Navigate the challenges of a vegan diet
Whether you’re considering going vegan or have been plant-based for years, it’s no secret that the diet can be challenging. You might struggle with:
- Getting the right mix of nutrients
- Eating enough protein
- Knowing what to eat
- Making your favorite meals vegan
- Preventing or navigating nutritional deficiencies
- Feeling satisfied with your meals
Get the personalized support you need to succeed on a vegan diet
A vegan dietitian is the best support you can have to stay happy and healthy on a vegan diet. A dietitian can help you:
- Understand what vitamins and minerals to watch for
- Identify protein sources and your personal daily target amount
- Decide what supplements to take, if any
- Cook nourishing recipes you love
- Find ingredient replacements for non-vegan dishes
- Feel confident in your nutrition
Everyone's journey is different, so your dietitian works with you 1 on 1 to provide a hyper-personalized plan
Have you tried (seemingly) every diet out there with limited success? Trying to beat prediabetes holistically? Worn out from life and know your diet could be better but don’t know where to start? Your dietitian will assess all this and more to craft a completely personalized approach for your treatment based on your goals, lifestyle, health history, motivators, and more. Fay dietitians use clinically proven methods to drive results, including goal setting, intuitive eating, nutrition education, lifestyle counseling, lab testing, and meal planning.
The world of nutrition is overwhelming. There’s so much information out there – but how can you know what’s right for you? The reality is: nutrition is complex and requires an expert’s guidance. Registered dietitians are the only nutrition professionals qualified to offer medical nutrition therapy (MNT). That means RDNs have a deep understanding of the chemical properties of food and how that interacts with one’s body on a cellular level to impact overall health. Instead of stressing out over the latest food trend, put your care in the hands of a dietitian and find ease in knowing you’re getting personalized, research-backed nutrition advice.
Ready to break free from the harsh voice in your head criticizing your every food choice? Whether weight loss is part of your goals or not, your dietitian can help calm the noise with a research-backed approach that addresses both the practical challenges of daily meals and the psychological factors of disordered eating. You can learn ways to manage your health and weight that go beyond the confines of a traditional “diet” by prioritizing balance and finding the right nutrition approach for you personally.
Accountability is a crucial factor in making any lifestyle change. Having a set weekly meeting with your dietitian – and knowing you have an expert on your side – can make a world of difference when it comes to sticking to your nutrition goals. You’ll have regular check-ins where you go over your progress and any challenges you’re facing, and together, you and your dietitian will make adjustments to account for your evolving needs. RDNs know as well as anyone that a successful plan is one that fits into your life, not works against it.
You have to make a lot of decisions every day, including what to eat. Meal planning removes the headache of that decision, and when it’s done in partnership with your dietitian, it’s that much easier to meet your goals without exhausting yourself in the process. All the hard work of figuring out how much to eat and when is already done for you – you just need to stick to the plan. Your RDN can provide meal ideas and recipes too, which can help boost adherence and make following your plan simpler and more enjoyable.
No matter why you’re getting a dietitian’s expertise, intuitive eating principles can help almost anyone cultivate a healthier relationship with food. Using behavioral psychology, intuitive eating emphasizes getting in touch with your body to better understand hunger and fullness cues, identify emotional eating, and remove any shame or guilt that might come up. With this psychological approach, your dietitian can help you calm the “food noise” in your mind to cultivate a sense of empowerment and joy in eating once again.
Meeting your nutrition goals is about more than just the food you eat. Your daily routine – activity level, sleep schedule, stress levels, work life, and environment – has a huge impact on your overall health. Your dietitian will create your personalized plan based on these factors and more. Taking this approach makes your plan more realistic, which makes achieving your goals easier. It also allows your RD to identify any potential challenges and craft a plan to overcome them.
