Plant Foods Can Provide Us With All The Protein That We Need.

1. Understand Your Fitness Level - We all have images in our mind that we are Olympic athletes, however we all need to understand where our fitness levels are. If we are starting out then take it slow and be consistent, if we have been exercising for a while we can push some boundaries. Keep in mind it does not matter what diet you are on you will get sore muscles, this is your body saying that what you are doing is working.

2. Vegan BCAA’s - What the heck is BCAA…. This stand for Branch Chain Amino Acids and are commonly taken in order to boost muscle growth and enhance exercise performance. These can be brought at most nutrition sites and can help with weight loss and reduce fatigue after exercising.

3. Water, Water and did I say water.. - I know this sounds so silly, however as the body is made up of almost 60% water it is evident we need to consume more water when we are exercising. Make sure you check out how much water you need for your body weight and type.

4. Cut The Crap - Just because someone is on a Vegan does does not automatically mean they have a healthy diet. It is still easy to rack up those calories and not hit your goals and ultimately put on weight. Most products these days have alternatives, so make sure the Almond milk you have as an example is low in calories. Always remember calories in Vs calories used will determine your fitness and weight.

5. Maximum Protein Intake (most important) - There are a million studies out there explaining how many grams of protein you need a day, but let me keep it simple. Protein is essential in your diet especially when you are exercising, it is the building block for energy, enzymes, muscles, skin and blood.
