The Beet’s Plant-Based Diet Expert Tip 3: Supplement With Vitamins D3 and B12

This meal plan will provide you with a sufficient amount of nutrients, both macros and micros, which is awesome! Still, most people would benefit from taking both a vitamin D and vitamin B12, since those are harder to get from diet alone. Vitamin B12 helps boost metabolic function and aid in the body's ability to turn fatty acids into energy, so it can help you lose weight and naturally shed fat faster.

I recommend picking up a Vitamin D3 (1000 to 2000 IU) + a B12 (500-to 1000 mcg). These are two nutrients that you will most often have to supplement on any plant-based diet.
