Question 1

could i be a bodybuilder with vegan diet plan?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Soy protein is your best friend. Vegans have the moral high ground though the health claims haven't found any real support scientifically and you MUST supplement -- and not just B12. I know a couple of vegan bodybuilders.

Question 2

please tell me what are some ways to get iron in a vegan diet plan?

Accepted Answer

Supplement: I know several vegans who do it for moral reasons and all of them supplement iron and several other nutrients. Despite a lot of disinformation, it is extremely difficult to get adequate iron on a diet than shuns all animal products.

Question 3

help please? i want to know what are some ways to get iron in a vegan diet plan?

Accepted Answer

It's difficult: You may be given deceptive information. Iron-rich spinach has it bound to phytates that make it impossible to absorb. Us government posters show beans, bread and peanut-butter as iron-rich -- they really aren't. You'll do well to supplement for iron, b12, and several others. Hopefully you have a good relationship with a physician who can make recommendations.

Question 6

how to have a balanced vegan diet?

Accepted Answer

A vegan diet is not: difficult to balance.  Just eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, nuts, &amp; seeds.  For more detailed information, check out drmcdougall.com and nutritionfacts.org.  Both cite lots of research on the benefits of a plant-based diet.  Nutritionfacts.org includes information on the effects of diet on numerous health issues.  Much of the concern about "balancing" proteins is unfounded.

Question 7

Depends: Eating lower on the food chain means less environmental toxicity in your food. But consider supplementation of b complex and methionine/taurine/choline.

Question 8

how do i get protein on a vegan diet?

Accepted Answer

Animal Fat & Protein: I encourage families to include animal fat and protein in their diet, as traditional societies around the world. A well-balanced (fat/protein/carbs) nutritionally packed vegan/vegetarian diet is possible, but less probable - especially for children. http://getrealforkids.com/resources/real-food/balanced-meals-snacks/1987-secrets-of-a-balanced-meal#.

Question 9

could a healthy vegan diet prevent flu and such?

Accepted Answer

The only real way: to prevent flu  is to get that year's flu shot. You may not get the flu, could get a milder case of the flu or a different strain of flu -even if vaccinated. The Flu shot is a great preventive measure. Healthy diet may still enhance immunity.
