. ➡️ There are 9 essential amino acids in total which must be consumed as part of our diet (amino acids make protein). Unlike animal sources of protein, plant protein rarely contains all 9 which seems to worry some Vegans because they think that they may end up deficient in one or more of the essentail amino acids. . ➡️ However, providing your diet is varied (different plants have different amino acids), there is nothing to worry about and you will get all of the amino acids that your body needs. It really isnt something that needs to be monitored or planned. Follow a healthy and varied whole foods, plant based diet and you will have nothing to worry about. . ➡️ In addition to this, there are some plant sources of protein which do contain all 9 essential amino acids. Examples include quinoa, chia seeds, hempseeds and soya👍🏼 #supervegancoach . #veganhealthy #veganhealthcoach #veganhealthyfood #veganhealthylife #veganhealthfood #veganhealthandfitness #veganhealthyfit #veganhealthshare #veganfitfood #veganfitnessfood #veganfitspo #veganfitnessjourney #veganfitlife #veganfittness #veganexercise #veganrunners #plantbasedpower #plantbaseddiets #plantbasedwholefood #plantbasedfitness #plantbasedrunner #plantbasedmedicine #plantbasedhealing #plantbasedwholefoods #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedhealth #plantbasedhealthcoach #plantbasedweightlossjourney #veganuk (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BquxmUQngS4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sej60e813qyh

. ➡️ I mentioned in my last post that potatoes are the most filling food relative to the number of calories that they have (see last post for details). So here are my potatoes with some Brussel sprouts to have as a side. . ➡️ For those who have been following me for a while, you’ll know that I often like to talk about how nutritious berries are. All fruit is good for you, but berries are even better! Well, Brussel sprouts are in the cruciferous vegetables group and too are very nutrient dense (think of them as the berries of the vegetable world). Try to get in cruciferous vegetables as much as possible and you will soon see improvements in your health👍🏼 #supervegancoach #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb . #veganuk #vegan #vegans #veganweightloss #veganfit #veganlife #vegansofig #vegansim #veganhealth #veganfitness #vegandiet #vegannutrition #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasedlife #plantbasedliving #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedwholefood #nutritionfacts #nutritionfactsorg #hownottodie #chinastudy #whatthehealth (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqsfcbVn8Ln/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bfh34zdie0k8

. Can you really call yourself healthy if you don’t drink green smoothies?! Although you should always opt for eating whole fruit over drinking it, smoothies can be a great to get in some extra nutrition. Don’t forget to add some chia seeds and a bit nut butter to also get some protein and healthy fats👍🏼 #supervegancoach #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb . #veganuk #vegan #vegans #veganweightloss #veganfit #vegansofig #vegansim #veganhealth #veganfitness #vegandiet #vegannutrition #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedlife #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedwholefood #nutritionfacts #nutritionfactsorg #hownottodie #chinastudy #whatthehealth #veganprotein #veganproteins #veganrecovery (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqp6Z24HVam/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wy2ygj43e17m

. ➡️ It seems that everyone nowadays is worried about not getting enough protein and consuming too many carbs. . ➡️ There appears to be nothing to suggest that as a nation we don’t get enough protein. However, it seems that most people are fibre deficient, which is a carbohydrate only found in plants. A high fibre diet can reduce cholesterol, the risk of diabetes and gut cancers such as bowel cancer and helps you to maintain a healthy weight. . ➡️ So stop worry if you’re protein deficient and start focusing on your fibre intake. Increase your fibre intake by eating less meat/animal products and more plant based food. #supervegancoach #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb . #veganuk #vegan #vegans #veganweightloss #veganfit #vegansofig #vegansim #veganhealth #veganfitness #vegandiet #vegannutrition #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedlife #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedwholefood #nutritionfacts #nutritionfactsorg #hownottodie #chinastudy #whatthehealth #veganprotein #fibre #fiber (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqpoO2EHxtT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gd0b5jj6jkn4

