People eating a vegan diet avoid all products derived from animals. Vegans, like vegetarians, shun meat, poultry, and fish. Unlike vegetarians, vegans avoid all foods that are derived from animals, including eggs, milk, cheese, and even honey.
There are many reasons people choose a vegan lifestyle, including:
The biggest challenge in eating a vegan diet is to ensure that you’re getting enough protein. Plant-based sources of protein include peas, beans and lentils; nuts, seeds, soy products like tofu and tempeh, and whole grains. Vitamin B12 can also be tricky to replace from plant sources; though many soy products are fortified with B12, a supplement ensures you’re getting enough. And iron and/or calcium deficiency can also occur; to avoid it be sure to eat plenty of leafy greens, and add a supplement if necessary. Elm City’s Wellness department stocks any supplements you might need to support a plant-based diet.
