Anyone planning to
change their diet should first find out which
vegan foods contain which nutrients in significant amounts. Especially in the initial phase, it is important to pay attention to your own energy balance. Plant-based foods tend to contain fewer calories than animal foods. Many vegans in the beginning observe a vegan weight loss effect in the course of their diet change, which is however then unhealthy, if slim humans lose too fast or too much body weight.
Apart from a sufficient supply with
micro nutrients vegans must pay attention also to the
vital component protein. Many vegetable food is protein-rich and the proteins have some health advantages, but some skill is required when combining. This is the only way to make sure that you consume all the essential amino acids that are indispensable for your body.
Vegetables, fruit, wholemeal products and legumes are important components of our diet and are purely vegetable. However, there are also vegan foods that can have a negative effect on health. These include, for example, fatty chips and some
strongly industrially processed foods that imitate animal convenience products. The taste, consistency and appearance of pork chops and cheese can only be copied if the vegetable raw materials are processed beyond recognition and provided with all kinds of additives. They are therefore hardly suitable as basic foodstuffs.
