'''A vegan diet''' excludes all animal products: no meat, poultry, or fish, and no eggs, dairy, or honey either. That total exclusion is what separates it from a [[Vegetarian diet|vegetarian diet]], which still allows eggs and dairy. This guide explains how it works and how to run it in mobieusHealth.

== What it is ==
Vegan eating is entirely plant-based. Every calorie comes from vegetables, fruit, grains, beans, nuts, seeds, and plant-based products. People choose it for health, animal welfare, or environmental reasons.
== How it works ==
A whole-food vegan diet is high in fiber and plant compounds and free of animal fat and cholesterol. Well-planned plant-based eating is linked to lower body weight, lower cholesterol, and lower risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.{{cite web|title=Diet Review: Vegetarianism and the Vegan Diet|url=https://nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/healthy-weight/diet-reviews/vegetarianism-the-vegan-diet/|website=Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health|access-date=2026-06-30}} Because no animal foods are included, a few nutrients need deliberate planning.
== Typical macro split ==
* Carbs: 50 to 60% of calories
* Protein: 12 to 20% of calories
* Fat: 25 to 35% of calories
== Foods to eat ==
* Vegetables and fruit
* Whole grains
* Beans, lentils, peas, and chickpeas
* Tofu, tempeh, and edamame
* Nuts, seeds, and their butters
* Fortified plant milks and B12-fortified foods
== Foods to limit or avoid ==
* All meat, poultry, and fish
* Eggs and dairy
* Honey
* Ultra-processed vegan junk food
== Who it suits and the benefits ==
Vegan eating suits you if you want a fully plant-based diet for health, ethics, or the environment.
* High fiber, no cholesterol
* Often lower in calories and saturated fat
* Linked to heart and metabolic benefits
== Cautions and considerations ==
* '''Vitamin B12''' is not reliably found in plant foods. Take a supplement or eat fortified foods.
* Plan for protein, iron, zinc, calcium, iodine, and omega-3s. Beans, soy, nuts, seeds, and fortified foods do the work.
* If you take a blood thinner, keep leafy-green (vitamin K) intake steady and watch your [[INR and blood thinners|INR]] with your clinician.
* Growing children, pregnant people, and anyone with a medical condition should plan a vegan diet with a clinician or dietitian.
