You have started wondering "is this actually enough"? What does 100% protein and iron look like in a day on a plant-based diet? Let's find out if they are actually prepared to do (eat) what it takes.
Button below takes you to extracts from the book as an example of what you need to eat to get 100% protein and 100% iron in a day. If you can eat this, then you can absolutely do this.👌If on the other hand you work out that you aren't ready for chickpeas and tofu yet, that's okay too! Think of this as a successful experiment. You now know what a healthy plant-based diet looks like and have made an informed decision about whether it's right for you.

The goal isn't dependence on a plan. It's confidence and independence... for both of you.
The Teenager: I am so excited with this book. I know my Mum really doesn't know what to cook for me and I don't really know what I should be eating either... I know I don't want to eat meat anymore and I know I have felt really tired sometimes... these recipes look really yummy and I know they will be good for me and help me feel better and make my Mum happy too.

Google rabbit hole? If you've Googled "vegan iron sources" at 11pm - you're not alone. Most parents in this position have. Google gives you a lot of information. Same with TikTok, Social Media, Tracking apps, meal plans etc. What they don't give you is clarity.
The problem isn't eating only plants. The problem is that you've been handed information without ever being taught the rules that make it useful.
The Mum: I had no clue what food my daughter needed and more importantly was missing out on to achieve and maintain a healthy being. I sought help from a dietitian, my GP, ANYONE that could assist... and noone really had the exact answers I was after for a teenager, until now, until this amazing book.

Your teenager has already decided they want to be vegan.
The only question is whether they'll learn how to do it properly.
