foods on a vegan diet are beans, lentils, tempeh, tofu, nuts, and seeds. In addition, some popular dishes such as burritos, burgers, pizza, smoothies, sandwiches and pasta dishes can easily be adjusted.
Some meat-based dishes can be substituted with beans, lentils, and tofu for example. Dairy products can be replaced with plant milk. Eggs can be substituted with tofu. Honey can be substituted with molasses, maple or rice syrups.
Both diets are considered healthy for all stages of life provided that the meals are well planned. Both should consider taking supplements to make up for certain nutrient deficiencies. To sum up, a vegan diet may be better for controlling weight and reducing the risk of certain diseases but both are healthy.
