A vegan diet excludes all animal products. Many people choose to eat this way for ethical, environmental or health reasons. There are several ways to follow a vegan diet, but scientific research rarely differentiates between the different types. Vegan diets seem very effective at helping people naturally reduce the amount of calories they eat, resulting in weight loss. ]]> 2018-05-19 15:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/albalydia977/w9j7gepfyy4g/wish/262110938 statistics albalydia977 https://padlet.com/albalydia977/w9j7gepfyy4g/wish/262111017 studies show that vegans are at a higher risk of having inadequate blood levels of vitamin B12, vitamin D, long-chain omega-3s, iodine, iron, calcium and zinc. Vegans unable to meet their recommended nutrient intakes through foods or fortified products alone should consider taking supplements. ]]> 2018-05-19 15:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/albalydia977/w9j7gepfyy4g/wish/262111017 studies albalydia977 https://padlet.com/albalydia977/w9j7gepfyy4g/wish/262111159 Monica Montag, a certified nutritionist and founder of holistic nutrition practice BeWell Associates in State College, PA, attributes the weight loss that results from adopting a vegan diet to the much lower fat content in vegetables, fruits and grains as compared to meat and dairy. While there are definite benefits to react-text weight loss for overall health react-text: 214 , a sudden and rapid decrease that some vegans experience could backfire. Because vegan diets are so restrictive, many first-timers may find that they’re hungrier than usual and will reach out for not-so-wise foods—highly processed carbs, sugary, fatty foods and even vegan-formulated snacks—to fill up. According to a 2015 229 published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, vegan diets are even more effective than vegetarian diets in protecting against hypertension, type-2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. ]]> 2018-05-19 15:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/albalydia977/w9j7gepfyy4g/wish/262111159 pros of being vegan albalydia977 https://padlet.com/albalydia977/w9j7gepfyy4g/wish/262111428 Can be highly nutritious: Vegan diets include a wider variety of vegetables and fruit which means an increased intake of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants! This is a super bonus for those who find it hard to get enough nutrition from their current diet!

•         More humane: If you love animals, then consider going Vegan! Vegan diets are the most humane as they are void of any animal products.

•         More environmentally friendly: A vegan diet is the most environmentally friendly! The average meat eater consumes 197 lbs of meat which comes at a huge cost to the environment. Simply put, eating meat consumes a lot of a natural resources while vegan 

•         Can be very tasty: With increased intake of delicious plant based foods (including a larger variety of vegetables, fruits and grains), vegan diets can be very delicious! I would recommend checking out a meal plan with some recipes to set you on the right path.

It can be a challenge choosing the products that are animal free. I would suggest starting with a good vegan meal plan that includes suggestions for meals (like my plan here) 

•         Hard to get enough protein: Most vegans struggle with eating adequate amounts of protein. This is especially concerning for those who are trying to gain weight, as it is more difficult to hit macros. My suggestion would be to track your meals and add in a vegan shake to your diet! (also read my article on how to eat enough protein as a vegan)

•         Can be “carb heavy”: Vegans rely mostly on legumes, grains, vegetables and fruits for the bulk of their diet. As you have guessed it, all those foods include carbs. There is nothing wrong with an increased intake of carbohydrates. This can be problematic if those carbohydrates sources come from refined sugars and grains which lack any nutrition and can lead to bad weight gain. 

•         Can be difficult to adapt: As mentioned before, most vegans like to fully adapt a vegan lifestyle that is completely void of animal based products. This means changes in diet but also changes to how you dine outside, how you dress and what beauty products  you use.
