What Is A Vegan Diet?

A vegan diet eliminates all meat and animal-derived products. This includes red and white meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, dairy products, eggs, honey, gelatin, and other additives. 

View our blog, Vegetarian vs Plant-Based vs Vegan Diet for more information!

Is It Hard To Be Vegan?

Eliminating meat, dairy, eggs, fish, and other animal products is a lot easier than it sounds. This is especially true if you thoroughly research how to transition to a vegan diet and have the right mindset. It also helps that vegan foods are becoming more popular and mainstream, which makes it easier to shop and dine out at restaurants. If you’re still on the fence about eating a vegan diet, consider doing a trial run by going vegan for a week!

Is A Vegan Diet Healthy?

There are so many health benefits to a vegan diet, and research proves this! When you eliminate meat, dairy, and eggs, you significantly reduce your chances of developing chronic diseases like cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and more.

Can You Get Enough Protein Eating A Vegan Diet?

“Where do you get your protein?” is probably the most popular question asked by new vegans and non-vegans alike. The good news is, as long as you eat a variety of whole foods, you’ll be able to meet your daily protein needs on a vegan diet. 

View our blog, How To Get Protein on a Vegan Diet to discover the top sources of plant-based protein. 

Is Following A Vegan Diet Expensive?

You can absolutely eat a vegan diet on a budget or without spending a lot of money. While vegan junk foods and specialty vegan items can be pricey, other foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, grains, tofu, and canned beans are very affordable. Meat prices are on the rise, so you’ll probably end up spending less money on groceries over time.

Can I Still Be Vegan If There Aren’t Any Vegan Restaurants Or Stores Near Me?

Absolutely! While vegan restaurants and grocery stores can make life easier and are more convenient, neither of them are required to eat a vegan diet. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, plant-based milk, spices, and other pantry staples can all be found at your local grocery store or farmer’s market. 

Most vegan items sold at specialty grocery stores are usually heavily processed and should be seen as a treat. When it comes to dining out, you may have to modify your order and ask your waiter how items are prepared and if they can be made vegan. You could also try eating at Indian or Asian restaurants, which tend to be more vegan-friendly. If you need help navigating your local vegan restaurant scene, try downloading the Happy Cow app, which locates vegan dining options near you.

Can You Lose Weight On A Vegan Diet?

You can certainly lose weight on a vegan diet. New vegans often notice they’re able to lose a significant amount of weight without trying. But even when you’ve hit a plateau, there are many ways you can keep the number on the scale moving.

Is Honey Vegan?

This question is a hot debate topic for many vegans. While it’s easy to place meat, eggs, and dairy in the “not vegan” category, honey isn’t as easy to define. That being said, many vegans don’t consider honey to be vegan because of the way it exploits bees. The good news is, honey can easily be substituted with other vegan sweeteners, such as agave nectar, pure maple syrup, or date syrup.

Is Alcohol Vegan?

Most alcohol is vegan. Some alcohol may not be vegan because they are filtered with animal products such as isinglass (made from fish bladders), egg whites, or gelatin. Unfortunately, these ingredients won’t end up on the product label, making it hard to know if it’s vegan or not. If you’re worried your favorite beer, wine, or liquor may not be vegan-friendly, there’s an app for that! Barnivore is a vegan alcohol directory with over 53,000 beer, wine and liquor products.
