About The Diet
Following a vegan diet is more of a lifestyle than a diet. Vegans do not eat anything that is an animal product, or that contains an animal product. Foods vegans do not eat include:
- Meat, fish, poultry, and shellfish
- Eggs
- Dairy products including milk, cheese, butter and products made from diary (cream, sour cream, yogurt, ice cream, etc.)
- Any food product that contains any of the above
To ensure you get the proper nutrients you need each day, be sure to consult with a registered dietitian before starting a vegan diet.
Weight loss typically occurs on vegan diets because it naturally reduces certain fats and proteins and is heavy in fruits and vegetables. The lose weight, however, you will still need to eat fewer calories than you burn each day.
If this diet seems to difficult to follow but you wish to give up meat, poultry, and fish, you might find a vegetarian diet easier to work into your lifestyle.
