    I absolutely love vegan junk food. I love the burgers, the chick'n nuggets, veggie spring rolls - and of course chips, french fries and "normal" vegan junk food. When I first started to eat vegan I learned how to veganize my favorite baked goods...Took me a month of gaining weight to see that vegan chocolate cake and wine are still chocolate cake and wine (common sense yes, I know). I'm a bit more balanced now, but I can't cut it out completely - it's just too yummy!.

    It's possible to be overweight and vegan if you eat junk food and don't exercise. I'm still overweight by 10bs and I exercise like it's nobodies buisness. I admit it's difficult not to eat vegan junk food since I moved back in with my nonvegan family for the summer and they won't try most of what I cook. But I'm finding ways to cook enough for one or two people. My sister usually will eat any vegan meals I make.
