"But Jules! Vegans have less #energy than meat-eaters."
.
My friends, if you are considering doing 30 + days of #veganuary with our community we need to bust this common misconception.
.
This perception stems from the belief that animal-based foods are the primary sources of #energy, particularly because of their #protein and #B12 content.
.
HOWEVER! Energy primarily comes from carbohydrates, which are abundant in a #vegan diet through foods like #fruits, #vegetables, #grains, and #legumes.
.
Moreover, many plant-based foods are rich in other nutrients that contribute to energy levels, such as #iron, #magnesium, and #vitaminC, which aids in #iron absorption.
.
When appropriately planned, a vegan diet can provide all the necessary #nutrients needed for good energy levels. In fact, some people report an increase in energy after switching to a vegan diet, possibly due to the higher intake of complex #carbohydrates, #vitamins, #antioxidants, and #minerals, which are vital for energy production and overall #metabolism.
.
It's also important to note that B12, which is essential for energy metabolism, can be obtained through fortified foods or supplements in a vegan diet.
.
Luckily, I have been using a very specific supplement for 13 years and counting which I cannot recommend highly enough. #IYKYK
.
In fact, I have lots of beautiful supplements that may be a fit for your journey too. If you are even a little bit vegan-curious, and up for a challenge, let's chat Veganuary to see if it's a fit for your healthy living goals in 2024 & beyond.
