WHERE DO I START?
Check out our article on How To Start A Plant-Based Diet For Beginners. That’ll give you the basics of using simple plant-based meat and dairy alternatives, eating out at restaurants, and putting together plant-based meals at home. Worried about getting enough protein? Fuhgeddaboudit. Nutritionists agree that it’s not difficult to get enough protein on a plant-based diet. Most foods contain some protein. And we don’t need much: adult women need about 46 grams of protein a day, on average, and men need about 56 grams. For more info, dip into our article on Plant-Based Protein Sources.
