Debunking the MYTHS of veganism! All vegetarians/vegans get asked "how do you get your protein?" Non veg heads believe we need to eat meat to get protein but there are LOTS of vegetables, beans, nuts/seeds & variations like tofu, tempeh & seitan for protein. "Its too expensive to eat vegan." There are countless resources to save money shopping like, coupons, club savings cards or buying only on sale produce. Grow you own if you can & thrive in the moments from seed to sprout, plant to harvest time. "I will feel deprived or left out" is not the case at all. If you feel sorry for yourself & can't think of different ways to enjoy this new lifestyle, search google. Even the images are inspiring! "Your workouts will suffer" is another myth. The worlds strongest man & the Olympic gold medal winners would disagree. The marathon runner & NFL defense player will also prove otherwise. We do NOT need milk for strong bones, that's just commercialism. We DO need calcium, Vitamin D & protein for bone health. All of these can be found in a variety of vegetables or fortified foods!

We discussed reading tricky food labels & trying to decipher ingredients when the government approves changing terms like GMO to Bio Fortified. High fructose corns syrup to corn sugars or fructose.

Lastly we talked about positive tips for new vegans & some negative ones like gas & poop! lol.

Stay healthy, stay strong. Thanks for listening to Beetz By Jennz
