People are more aware of the health benefits of increasing fruit and veggie intake now more than ever. So, does this mean that eliminating animal products altogether is the healthiest dietary decision to make? For those who are considering going vegan, I as a registered dietitian suggest taking these 5 things into account first.

Meal planning stresses you out or takes too much time. Vegetarian and vegan diets require more planning as nutrients like complete proteins, iron, and vitamin B-12 are more optimally obtained from omnivorous diets. Without proper planning, you put yourself at risk of missing out on important nutrition. You may also have trouble getting in a lot of calories which can be an issue for those who are very physically active.
