Yeah, for me vegan doesn't necessarily correlate with weight loss. No matter what you're eating, it's still calories in vs. calories out. Whole plant foods can be less calorie dense and high in fiber, making fewer calories more nutrient dense and satisfying, which is no doubt a good thing. However there is no shortage of high calorie/nutrient poor vegan food available. I'm vegan for life for other reasons, and I certainly think keeping all that cholesterol, saturated fat, and animal protein out of my body is probably doing it some good. However, I'm living proof that you can get good and fat on vegan food!