. ‼️Breaking news. Fruit is good for you‼️ . ➡️ Honestly, don’t believe all that nonsense about fruit having too much sugar. The sugar found in fruit is known as fructose and is a natural sugar. It is refined and added sugar that you need to limit. . ➡️ Fruit is also full of fibre which slows down the absorption of glucose (sugar) into the blood. Eat as much as you want. I ate all this today along with 3 bananas. Whilst I’m on the point, the idea of getting potassium poisoning from eating too many bananas is also ridiculous. It’s estimated that you would need to consume about 400 bananas in one day to get poisoned! #supervegancoach #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb . #veganuk #vegan #vegans #veganweightloss #veganfit #veganlife #vegansofig #vegansim #veganhealth #veganfitness #vegandiet #vegannutrition #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasedlife #plantbasedliving #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedwholefood #nutritionfacts #nutritionfactsorg #hownottodie #chinastudy #whatthehealth (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqiM4RrHaFm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tyfhqq42tqn8

. Brussel sprouts, asparagus and mangetouts. . Okay, I’ve broken a rule here! I’ve always said that when preparing your meals with fruit and vegetables, try to make your plate as colourful as possible. The reason for this is because fruits/vegetables similar in colour tend to have similar nutritional value I.e. the same vitamins and minerals. . However, I decided to break this rule for two reasons. 1. I didn’t have anymore food! 2. I wanted to mix it up a bit and buy some vegetables that I don’t normally buy (I can’t remember the last time I had Brussel sprouts and mangetouts!). . It’s a bit too easy sometimes to stick to the same foods. Don’t forget to experiment with new foods from time to time so you don’t get bored and continue to get a variety of vitamins and minerals👍🏼 #supervegancoach #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb . #veganuk #vegan #vegans #veganweightloss #veganfit #veganlife #vegansofig #vegansim #veganhealth #veganfitness #vegandiet #vegannutrition #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasedlife #plantbasedliving #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedwholefood #nutritionfacts #nutritionfactsorg #hownottodie #chinastudy #whatthehealth (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqfsvcFHBEa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kj084vw3dejv

. ➡️ People often like to talk about the deforestation caused to make room for soya plantations as if it’s a reason not to be Vegan. However, it is important to note that the majority of soya produced is actually put into animal feed and only a very small percentage of it is made into products for human consumption. The amount consumed by humans is very sustainable. . ➡️ Therefore, to minimise the environmental effects of deforestation caused by soya plantations, the best thing you can do is to minimise your consumption of meat and animal products👍🏼 #supervegancoach . #veganuk #vegan #veganweightloss #veganfit #veganlife #vegansofig #vegansim #veganhealth #veganfitness #vegandiet #vegannutrition #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedwholefood #nutritionfacts #nutritionfactsorg #hownottodie #chinastudy #whatthehealth #soya #soyabeans #soy #soybeans #tofu (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqc3b-Qniq_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m21cjsaplhh0

. ➡️ Most factory farmed animals are grain-fed. This unnatural diet leaves them deficient of many important nutrients, such as cobalt. Cobalt is needed to produce Vitamin B12. Therefore animals are given cobalt supplements to facilitate B12 production, or they are given B12 supplements directly. . ➡️ The B12 you consume when you eat meat and animal products has been provided for, or at least aided by supplementation. As a result, any claims that animal-based B12 is more natural than supplementation are completely false. #supervegancoach . #veganuk #vegan #vegans #veganweightloss #veganfit #vegansofig #vegansim #veganhealth #veganfitness #vegandiet #vegannutrition #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #supplements #vegansupplements #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedwholefood #nutritionfacts #nutritionfactsorg #hownottodie #chinastudy #whatthehealth #b12 #vitaminb12 #vitamins #worldveganmonth (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqZneauHLtV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fqypmh7arqve

. The struggles of being Vegan...🤦‍♂️ . As you will see from the list, Calcium can be found in a variety of food groups, including but not limited to, nuts and seeds, green leafy vegetables, beans and fruits. In addition to this, many plant-based milks, wholegrain cereals and bread is fortified with with many important minerals, including Calcium👍🏼 #supervegancoach . #veganuk #vegan #veganweightloss #veganfit #veganlife #vegansofig #vegansim #veganhealth #vegandiet #vegannutrition #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedlife #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedwholefood #nutritionfacts #nutritionfactsorg #hownottodie #chinastudy #whatthehealth #calcium #vegancalcium #vitamins #minerals #micronutrients #micronutrition (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqXH-29nF2J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dqly2wtbzfkj

