Some online nutrition red flag advice to look out for (plant-based edition) 🫢
As a clinical nutritionist and someone who has been in this space for 10 years, I’ve seen a lot of misinformation floating around online😅 Here are some red flags to look out for:
1️⃣ Cutting out all oils: Healthy fats aren’t optional!They’re essential for nutrient absorption, brain function, and hormones.
2️⃣ Not supplementing with Vitamin B12: Plant-based diets don’t naturally provide B12. Without it, you risk fatigue, nerve issues, and anemia. A simple supplement keeps you thriving!
3️⃣ Not actively replacing protein: Protein doesn’t just “happen” on a plant-based diet. Be intentional! Tofu, tempeh, TVP, protein powders, and legumes are your best friends for hitting daily needs.
