Hi All,
I'm looking for some support in losing 70 pounds and I'm a vegan. I was curious if there are any vegans/vegetarians here. I'm grateful for all support, but connecting with some vegans/vegetarians would be nice too.
Not sure if you're still around. I'm plant based, watch the fat. I think that is the biggest problem. Never pour olive oil into the pan to sauté or toss veggies in before roasting ( get a misto for a slight mist of oo). I think those are a couple of placed I was wasting calories. I'm also staying away from any bread or cracker. Hope this helps, I hope you are still trying.
Vegan off and on for 20 years, on again since I started this weight loss journey (March/2014), and never going back as eating animals and animal products put me into health crises, caused my obesity, and is just ethically not how I feel.
I'm Lacto-vegetarian too! (However my diet is Indian and quite carb-rich although I prepare recipes almost without any fat in them and exercise portion control to consume less carbs...).
