If you wish to know the how's, and what of nutrition, this community is for you. Get research backed up nutrition/diet advice/updates, and guess what ? we don't believe in demonizing any food item. Let's become aware about nutrition each day. We believe in lifestyle change and not just "dieting".
I'm considering a vegan diet for ethical reasons. How can I ensure I'm meeting all my nutritional needs without animal products? @NutritionistHudaShaikh

Hi there, I hope you are well. Here 's how you can meet all the requirements - 1) Switch to being a vegetarian first, then vegan. 2) Add more wholegrains, pulses to your daily diet. 3) Since, you've removed milk and milk products, switch to almond milk/soymilk,etc. 4) Read ingredient list to look out for any animal based products. Here's how to get all the nutrients - Protein- Switch to soy based products, beans, lentils, and sprouts to get enough protein. Vitamin B12- Vitamin B12 is ideally found in animal based products, so you need to opt for fortified foods or even supplements to avoid deficiency. Essential fatty acids- Don't forget to have nuts, and seeds , coupled with wholegrains, and leafy greens to get your dose of essential fats. Iron- Opt for green leafy veggies, beans, nuts, tofu, dried fruits to fulfill your daily iron requirement. Vitamin D- Get enough sunlight for 10-15mins daily, and opt for Vitamin D fortified products such as orange juice, and soy. All the best! Tc
