WOW. So many vegans, vegetarians, and WFPB people!! I had just started the Whole Foods deal, then got diverted by colon operation, and now back in it. I mean the SAD diet probably caused my colon issues so on to health!!
Anyone having success losing weight with vegan or WFPB? There are many theories - Dr Furhman is more vegetables, little starch - Campbell &Esselton are whole grains but no oils - Dr Gregor is beans, whole grains and the healthy 12 foods the daily dozen. Which do you follow? I’m trying to avoid all processed foods and cut back on oils. SLOW weight loss and still in recovery mode so can’t tell if feeling better yet. Drs and nurses kept pushing Protein protein.
Dinner is difficult but got done ideas from people here. Keeping it simple.
Back in 2015, I lost 40+ pounds as a vegan and have been maintaining it ever since. I didn't add any additional restrictions to veganism -- I think in some cases these restrictions make it harder for vegans to meet their nutritional needs and I'm not convinced they are necessary to maintain good health. Before I began counting calories I did try Furhman's plan. My personal experience: a low fat diet was not a good fit for me, I struggled with hunger, cravings, and low energy. Fortunately for me, I can eat plenty of vegetables, grains, and beans without following any specific plan.
I just count calories and it works really well for me.5 -

WFPB here I'm working on being stricter - it can be really hard to eat well when also having a social life & work - so more friends for inspiration and support the better!1
