Nutrition Coach Dr. Ro Gives Us 10 Tips To “Lose The Final 15” And Clean Up Our Diets - Page 3
How Do You Get Protein When Changing Your Diet to Vegetarian or Vegan?
So in my diet, “Lose Your Final 15,” you get protein options. If you happen to be a vegetarian and you’re a lacto-ovo-vegetarian, meaning you can include milks and eggs, in my plan, I have low-fat dairy at the three phases of the plan. If you’re a vegan, instead of having fish, chicken, turkey, beef or other meats, you would then substitute your proteins with seeds, nuts and beans. Those are good protein sources. I also have something called black bean spaghetti, which gives you 25 grams of protein, 17 grams of fiber and only 12 grams of carbs in every serving, which I love. You’ll find black beans and other beans throughout this meal plan. But overall, it’s very easy to adapt if you happen to be vegan or vegetarian.
