My Vegan Weight Loss

This may not be your traditional "my fitness pal" story, because many Fad Vegan diets do not revolve around counting calories which makes them more appealing to many. You may find this article inspiring!
I was married last June of 2013 and on my wedding day weighed about 199 pounds standing 5 9.5". I kept telling my fiancé that I didn't want her to marry me for my body, so once we got married I'd shed the weight . Keep in mind that weight was 20 lbs over my goal weight of 170. As for anyone who has ever been happily married you pry know it did not work out that way. We drank wine cooked more at home and learned how to fry things, bake things and this was all based around saving money! But the weight stacked up. I stood tall on the scale this past December and saw 207 and freaked! It had only been 6 months and I was up 7 lbs... I started doing the math. If I keep it up that's 14 pounds a year by the time I was 30 id weigh in close to 300 lbs. That was not an option, so what did I do? Restricted calories. I downloaded this app and cut so many calories I got to 202 in 2 weeks and stopped! Hello plateau! And stayed there. Anytime I are anything enjoyable I gained. And eventually gave up. I moved in January and lost motivation. That is until last month. I woke up at 6:30 scrubbed my teeth and looked in the mirror walked back in the room and said to my wife "we have to change" she agreed. We started learning about food and meat and dairy (80%) of our diet. I watched some Vegan home made weight loss videos and was convinced. We threw out anything non-Vegan and stocked up on groceries that were healthy. We got a gym membership and I still counted calories. However, I was eating constantly but because 70% of what I ate was raw I couldn't reach my 1200 calorie net goal. I would hit 1300 and work out and be at 900... The weight was falling off. It has now been 6 weeks and I weigh 190lbs... Not to bad 20lbs in 2 weeks and I'm eating like a maniac... And when I do slip and eat a Vegan cup cake or drink a glass of wine. I do not put on a pound. I'm 20 pounds from my goal weight, and this feels good. Veganism makes so much sense. If you drink milk from a cow that's suppose to make a baby calf turn into a huge cow. Guess what? You'll be a cow! Almond milk is way better! And meat... Mans source of protein? Why do we have to cook it then? If we are Carnivores then why are we cooking the meat? It takes 72 hours to digest. If you left meat on the counter for 72 hours what would happen to it? It would spoil. Oh I forgot we have a refrigerator in our stomachs... Not. Meat and fat slow down your metabolism and make digestion harder. Trust me I poop 5 times a day pleasantly. Keep in mind there are un healthy Vegans but they are not paying attention to what they are eating. Because they do it for ethical reasons which is great. But you'll still be fat!
