Popular myths about vegan food that you should avoid.

vegan food


With the fleeting popularity of the vegan diet, people are adopting veganism over non-vegetarian one. With this change, there are dozens of myths and misconceptions that are spreading over the internet. Even the gourmet Indian fast-food restaurants have a separate vegan food section in their menu for vegan dishes, and people are loving it. So, we thought why not make them correct who still believe these common myths. Let’s begin now. 


The vegan diet doesn’t contain sufficient protein

 

There’s a reason why this myth tops the list and that’s because it is the most common myth among people. People who eat meat, eggs, and poultry believe they get protein only from these sources. But that’s not true! Several plant-based foods like pulses, beans, soy, lentils, and nuts are loaded with proteins and meet your daily needs if taken wisely. 


Going vegan promises weight loss 


Losing weight requires the science behind the diet. Whether it’s vegan or non-vegan, you always have to make the right choices in terms of what or what not you’re putting into your system. You can easily consume ample calories without having to eat animal products and blame that on a vegan diet. So no, a vegan diet never promises weight loss unless you know how to balance it out with healthy choices and a regular workout.


Vegan food is always healthy


This is another misconception that people have in mind about vegan food. As we said above, vegan food is only healthy when you are aware of the right choices like cutting down saturated fat and calories and practicing exercise. So, if you’re not making the right choices, vegan food can also make you unhealthy.


Vegans have fewer options


There’s no way a vegan diet is short of options. You have plenty of plant-based products with a huge variety in cereals, pulses, vegetables, green leafy, fruits, and beans. The list of alternatives to dairy milk is also huge including cashew milk, coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, hazelnut milk and so many more. 


Vegans have fewer options that offer B12 


Meat and poultry are good sources of vitamin B12 which helps produce energy in your body. Thus, people believe that striking out these food items from your diet will leave you with no options to B12 intake and make your body weak, which is not right. Vegan food also has a variety of food that includes tofu, soy milk, almond milk, cereals, and peanut butter and helps you take the right amount of B12 in your body.


Being vegan is expensive 


People popularly believe that a vegan diet is non-affordable as the food options are expensive. On the contrary, we’d say that you can shop for vegan items like vegetables, beans, cereals, and pulses at affordable prices. At Royal Kitchen, the gourmet Indian food includes vegan meals that are delicious and so much more affordable than non-veg meals. You just have to plan the right diet and you can build a healthy lifestyle out of it.
