5 Benefits of a Vegan Diet and Why You Need to Try it!

Food and lifestyle trends tend to run hand in hand, and one of this year’s BIGGEST trends (other than general health and wellness) is plant-based diets. Whether you’re looking to promote weight management, save the environment, lighten the cost of your grocery bill, or attempt clean eating- we’ve got a breakdown of the benefits and reasons why going vegan is here to stay!

1. Promote weight management:

Studies show an increased number of people are trying plant-based diets in the hopes of losing weight. A plant based diet has been linked to more effective weight loss than vegetarian, standard, and paleo based diets. This is because many meats are high in fat and calories, so when those are replaced with low calorie plants, it can help with weight management. This is a huge reason why our Flat Tummy Vegan Meal Replacement Shakes are so versatile, they’re 20g of plant based protein and are vegan!

2. Richer in certain nutrients:

Switching to a plant-based diet means replacing meat and animal products with whole foods like grains, seeds, fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans etc. When swapping one for the other, generally it’ll mean a higher daily intake of nutrients. One thing to be cautious of is making sure you’re getting enough fatty acids, vitamin B12, iron, and calcium. Following a meal plan like the one from Flat Tummy App to start you off + taking a Multivitamin should help keep you on track.

3. General lifestyle improvements:

A plant-based diet like the one from Flat Tummy App could help boost your beauty routine by helping your skin get healthy, and glowing. Studies link dairy to skin problems like acne due to the hormones, so cutting that out of your diet could help give your skin a boost. Plant-based diets have also been linked to reduce risk of heart problems, diabetes, and improved mood. If you’re planning on trying a clean-eating detox, we def recommend including our Flat Tummy Tea with green tea. It’s a 2 step detox with 100% all natural hand-picked ingredients. The Flat Tummy Reviews don’t lie, we have over 14K+ Flat tummy Tea reviews and are rated 4.7 / 5 stars.

4. Better for your digestive health:

Fiber is one of the key nutrients in a vegan diet that help you feel full and keep you regular (if you know what we mean). Clean eating can help with digestive health and give your body the boost it needs. Paired with our Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies which aid in supporting gut health, help improve energy, boost complexion, and support weight management* you should be living your best self in no time!

5. Better for the environment:

Vegan diets tend to go further than just what you eat, and more so the lifestyle. This could include clothing, beauty products, cleaning products, soaps, makeup, etc. People also choose to live a vegan lifestyle because it’s more sustainable. It adds less stress on our environment, and is a more efficient way to use our natural resources.
