Plant-Based Dietitian Vancouver

A plant-based diet is a way of eating that primarily focuses on foods derived from plants, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and plant-based oils.

It emphasizes minimizing or eliminating animal products such as meat, dairy, and eggs, though some people may include small amounts of these in their diet.

The core principle of a plant-based diet is to prioritize nutrient-dense, whole foods that provide essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.

This diet is often associated with numerous health benefits, including a reduced risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Additionally, a plant-based diet is environmentally sustainable, as plant foods generally have a lower carbon footprint compared to animal products.

How can a dietitian help with a plant-based diet?

• Expert guidance on how to ensure you're meeting all your nutritional needs, including protein, iron, calcium, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids, which can be more challenging to obtain from plant sources alone.
• Create a personalized meal plan, a dietitian helps you incorporate a variety of whole, nutrient-dense foods to maintain balance and prevent deficiencies.
• Provide practical tips for meal prep, grocery shopping, and dining out, making it easier to stick to your plant-based goals while enjoying a wide range of delicious, satisfying meals.
