If your vegan diet doesn\u2019t include a variety of fruits and vegetables, then sure, you might not get enough vitamins. But that\u2019s true for non-vegans, too. The more colors on your plate, the more vitamins your body will get. Leafy greens can be a great source of iron and you can find vitamin B12 in fortified foods like cereals and nutritional yeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s also no shame in taking vitamin supplements while you\u2019re learning the right balance, as long as you talk to your healthcare provider about it. Some important vitamins aren\u2019t easy to get from food anyway. For instance, even many folks on animal-based diets have to take vitamin D supplements if they don\u2019t spend enough time in the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_4effec-c2, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_4effec-c2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_4effec-c2\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_4effec-c2 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_4effec-c2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_4effec-c2\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_4effec-c2 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_4effec-c2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_4effec-c2\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_4effec-c2 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_4effec-c2\">Myth #3: If you don\u2019t eat dairy, you won\u2019t get enough calcium<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_9e38be-a1, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_9e38be-a1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_9e38be-a1\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_9e38be-a1 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_9e38be-a1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_9e38be-a1\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_9e38be-a1 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_9e38be-a1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_9e38be-a1\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_9e38be-a1 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_9e38be-a1\">Cow\u2019s milk is rich in calcium, so if you cut it from your diet, many think you\u2019ll be at risk for poor bone health.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_3331bc-ee, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_3331bc-ee[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_3331bc-ee\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_3331bc-ee mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_3331bc-ee[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_3331bc-ee\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_3331bc-ee img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_3331bc-ee[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_3331bc-ee\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_3331bc-ee wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_3331bc-ee\">The truth: Milk is not the only great source of calcium<\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_68aa35-fb, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_68aa35-fb[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_68aa35-fb\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_68aa35-fb mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_68aa35-fb[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_68aa35-fb\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_68aa35-fb img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_68aa35-fb[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_68aa35-fb\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_68aa35-fb wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_68aa35-fb\">You might be surprised to learn calcium is found in a lot of unexpected sources.

Plus, if you\u2019re drinking plant-based milk, most brands are fortified with as much calcium as you\u2019ll find in regular dairy milk. Some brands of oat milk offer even more calcium, with as much as 350 mg per serving compared to 290 mg of calcium in dairy milk.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_964151-26, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_964151-26[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_964151-26\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_964151-26 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_964151-26[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_964151-26\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_964151-26 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_964151-26[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_964151-26\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_964151-26 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_964151-26\">Myth #4: Going vegan means you\u2019ll always be hungry<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_d7123b-46, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_d7123b-46[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_d7123b-46\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_d7123b-46 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_d7123b-46[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_d7123b-46\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_d7123b-46 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_d7123b-46[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_d7123b-46\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_d7123b-46 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_d7123b-46\">Without animal products, it\u2019s easy to assume plant-based foods won\u2019t keep you satisfied for very long.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_f95649-3b, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_f95649-3b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_f95649-3b\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_f95649-3b mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_f95649-3b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_f95649-3b\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_f95649-3b img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_f95649-3b[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_f95649-3b\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_f95649-3b wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_f95649-3b\">The truth: Many plant-based meals will keep you full and happy<\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_d4cd84-05, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_d4cd84-05[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_d4cd84-05\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_d4cd84-05 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_d4cd84-05[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_d4cd84-05\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_d4cd84-05 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_d4cd84-05[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_d4cd84-05\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_d4cd84-05 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_d4cd84-05\">If you want a satisfying meal, it\u2019s all about getting the right balance of carbs, fats, proteins, and fiber, whether you\u2019re eating animal products or not.

If you\u2019re not getting enough servings of fruits and vegetables, you probably won\u2019t be feeling too great, even if you never touch another hamburger again.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_458dec-96, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_458dec-96[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_458dec-96\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_458dec-96 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_458dec-96[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_458dec-96\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_458dec-96 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_458dec-96[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_458dec-96\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_458dec-96 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_458dec-96\">Myth #8: Plant-based diets are bad for pregnant people<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_eaa43e-f5, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_eaa43e-f5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_eaa43e-f5\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_eaa43e-f5 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_eaa43e-f5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_eaa43e-f5\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_eaa43e-f5 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_eaa43e-f5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_eaa43e-f5\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_eaa43e-f5 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_eaa43e-f5\">Being pregnant requires extra awareness around nutrition, and some folks assume a vegan diet isn\u2019t sufficient for you and your growing baby.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_fd45f0-a9, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_fd45f0-a9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_fd45f0-a9\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_fd45f0-a9 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_fd45f0-a9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_fd45f0-a9\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_fd45f0-a9 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_fd45f0-a9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_fd45f0-a9\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_fd45f0-a9 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_fd45f0-a9\">The truth: Plant-based foods are rich in important nutrients for a healthy pregnancy<\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_dc222d-85, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_dc222d-85[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_dc222d-85\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_dc222d-85 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_dc222d-85[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_dc222d-85\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_dc222d-85 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_dc222d-85[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_dc222d-85\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_dc222d-85 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_dc222d-85\">It\u2019s always important to talk to your doctor to make sure you\u2019re getting all the vitamins you need.

But for the most part, the science suggests that eating the recommended serving (a cup and a half) of soy every day comes with a very low health risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re still concerned about eating too much soy or eating soy at all, you can adhere to a plant-based diet without soy products. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purplecarrot.com\/learn\/seitan-protein-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seitan contains no soy<\/a>, and a whole world of legumes, grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds is available to you.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_361b54-30, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_361b54-30[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_361b54-30\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_361b54-30 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_361b54-30[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_361b54-30\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_361b54-30 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_361b54-30[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_361b54-30\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_361b54-30 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_361b54-30\">Myth #11: You\u2019ll eat the same thing over and over again<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_f70f5b-ab, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_f70f5b-ab[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_f70f5b-ab\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_f70f5b-ab mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_f70f5b-ab[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_f70f5b-ab\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_f70f5b-ab img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_f70f5b-ab[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_f70f5b-ab\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_f70f5b-ab wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_f70f5b-ab\">You might be concerned that going vegan means getting stuck in a boring salad rut.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_4ca1cf-6f, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_4ca1cf-6f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_4ca1cf-6f\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_4ca1cf-6f mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_4ca1cf-6f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_4ca1cf-6f\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_4ca1cf-6f img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_4ca1cf-6f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_4ca1cf-6f\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_4ca1cf-6f wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_4ca1cf-6f\">The truth: There are endless creative possibilities in plant-based cooking<\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_263ad6-0a, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_263ad6-0a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_263ad6-0a\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_263ad6-0a mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_263ad6-0a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_263ad6-0a\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_263ad6-0a img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7396_263ad6-0a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_263ad6-0a\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading7396_263ad6-0a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7396_263ad6-0a\">Don\u2019t be fooled into thinking going vegan means eating nothing but steamed veggies and bland brown rice.
