The biggest myth of them all is that a 100% plant-based diet will leave you protein deficient. I’m here to inform you that this could not be further from he truth. You will easily get your daily requirements of protein by eating a varied plant-based diet. So, where does the protein come from? In short, the same places that any herbivore gets their protein (fun fact: the world’s largest land animals are all 100% plant-based: elephants, rhinos, hippos, gorillas, etc). Not only that, but plant based protein is much healthier than animal based proteins that actually cause disease and disorder. Oh, and that old adage that you need 1-2g of protein per pound of body weight is erroneous too!
