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.
