Dietician chops up plant-based diet exposing meaty nutritional flaws

The surge in popularity of plant-based diets is undeniable, fueled by social media influencers and embraced by many as a lifestyle choice.

However, Joel Bikman, co-founder of an innovative health and weight loss company, sheds light on three critical dangers associated with plant-based eating.

According to KSL, Bikman emphasises the importance of understanding potential pitfalls before fully embracing a plant-based diet. The first danger he highlights is the risk of poor-quality protein. 

While acknowledging the necessity of protein in human nutrition, Bikman points out that animal-based proteins are generally superior to plant-based counterparts in terms of completeness and absorption.

The second danger Bikman highlights is the presence of anti-nutrients in plant proteins, which can impede the digestion and utilisation of essential nutrients. He emphasises the need for diligence in supplementation for those on a strictly plant-based diet to avoid potential malnourishment.

The third danger Bikman addresses is the consumption of protein without dietary fat, stressing the significance of a balanced intake for muscle growth and overall health. He presents evidence supporting the benefits of a high-fat diet for brain health, gut health, and metabolic health.

Bikman introduces a solution to these challenges with a patented fermentation process, creating a plant-based protein blend that addresses the pitfalls associated with traditional plant proteins. This breakthrough aims to provide a more complete and easily digestible option for those seeking a plant-based lifestyle.

In response to the need for convenient and nutritionally complete meal options, Bikman and his team have developed HLTH Code Complete Meal, featuring a specially fermented plant protein blend. 

The meal shakes are designed to support healthy weight management, gut health, and brain health, offering a dairy-free, plant-based alternative for individuals seeking a well-rounded nutritional solution.

As the plant-based trend continues to gain traction, Bikman’s insights and the innovative HLTH Code Complete Meal provide valuable considerations for those exploring or embracing a plant-based diet.
