Tackling Vegan Myths and Misconceptions

VeGAINS Fitness & Nutrition

Ever wondered if vegans really just live on a diet of "rabbit food"? This week, we're plucking apart the misconceptions surrounding veganism. We'll also squash the protein deficiency scare, reassuring you that with a dash of insight and a sprinkle of planning, building muscle on a plant-based diet isn't just possible, it's been done by many vegan athletes.
Hold onto your aprons as we stir the pot on the quality of plant-based proteins, proving they're anything but incomplete. We serve up facts on how to create a well-rounded amino acid profile with mouthwatering vegan foods, and when essential amino acid supplements might come in handy.
