I had an interesting email today.
Recollecting the conversation I had with this lady, I do believe I was honest (I am honest on these things, I have to be) that as a vegan who follows our 28 Day Challenge finding a quality protein that isn't a carb also is a challenge. Also as a vegan it's easy to eat good quality food but neglect adequate macro nutrient ratio's (fat, protein and carbs) without adequate planning. But I would never say that therefore they should eat meat.
Vegan's are able to hit all there needs, but like any nutrition approach that involves a restriction of a food group planning is king.
This individual did want a body composition results and that means increasing protein and being mindful of the quality and quantity of carbs. Fat is easy on a vegan diet and so is veg (ha!) protein not so much.
You have to be more focused on this area as a vegan, this is not criticism just our experience.
On the flip side many meat eaters don't get enough veg in their diet.
It got me thinking what am I communicating with food and nutrition in general?
- Is the quality of the food good?
- Are you consistent over time?
- Is your portion control good?
- Are you planning ahead and making time for food?
Get skilled up in these areas and you'll smash your goals.
