A cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructor and experienced emergency medical technician, Kitty Doupe is a devoted member of the Grace Point Church and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Kitty Doupe also has a strong interest in vegan cooking and is in the process of transitioning to a vegan diet.
Safely switching to a plant-based vegan diet requires thoughtful meal planning and research. Otherwise, people may rely on an unbalanced diet which can lead to deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals. For example, vegans are prone to having low levels of vitamin B12, which can cause fatigue and dizziness.
To combat this, new vegans should collect and try out new plant-based recipes to ease the transition and ensure that each meal contains a variety of vegetables and fruits. To replace the animal proteins that the body needs, vegans should also consume high-protein foods, such as legumes and nuts. In some cases, nutritional supplements can help boost low vitamin levels.
