After becoming vegetarian or vegan how long did it take..??

Question

to start feeling better and losing weight?

Answer 1

Well I've been vegan for 2 years & still haven't lost weight (mainly because I still eat loads of vegan chocolate and cakes etc)

I don't mean to put you off, just saying that vegetarian diets don't automatically mean you'll lose weight.

But, saying that, a vegetarian diet is healthier than an omnivore diet (in my opinion) because a lot of meat is so fatty.

Answer 2

veg*n does not equal weight loss.

Answer 3

I lost a lot of weight when becoming vegan after a few days, until i discovered the joy of vegan cake/muffins/cupcakes and dairy-free chocolate

Answer 4

I didnt concern myself with weight but i started feeling better within a couple days (physically, mentally most will feel better the moment they decide on taking up the lifestyle)

Answer 5

There's no reason to assume that you will lose weight at all.  Neither is a weight loss plan.  Weight loss require one thing: that you burn more calories than you consume.  If you eat the same number of calories as a veg*n that you did as a meat eater, and your activity level doesn't change, you won't lose weight.

I didn't start feeling better after either change because I never felt poorly to begin with.

Answer 6

uh i dont need to lose weight
