You’re now plant-based curious or ready to start your transition, but that’s where you’re stuck. You don’t know how you’ll move away from a carnivore-style diet with meat-heavy mains, and wonder if this change is even DOABLE with a busy schedule working, taking care of the home, or looking after grandkids. You’ve tried to research online but find the flood of information and new plant-based terms overwhelming, and don’t know what’s credible. What’s really plant-based and what’s not?

Worried about getting weak bones and more fractures if you eat plant-based? After all, dairy products have long been promoted to be a good source of calcium. So, if you remove animal-based foods from your diet, that would mean taking away dairy products like cow’s milk, cheeses, and yogurts too. Where will you then get calcium on a plant-based diet, or would you need to rely on supplements?
If you want to find out, tune in. In this ‘Ask the Dietitian’ episode, we’ll look at the risks associated with taking calcium supplements, and whether calcium supplements are really needed if you eat plant-based for the long-term. Ready to dive into this topic with me? Let’s go!

Plant-based eating can feel like such a LONELY thing, especially if no one else in your family or social circle is making a similar change. In fact, this may be what’s stopping you from even wanting to start this new lifestyle– because of peer pressure or of having no one else doing the same thing in moving to a plant-based diet.
A lack of support is one of the key challenges I see many face in their plant-based diet transition. So where can you get more support as you start or continue your plant-based journey? In Part 2 of this topic focus, let’s talk about 3 MORE kinds of support you can get to help make your diet transition easier, smoother AND more enjoyable. Let’s jump in!