Food can play an important role in managing chronic health conditions, but you need an expert to guide you. Fay has dietitians specializing in diabetes, IBS, PCOS, thyroid health, obesity, and more. These providers can collaborate directly with your broader care team to ensure your nutrition plan is aligned with your ongoing treatments. Your RDN can do more than just make a meal plan based on your goals and condition – they can also educate you on the key factors of eating for that condition, empowering you to continue the care for yourself.
Health is foundational to wellbeing. Fay dietitians are qualified to support weight loss, hormonal imbalances, chronic disease, and much more. Collaborating with an RDN greatly increases your chances of success in meeting your goals. Whatever your nutrition goals are, you can find a board-certified registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in that area with Fay.
Food is intrinsically linked to our health and wellbeing. People who worked with a dietitian through Fay made lifestyle changes that had immense benefit to their physical health.
Making lifestyle changes surrounding food and nutrition had benefits that went beyond the physical. Food and our relationship with it, has far reaching implications on our emotional and mental health.
What to look for in a vegan nutritionist
Registered dietitian nutritionist credential
Not all nutritionists are created equal. “Registered dietitian nutritionist” (written as RD or RDN) is a protected title, meaning only those who meet the qualifications can use it. This includes a master's degree in nutrition, over 1,000 hours of experience, and more. “Nutritionist” is an unprotected title, which means that in many places, anyone can use it with no prerequisites. To ensure you are receiving the highest quality care, work with a registered dietitian.
Expertise in plant-based nutrition
A plant-based diet requires in-depth knowledge and know-how. Working with someone who specializes in this topic ensures you are getting great care from someone with plenty of experience. You can filter Fay providers by expertise to find someone who focuses on vegan nutrition.
Proven track record
Having the RDN qualification is important, but so is having a proven track record. Check that a provider has a solid background in plant-based nutrition and has plenty of happy clients to prove it. You can do this by looking through reviews.
Compassionate approach
Compassion is at the heart of veganism – the same should go for your dietitian. You should feel comfortable with your provider and feel a sense of trust as you place your dietary guidance in their hands. If it’s not a good match, you may not get the most out of the experience.
Fay’s qualified vegan nutritionists
Transparent experience
All Fay providers have transparent reviews available on their profiles. This enables you to get insight into their approach and background so you can feel confident about your choice.
Flexible meeting arrangements
Prefer to meet from the comfort of your own home? All Fay dietitians offer both virtual and in-person services. This can make scheduling easier and expands your options for a qualified provider beyond the geographic limits of your hometown.
Covered by health insurance
If you thought quality nutrition guidance was out of reach, think again. Fay works directly with health insurance providers to get your services covered. With Fay, you could pay as little as $0 per session.
The support you need to succeed
The key to a successful vegan diet is knowledge and know-how. Your Fay vegan nutritionist will provide creative recipes, education, and all the support you need to stay healthy and enjoy your meals.
The challenges of a vegan diet
Knowing what to eat
If you’ve recently gone vegan, you might be struggling with what to eat. What can you make to recreate your favorite dishes? How can you know you’re eating the right mix of foods to stay healthy? A dietitian can guide you through these challenges, empowering you to make healthy food choices every day.
Getting enough protein
Protein is at the top of most vegans’ minds, and for good reason. Plant-based protein is more complicated than animal protein and it can be difficult to navigate all the options. Should you eat tofu? Seitan? Beans? In what quantities? Your vegan nutritionist can give you protein guidelines and a grocery list to ensure you get enough protein in your diet.
Preventing nutritional deficiencies
Some people mistakenly think a vegan diet is inherently healthy. The truth is, any diet can be “unhealthy”; a diet is only “healthy” if it contains the proper mix of nutrients to support your body and lifestyle. Having guidance from a nutritionist to ensure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet is vital to prevent any nutritional deficiencies.
Recreating foods you love
Wondering how to bake without eggs? Recreate Thanksgiving dinner? Make a meal that will satisfy people of all diets? Your dietitian can provide plenty of tips and recipes on making your favorite foods vegan.
