If you are HERE on this site, you are more than likely want to lose weight. Some need to lose more than others. If you need to lose a considerable amount and you are vegan, you certainly have some possible health issues. Excess fat isn't healthy. Not for a vegan or a meat eater.
I gained all my excess weight eating meat during my childhood and teens. As everyone knows, adipose hyperplasia of childhood is notoriously difficult to control, so like most people here, I am working on improving my fitness and health. Your point?
I ate plenty of meat growing up and have none of thoe problems. I need ot lose weight because of the plant based foods I eat, not the red meat. What is YOUR point?
Just some advice to u, if you want to lose weight you should reduce your animal consumption and up the fruits and veggies...they wont make u fat, they will make u healthy. You can't argue that.
Fruits and veggies have caloric value. Because of that, they can allow weight gain if you eat enough of them. Lean meat as well as fruits and veggies have their own nutrient values important for healthy life.
Yes and calories are good when they come from nutrient dense sources.
There are foods that have better/worse nutrient values for the calories they contain, But eat too much and you will gain weight,0 -

Nothing, really. It's just that your statement that people are here to lose weight seemed obvious, so I didn't understand why you stated that at this point in the thread.
Because of all the vegans proclaiming how "healty" they are. Posting HERE. On a website desinged for weight loss. Being vegan does NOT mean health. Just means you don't eat meat. Nothing more, nothing less.
BTW. this thread has more replies than your thread. Nyah
It must take a really concerted effort to get overweight eating such a clean and perfect diet for so long...............peculiar.........I only know one vegetarian in real life and the individual is 100lbs overweight by opting to eat a tray of brownies for dinner instead of a nice piece of chicken parm............
Exactly,. Being vegan and living off Funions isn't exactly smart. Damn, now I want some Funions!0 -
Most of America's health problems are becasue we are country of fat, lazy slobs that don't exercise. Not necessarily what we eat. Europeans eat as bad or worse than we do, but they don't have nearly the health problems. Asians still smoke and drink their *kitten* off and again, not overweight nor do they have the instances of health problems. Hell they eat RAW MEAT
Sorry...it's 2 am here, and even vegetarians must sleep sometimes, so this is my last posting for the night.
You seemingly rejected the Harvard study today. But, you expect me to accept your vague cultural comparisons. I'm not even sure what you are trying to say.0 -

I don't care what you accept or reject. But I'm saddened by the fact that you are not going to post more tonight. I shall pour a 40oz of coke from my biggie sized Wendy's baconator meal and wait for your return bright and early tomorrow. Promise?0 -

Of course you can become overweight and be vegetarian. I never said you couldn't. Like I said in an earlier post, I could munch down endlessly on chickpeas. and I mean technically I could eat a plate of fries. It's all about choice.0 -

You are reading too much into it. Who said this place was for meat eaters only? BTW, my BMI DOES say I'm fat, yet I'm at 19% BF or less, BMI sucks. All my blood test parameters are well in the green. yet I'm here because I want to lose another 5 lbs.0 -
