- shlant 6y agowhat does "by default" and "typically" mean?
- im3w1l 6y agoThat if you just start eating vegan stuff without doing a lot of research you will do it wrong.
- shlant 6y agoI think "a lot of research" is not actually accurate. Eat a varied diet with enough calories, make sure you are getting enough b12 from either supplementation or in fortified foods and when in doubt use a nutrition tracker like Cronometer. I would give almost the same advice to anyone about their diet (except maybe the opposite with caloric intake).
- im3w1l 6y agoThere's also iron deficiency, especially for women. And omega-3. And making sure you get enough "complete protein" i.e. enough of all the essential amino acids. Anyway, it's a statistical fact that a lot of vegans are deficient.
- jackbrookes 6y agoSame as a typical western diet then?
