One of the most common beliefs is that vegan people only survive on raw vegetables and fruits. A common reason behind the spread of such unauthentic information is social media and the ability of people to post anything without postulating it with proper facts and research. One must not believe any such piece of advice until and unless a proper nutritionist or medical professional approves it.

Here are some common myths related to veganism that one should stay away from.

* Protein Deficiency

One of the biggest concerns of people who want to turn into a vegan is not getting enough protein. There is a common notion that meat, especially chicken is one of the best sources of protein. Other conventional sources of protein include eggs and dairy products such as milk and Paneer.

Most people believe that there are not enough plant-based sources of protein and hence turning vegan may cause immense nutritional deficiency.

But there are plenty of plant-based sources of protein, including broccoli, brown, rice, lentils, pulses, seaweed, and mushrooms. One can easily fulfil their protein intake by simply consuming different plant-based sources of protein.
