People switching to the vegan way of life will make positive contributions to animal welfare and the environment. Here are some tips for starting a vegan diet.
1. Eat different food varieties
To ensure that you are getting all essential nutrients, try to include different varieties of foods in your diet. For protein and fiber, eat beans and lentils and for vitamins like A, C, E and K, eat leafy green veggies.
2. Choose whole grains
Choose whole grains like brown rice and quinoa instead of refined grains.  Whole grains are rich in vitamin B, iron and fiber. The extra fiber you get from whole grains keeps you fuller and help lose weight.
3. Focus on fish-free omega-3s
EPA and DHA are two types of omega-3 fatty acids that are essential for brain and eye development. Fish like salmon are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. However, you can select vegan sources like soymilk and breakfast bars fortified with DHA.
