eating the right food; it's also about developing positive behaviors for lasting changes.
The key is basically learning to trust yourself and your intuition when it comes to deciding what’s best for your body.
For example, instead of trying a certain trend because everyone else is doing it or looking at calorie counts on packaging labels while shopping, focus on maintaining an overall healthy mindset and getting into the habit of aiming for a wholesome diet made up of mostly whole foods.
This will bring clarity around choosing better options no matter where you are or what’s available.
Ultimately, only you know what fits within your life and dietary needs - so have faith in yourself!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a plant based diet be dangerous?
While many people have reported health benefits from switching to a plant-based lifestyle, there are risks involved in any type of diet. People who want to transition to a plantbased lifestyle need to be mindful of their vitamin and mineral intake. Unbalanced diets without adequate replacements can lead to deficiencies and other health problems. A vegan/plant-based lifestyle can also mean avoiding dairy and eggs which could lead to muscle loss. People who follow a plant-based diet must adapt their diets to meet their nutritional needs.
Is there a limit to how much meat you can eat on a plantbased diet?
A plant-based diet does not allow for any meat. This lifestyle excludes all animal products such as meat, fish, or poultry. Fortunately, plenty of vegan substitutes can offer the same flavor and texture without animal products. Tofu, seitan (wheat flour), tempeh, fermented soybeans, and mock duck made of mushrooms can all mimic traditional meat dishes. Vegetarian burgers made of black beans and/or quinoa can be as good as beef burgers. Other tasty vegan alternatives include coconut bacon strips or eggplant bacon bits; tofu mayo; veggie hot dogs made with seasoned textured soy protein; and faux chicken strips from wheat gluten.

How to make the transition from a plant-based diet easy without feeling overwhelmed
The transition to a more plant-based diet can seem overwhelming at first. But, with proper preparation and education, it's possible. Take baby steps and slowly incorporate changes into your diet. Whole foods are healthier and filling than processed alternatives.
Planning and meal preparation requires dedication. Plan your meals ahead of time so you can plan and shop for the right ingredients and allocate enough time for each dish. The best kitchen appliances, such as multi-cookers or slow cookers, can make it easier to use. Batch cooking means you can have multiple meals ready in a single go.
Don't be afraid to try new flavours. Experimenting with different cuisines can help you add variety to your vegan diet. Instead of shopping impulse at the grocery store, create a grocery plan that is based on recipes. It will be easier to make the switch if you have the right ingredients and some helpful preparation tips.
