Choosing a plant-based diet, whether it be for ethical, environmental or health reasons, there is endless benefits - from reducing symptoms of arthritis to improved blood sugar control and weight loss. Of course, with all diets it's important to consider any risks - vegans are at a higher risk of iron deficiencies, lower calcium levels and even less vitamins. A well-planned vegan diet can include all the nutrients needed for a healthy diet - if you're new, try to follow The Vegan Plate - 50% vegetables and fruit, 25% grains and 25% plant-based proteins such as Quinoa, or Tofu.

Amelia's Vegan Tips:
- Eat out at vegan restaurants, cafes and fast food places because these are people that really know what they are doing and you 100% won’t be disappointed. Some of my favourites are Mildreds and Unity Diner in London, but do a little google search and you’ll definitely have some amazing independent vegan cafes closer than you might realise.
- Watching informative documentaries like Cowspiracy and What the Health are invaluable- If you don’t have the time you can find so many podcasts like Food For Thought that you can listen to on the go or short You tube videos by creators such as Earthling Ed.
- Make sure to supplement so you feel all the benefits of a plant based diet, with an easy transition. A vegan multivitamin will cover a lot (make sure it contains iron and B12) but I would also recommend omega 3 from algal oil and iodine from sea kelp. Although it seems intimidating it’s really easy and you will reap the benefits.
- Make it work for you and go easy on yourself. You will make a lot of mistakes at first but that is normal. It is all about making swaps that work for you and that you enjoy. Trying a plant based diet is an amazing opportunity to discover some amazing food! Going vegan isn’t all or nothing, it can be a gradual process. It is an amazing community to be a part of that are so welcoming, kind and encouraging.
