The Ultimate Guide to a Vegan Diet

  1. Focus on plant-based proteins – Include lentils, chickpeas, tofu, quinoa, nuts, and seeds to meet protein needs.
  2. Ensure key nutrients – Get enough iron (leafy greens, lentils, beans with vitamin C), calcium (fortified plant milk, almonds), and vitamin D.

  3. Incorporate healthy fats – Consume avocados, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts for brain and heart health.

  4. Supplement wisely – Take vitamin B12 and omega-3 supplements (from algae, flaxseeds, chia seeds) as needed.

  5. Eat a variety & stay hydrated – Include colorful whole foods and drink plenty of water for overall health.