. ➡️ A common question with quite a simple answer. Most nutrition, including protein, originates from plants i.e. the start of the food chain. I’m not saying that plant protein and animal protein are the same (they are actually very different in composition) but it is worth remembering that animal protein is effectively just recycled plant protein. . ➡️ It is also worth noting that you do not need as much protein as people often think. The National Health Service, NHS in the UK recommends just 50g of protein for someone consuming 2000 calories per day. With protein containing 4 calories per gram, this is 200 calories of protein per 2000 calories consumed. This is just 10% of your daily calories which is easily obtained on a plant-based diet. #supervegancoach . #veganuk #vegan #veganweightloss #veganfit #veganlife #vegansofig #vegansim #veganhealth #vegandiet #vegannutrition #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedlife #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedwholefood #nutritionfacts #nutritionfactsorg #hownottodie #chinastudy #whatthehealth #veganfuel #veganprotein #veganproteins #plantprotein #plantproteins #plantbasedprotein (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqU0ab8HOa2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ac21zrd9rnih

. ➡️ Low carbohydrate diets such as the Atkins and Ketogenic diet have been the craze for some time now. However, there is no evidence to back up claims that these diets are good for weight loss. . ➡️ The satiety index, or fullness factor is a measure of how filling a particular food is relative to the number of calories it has. The higher the food scores on this scale, the more filling it is and the better it is for weight loss. Boiled potatoes have a higher satiety index than any other food making it ‘the’ best food for weight loss. . ➡️ Foods that rank high on the satiety index include wholegrain bread, brown pasta and porridge, all of which would be restricted on a low carb diet. Most wholesome, plant based foods score very high on the satiety index making the whole food, plant based (wfpb) diet extremely effective at helping you maintain a healthy weight👍🏼 #supervegancoach #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb . #veganuk #vegan #vegans #veganweightloss #veganfit #veganlife #vegansofig #vegansim #veganhealth #veganfitness #vegandiet #vegannutrition #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasedlife #plantbasedliving #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedwholefood #nutritionfacts #nutritionfactsorg #hownottodie #chinastudy #whatthehealth (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqsJqCCnbFK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kp7y0glvhsnr

. ➡️ Most meat eaters see Veganism as an extreme diet. I’ll be honest, during the beginning of my transition into Veganism, I thought this too. However, you should find that with time, as you learn more and more Vegan recipes, it should get easier to maintain. . ➡️ It’s important to look at the potential health benefits of a Vegan diet. A Vegan diet can reverse many of the major chronic diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Although Veganism may seem extreme at first, so is having to take medication or even have surgery for preventable diseases in order to keep you alive. . ➡️ Veganism really isn’t that extreme when you consider all the health benefits that it brings with it. #supervegancoach #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb . #veganuk #vegan #vegans #veganweightloss #veganfit #veganlife #vegansofig #vegansim #veganhealth #veganfitness #vegandiet #vegannutrition #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasedlife #plantbasedliving #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedwholefood #nutritionfacts #nutritionfactsorg #hownottodie #chinastudy #whatthehealth (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqnCI-InCaQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jxiqan34h2l4

. ➡️ Veganism has a bit of a reputation about being an expensive diet. This can be true if you simply replace your meat with faux meat and dairy products with their Vegan counterparts. . ➡️ However, these foods are generally highly processed and contain very little nutritional value. Fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds on the other hand are very nutritious and very cheap! . ➡️ Therefore by limiting faux meat and dairy products, not only will you be saving a ton of money but you’ll also see significant improvements in your health. #supervegancoach #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb . #veganuk #vegan #vegans #veganweightloss #veganfit #veganlife #vegansofig #vegansim #veganhealth #veganfitness #vegandiet #vegannutrition #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedlifestyle #plantbasedlife #plantbasedliving #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedweightloss #plantbasedwholefood #nutritionfacts #nutritionfactsorg #hownottodie #chinastudy #whatthehealth (at Cardiff) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqjyzsZnkro/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t3u9b8qnbj1p
