Question

After becoming a vegan did you lose alot of weight?

Answer 1

No I didn't; it isn't a weight loss programme and there are vegans of all shapes and sizes.

If you need to lose weight, the same old rules about healthy eating and exercise still apply

Answer 2

At first I lost a little, then I leveled out. Vegan doesn't always mean low cal, 'cause frying is vegan too.

Mmmm, friiieeed, lol!

Answer 3

after being vegan, i found that losing weight was easier. Like very little effort was required to lose the same weight as before. and I was able to tone up really easily too!

Answer 4

Hi.

I'm 14

I  was 11 stone when i was 12, i decided to become a vegetarian, and i ended up loosing 4 stone over a period of 1 year, another year on, i became vegan, I'm maintaining my weight now, as i don't need to loose any more anyway, its not about being vegan, it can help, but there are foods which are high in bad fats still. Its about what food you eat as a vegan, because if you eat vegan cheese on toast for breakfast, beans with vegan sausage and fried bread fo lunch and another high fattening food for dinner you wont loose weight, if you eat the right foods, you will.

Answer 5

I didn't lose any weight.  My weight stayed consistent.  I am a whole lot healthier though.  I have more energy and I am not hungry all the time.

You could lose weight if you want though.  I am not very active.  I know if I was more active I would lose weight.

Answer 6

no - there's a lot of food that you can eat to maintain your weight if you are concern with that... vegan does not mean just eating raw lettuce... there's many asian food that have delicious vegan options and there are many vegan chinese and indian restaurant throughout the city.

but I feel healthy and now has been proven by my DRs... so, I am please with my eating habits.

Answer 7

I lost about 20 pounds of flab when I went vegan. Becoming vegan doesn't guarantee weight loss, though. I have a vegan roommate who is quite overweight from eating lots of vegan junk food like soy ice cream, cookies, etc.
