Speaking on Instagram, Lucy said: "For me, veganism is a promise I made to the animals, one I will never break," referring to the moment she watched a baby lamb get slaughtered on her family's farm when she was younger.
"In terms of my diet, I’ve made a conscious effort to eat less processed food and more whole foods.
"Also - protein. I made sure I got at least 60g a day, protein is the building blocks of life and essential to grow a baby. Very achievable to get everything you need on a vegan diet, you just need to make a conscious effort, such as with any diet, to meet all your nutritional needs."

The Made in Chelsea star then went on to discuss raising her newborn as a vegan.
"I’ve had many people along this journey tell me you need to give up the vegan diet, it's stopping you getting pregnant, etc," she explained.
"That is not the case, and for anyone dealing with the same doubts, I can assure you it is and can be a very healthy approach to pregnancy."
"There are people who are crack addicts who get pregnant," she continued. "Being vegan is not going to stop you. And yes, our baby will be vegan."
