The Vegan Diet

The vegan diet is an entirely plant-based dietary pattern that excludes all animal-derived foods, including meat, poultry, fish, seafood, dairy products, eggs and honey.

 

It is based on a variety of plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, pulses, nuts, seeds and plant-based alternatives.

​

From an evidence-based nutritional perspective, a well-planned vegan diet can provide many of the nutrients required to support health and wellbeing. However, careful consideration is needed to ensure adequate intakes of key nutrients, particularly vitamin B12, iron, calcium, iodine, zinc, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids and protein.
