    "How do you know when someone is a Vegan?"
    "Don't worry - they'll tell you!"
    Welcome; I'm vegan too!

    How is your diet to begin with? I'm vegan and have been for a long time. I'm also a bodybuilder and we do strange things with our diet for different purposes.

    I'm happy to talk with you about your diet, exercise or whatever you'd like... feel free to add me and shoot me any questions you might have. If I don't have an answer I'll help you find one that's real and based in science.

    What's not healthy? Being vegan does not mean that you are automatically eating at deficit. I've been vegan for a very long time and before I started bodybuilding, I was fat because I overate consistently. The way I lost weight was to corral my diet, swap what I was eating for healthier, more sustainable intake, and restricting my calories to a healthy deficit.

    Your statement is vague, offers no true insight and is extremely unhelpful. At least give us an explanation of why and what you think might be unhealthy so we can take that into consideration in any further discussion.

    I'm Vegan since Oct 2014 ;)

    Although, this isn't strictly correct; I eat a high carb, low fat plant-based diet (80/10/10).

    A Vegan, a Born Again and a CrossFitter walked into a bar.
    I only know this because they told everyone within two minutes.

    The ADA concluded years ago that a vegan diet is appropriate for people in all stages of life.

    I'm a brand new vegan myself! Today is actually day 3 for me. I tried it with a few cheats here and there but I'm in it to win it now! Add me :smiley:
