Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get enough nutrition from a plant based diet?
Yes, it is possible to get enough protein from a plant-based food. Legumes, nuts, seeds, and grains can provide amino acids to build muscle and stay healthy. Soy products such as tofu contain all 9 essential amino acids the body cannot make and must get from food. Combining legumes and grains with vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and kale can provide sufficient protein to ensure adequate nutrition. Plant-based protein are better for long-term satisfaction and support longer-lasting satiety. Other essential nutrients can also be balanced by adding omega-3 fats to plant-based foods like flaxseeds or chia seeds and walnuts.
Supplements are necessary when you eat a plant based diet.
A balanced diet of plants can provide all the necessary nutrients to maintain good health. However certain micronutrients need to be supplemented to ensure they are not missing. Vitamin B12 is crucial for cognitive and nervous health. This vitamin is not available in animal sources. However, vegetarians and vegans might benefit from supplementation. A lot of plant-based foods lack iron and zinc. These minerals are vital for healthy metabolism, red blood cells production, tissue growth, repair, and healthy metabolism. Also, Omega 3 fatty acid plays an important role in the normal functioning of the body. They help control inflammation and maintain proper brain function. Most plant-based food sources do not contain omega-3s due to their biochemical properties: supplementation may help ensure a delicate balance of this vital nutrient. Last but not least, calcium is vital for maintaining strong bones. It can also be found in limited quantities through vegetables like broccoli and kale. You may want to supplement your diet if you have difficulty meeting your daily calcium requirements. It is always a good idea not to introduce new supplements without first consulting your doctor.
Is it possible for a plant-based diet to help you lose weight?
Yes, a plant-based diet is able to help you lose weight. It is possible to get enough volume from eating a variety fruit and vegetable, legumes, fruits, nuts, seeds, and other protein-rich plants without adding any extra calories. A well-rounded vegan meal plan is usually low in saturated fat and cholesterol-containing foods like red meat and processed snacks that tend to add weight instead of take it away. Research shows that eating a plant-based diet can help increase metabolism and decrease the risk of obesity. Eating healthy foods rich in fiber and avoiding starches, sugars, white bread, and pasta can further help weight loss and provide essential vitamins and minerals that the body needs to be healthy.
Can you still eat at restaurants if you eat a plant-based diet
Many restaurants are now offering plant-based options on their menus. In larger cities and communities, many vegan restaurants are popping up and offering exciting food choices. Many mainstream restaurants offer vegetarian-friendly options, so you can still enjoy the best of traditional restaurant cuisine while following a plant-based diet. You should look for recipes that feature vegetables and legumes like tofu, tempeh or seitan. Instead of using mayonnaise, high in saturated fat dressings or mayonnaise, use vinegar and healthy oil. Do not hesitate to ask your server about vegan options or dairy substitutions with almond or coconut milk.
Additionally, consider researching vegan cookbooks in advance for ideas about what proteins can replace meats and rich sauces. Restaurants are open to accommodating guests on a plant-based diet. If you're creative and do some research, it is possible to eat out on a plant based diet and enjoy your meal.

Also, try to get different colors of produce for better nutrition. A balanced combination of fiber, protein and healthy fats should be considered in each meal. You can also make batch cooking easier by using kitchen appliances such slow cookers or multi-cookers.
