Five myths about Vegan food

Don't be intimidated by rumors about the vegan diet. We found as many as 5 false myths that could have affected your food choices. 1. Plants do not provide the necessary amount of protein Not all the proteins necessary to our needs are contained in the meat. A bean dish contains the same amount of protein as a hamburger. Almost all foods of plant origin (except alcohol and sugar) contain protein, although it would be useful to keep in mind the foods that should never be lacking in a Vegan Diet , such as lentils, beans, nuts, seeds and almond milk, but also broccoli, chickpeas, lupines and peas. 2. You will not be able to train like before This is a false myth, as demonstrated by the vegan athletes who managed to achieve great results, such as the case of Carl Lewis, winner of 20 Olympic medals in track and field, long jump and relay. Another dignified example, this time for women, is given by the vegan skater Meagan Duhamel , winner of the silver medal at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, or the award-winning tennis player Serena Williams. The only care required of vegan athletes is to pay attention to their diet, taking care to obtain the necessary intake of protein, vitamins and vitamin B12. 3. Vegans are all thin


In general, a plant-based diet reduces the risk of obesity, but rest assured that you will not lose weight if this is not your intent! The vegans who continue to eat other packaged or industrial foods, too many carbohydrates, many fats and sugars, are in fact still at high risk of being overweight. For this it is necessary to follow a correct diet rich in fiber, vegetables and fruit to fully enjoy the energies and your physical form. 4. The vegan diet is not suitable for pregnant women Even if pregnancy is not the right time to experiment with a diet different from the usual one, a woman who follows a plant-based diet has more chance of maintaining her weight during pregnancy, thus avoiding some problems such as high blood pressure and gestational diabetes. 5. Eating vegan costs more Certainly the most elaborate and organic foods are available at Vegan Food provider in Los Angeles at affordable prices, but it is undoubtedly the meat that holds the record for what concerns the high costs. It is enough to think of the fact that the biggest consumers are, incidentally, the inhabitants of the richest continents. The vegan diet is instead considered very economical, especially if you eat seasonal vegetables, certainly more tasty, healthy and cheap. It will be enough to keep some in the freezer to have the availability of food during the other periods of the year, so as to avoid the high costs at Vegan Food Provider in Los Angeles.

Being vegan does not mean eating the "usual salad", as everyone thinks.


In fact, there are many dishes and recipes to experiment; it takes only a little imagination and good will. For a healthy, varied and tasty menu you are on the right site!
