It’s time for another solo episode!!! I heard you loud and clear…apparently, you don’t mind listening to me talk into your ears all by myself so this week, I thought I would tackle some common slip ups on a plant-based diet. GASP! Yes, ANY eater can find themselves in a sticky situation sometimes, even folks on a plant-based diet.
As many of you know, I’ve been a dietitian for over a decade—and there are certain questions I get asked again and again, so I wanted to share the most common issues I see when folks go plant-based, why they happen … and most importantly, what to do about it. This episode is all about ADVICE on how to avoid those common pot holes, so I hope you enjoy it!
On this episode we chat about:

Why it’s important to openly acknowledge the trip-ups or issues people might come across when starting a plant-based diet (or any wellness shift for that matter!)
Why you’re craving sugar all of the time
A critical tip for the meat-to-plant transition: swap, don’t remove!
Why you can’t live on veggies alone
Why vitamin + mineral supplements still play a critical role (on ANY diet)
The importance of having an action plan (and tips for making one!)
Why the plate method is ACTUALLY revolutionary
The truth about hyper-processed foods vs whole foods
The importance of Vitamin D and B12 for plant-based folks! (And why diet can only do so much)
Why the “bioavailability” of certain foods should be taken into consideration when reading nutrition labels
Is a multivitamin essential to nutrition? I give your “community question” my answer!
