Vegan trying to go low carbon.....help?

That's a tough ask.

There are ways to lower your carb intake as a vegan by relying primarily on tofu as your source of protein and eliminating starchy vegetable intake, but you have to ask yourself if this is sustainable for you. Unless you have a medical condition, there is no need to place an unnecessary restriction upon yourself. You're already eating a restricted diet. I'd also advise you that unless you're eating a vegan diet for ethical reasons? That's unnecessary too.

The main thing when losing weight is calorie control. If you eat less calories than you burn, you will lose weight.

Enter your stats into the web site, Select an option to lose half a pound a week. You'll get an appropriate amount of calories to eat. Get a food scale. Start weighing all solid foods and measuring all liquids. You'll lose weight.

To keep the weight off? Find out how many calories you need to eat to sustain your new weight, and try to keep your intake around that new weight. Switching back and forth between low carbing for weight loss and then back to how you used to eat will only result in you regaining weight unless you count your calories. Why change the foods you eat in the first place?

It is definitely more difficult to go low carb on a vegan diet, but you could always try eating more vegetables instead of fruits, low carb plant proteins (like hemp and pea), mushrooms, almonds, nut butters, seeds, avocados, seitan, tofu, lower carb beans (like soybeans and fava). I find substituting vegetables in recipes helps; squash or zuchinni in place of spaghetti, cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes or rice,...etc. Just keep in mind, some of these foods are very caloric, so weighing everything out is mandatory

Bahahaha. I thought you were like, trying to reduce greenhouse gas pollution or something. my bad.

lots of seeds, nuts, avocados, etc...

For a period of time, I ate a low carb vegan diet. But for me, "low carb" meant no highly processed carbs. Things like pop tarts and rice were off the menu, but I still ate a lot of carrots and beans. I ate beans all the flippin time. If I didn't, I felt too sluggish and moody. My body wants carbs, but I can make them as healthy as I possibly can.

Quorn products are low carb and vegan made with mushroom protein.
