The first week of March has been the National Week Without Meat and Dairy for years. A week in which everyone is encouraged to eat more plant-based foods. Starting in 2026, this week will be replaced by the "Wissel 'ns Wat!" campaign. This campaign will run not only during the first week of March, but all year-round.
Now the question is, of course: can you get enough protein without meat and dairy? The answer is YES! And you can definitely lose weight effectively when eating a plant-based diet. In this blog post, we'll explain how to do it smartly.
Effective and rich in protein
Initiatives like Wissel 'ns Wat! are the perfect opportunity to discover how delicious and healthy plant-based food can be. At NewFysic, we believe in conscious choices you can maintain. And that's simply possible when you eat a plant-based diet. So whether you eat a fully plant-based diet or only occasionally, at NewFysic we always have a suitable and tailored nutrition plan for you. We explore smart, high-protein alternatives that fit within an effective and sustainable weight-loss program.
High protein plant-based options include:
- Legumes, such as lentils, chickpeas and black beans
- Tofu and tempeh
- Soy yogurt or quark based on soy
- Nuts, seeds, and kernels. Consume in moderation due to their high calorie and fat content.
- Whole grains such as quinoa and oats
These products keep you feeling full, support your muscle mass, and help prevent cravings. Something that's essential for weight loss.😉
How do you replace meat and dairy in a smart way?
A good replacement is all about balance. By combining these plant-based alternatives with plenty of vegetables and whole grains, you'll stay full longer and maintain your weight loss. Think of a bowl with quinoa, roasted vegetables, and tempeh, or a breakfast with soy quark, fruit/whole grains, and nuts.
