Vegetarian or vegan diets

Vegetarian or Vegan diets can be healthy; however they require careful planning to ensure you receive all the nutrients you require to prevent deficiencies, maintain immunity and optimal health.

Being a ‘vegetarian’ or ‘vegan’ is not as simple as ‘not eating meat’. The dietitian will conduct a full diet assessment and provide education about the quantities of vegetarian or vegan food groups required to maintain optimal health and prevent deficiencies. Sample meal plans and recipes may also be available.
