Plant Based Diets
Plant based diets. There is absolutely nothing wrong with following a diet predominantly of plants. However, it is essential that you have the correct knowledge to ensure your body gets the nutrients it needs.
If you jump into following a vegetarian or vegan diet without having the knowledge to do it properly you may be putting yourself at risk of nutrient deficiencies, as well as not meeting your energy requirements and as a result experience poor health and fatigue.
