Vegan or raw diet

  • So I'm doing weight watchers and just in my second week. I have always wanted to follow a vegan or raw diet. Is there anyone on WW that follows either diet? And is it really hard to switch over and follow? I'm just concerned with protein and getting enough of it? Any advice or tips?
  • WW can be used for just about any dietary restrictions or food choices as it really just calculates intake. And as long as you food is within the intake limits it can work.

    I've known a number of vegetarians who've followed the plan, and I occasionally see a vegan or two mention that they're using WW on 3FC. If you're interested in changing gears and moving over to Vegan then there's also a Veg/Vegan section on 3FC where people might have some nutritional advice.

    I do know that there are plenty of non-animal foods that still contain protein like beans and other legumes. Some grains, corn, peas. And then, all manner of nuts. Oh. And Tofu.
  • Beans/legumes are AWESOME if you need protein. Put them in salsa, salads or make them as a dip, though I'm not sure if these are vegan/raw friendly. It might be a little difficult at first but should be easier once you get the hang of it.
