Are you ready to go plant-based or plant-forward? This month, we will be focusing on how to transition to a plant-based diet in a way that will help you sustain your new healthier lifestyle!

Plant-based eating can be for everyone, the main idea is not to “diet” or remove something from the foods you eat immediately, or all at once, but more about adding more plant-based foods.

It's important to know your "why". Choose your motivation.
Giving yourself a reason to make the change will help you stick to it! Whether you want to save animals from inhumane conditions, become healthier, to increase your longevity and avoid or decrease your risks for many chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer's, or to just simply feel better right now, the plant-based nutrition is a great option.

We're here to support you in your health journey - either online with the information we provide on this page, or with one on one or group coaching. Whatever way works for you right now, we're here to cheer you on!

Did you know that there are different types of plant based eating? Which one fitrs you?

Types of Plant-Based Nutrition
A spectrum of plant-based eating options is available to you. Considering that your nutrition will be mainly coming from plants, your options are:
1) Strict plant-based nutrition (vegan): With a strict plant-based nutrition, you are not going to consume any meat, fish or animal products like dairy foods, honey or eggs.
2) Vegetarian plant-based nutrition: In a vegetarian plant-based nutrition, you will be able to consume eggs, milk, cheese and other products of animals but no meat or fish.
3) Pescatarian plant-based nutrition: The pescatarian plant-based nutrition is similar to the vegetarian one but include fish. That would mean that your nutrition includes plant-base food, eggs, milk, cheese, fish and other products of animals but no meat.
4) Flexitarian plant-based nutrition: This option is great for individuals who would like to slowly move into plant-based eating without fully committing to never eat meat again. In this plant-based nutrition option, your meals will have a large proportion of plant-base food. In addition to small portions of eggs, or dairy foods and, on occasion, include meat, fish, seafood or poultry.

3 myths about plant-based nutrition

We are hearing the word plant-based nutrition more and more in our society. Already, we can see some misinformation creeping up on social media and news. We’ve done our research and want to demystify some of the false belief that is out there.

Here’s the top 3 myths

Plant-based nutrition is unnatural
Plant-based nutrition is in fact the original Paleo diet. We once believed that early humans consumed a large proportion of animal protein in their diet. It is from that belief that, in the 2000s, the Paleo diet (mainly comprised of animal protein) became really popular in the world of nutrition and diet. Although, we now know that the nutrition of bipedal primates and Homo sapiens was primarily composed of nuts, fruits, leaves, roots, seeds and water. In that case, the “original” Paleo Diet was in reality plant-based eating.

Plant-based nutrition is a fancy term for a vegan diet
In the world of nutrition, plant-based eating is having a large portion of one’s nutrition coming from vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, whole grains and also include legumes or other plants. A spectrum of plant-based nutrition options is available to you. Some are very strict (vegan diet), others are still adding animal products like dairy (vegetarian) and at the other end of the spectrum are those that still eat meat, poultry and fish on an occasional basis. Plant-based eating can be for everyone, the main idea is to add more vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, and legumes.

Plant-based nutrition is not for athletes
It was once believed that you needed to add animal protein in your meals to increase muscle mass. In fact, the strongest mammal is the gorilla (most are herbivores). It has the ability to lift around 4409 lbs. that is 10 times its body weight. It would be like a 200 lb. individual lifting 2000 lb. If other mammals can live a healthy and strong life on a plant-based nutrition, we probably can too. Some studies and athletes have demonstrated that it is possible to increase muscles and be fit with a plant-based nutrition. For example, one of the best runners of all time and American ultramarathoner, Scott Jurek is known to be a plant-based eater!

Whether you want to save the planet, become healthier or simply feel better, the plant-based nutrition is a great option to be a better person.
