Is plant-based nutrition the same thing as veganism?

No. Plant-based nutrition simply refers to a dietary strategy that focuses more on plant-based sources of nutrition – but it does not mean patients have to completely cut out animal products and proteins. Our team at Infinite Health Zone will listen to your concerns and preferences to help develop a plant-based nutrition program that is aligned with your lifestyle and goals while addressing your health and weight loss needs.

Will plant-based nutrition help me lose weight?

Many patients achieve and maintain their weight loss goals with the help of a plant-based nutrition plan. This is in part because they are eating lower-calorie, more nutrient-rich plant-based foods overall. Additionally, the added fiber in a plant-based nutrition plan can help patients feel full for longer after eating, meaning they often cut down on the amount and frequency of meals. Still, it is important for men and women considering plant-based nutrition to understand that it is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise. Plant-based nutrition best supports weight loss efforts when paired with healthy lifestyle choices overall and a dedicated fitness regimen.

How soon will I lose weight after starting a plant-based nutrition plan?

Most patients begin to notice an improvement in their energy levels and other areas of their life as soon as 1-2 weeks after starting a plant-based nutrition plan. How soon – and how quickly – patients lose weight with plant-based nutrition will vary based on a number of individual factors, including their starting weight, their lifestyle and level of physical activity, genetics, any underlying conditions they have or medications they may be taking, and others. Dr. A. and our team will work with you to create a realistic plan and goals that can help you achieve weight loss safely and sustainably.
