    I lost a lot of weight when I became vegetarian when I was 14, I think it was body adjusting. I wasn't counting calories.

    You don't have to be counting calories to eat less then you burn.
    For weight loss one must eat at a calorie deficit
    If you went vegetarian and lost weight, it was because you where at a calorie deficit. You ate less then you burned.
    Weight loss - calorie deficit

    There's actually a group on here who decided to eat only meat ( I have no idea what thread it was on ) they have lost weight. Because they where eating at a calorie deficit.

    The foods people decide to eat are totally up to them. ( what one person considers healthy is totally different then what the next person will consider healthy ) everyone is entitled to eat whatever food groups they want.
    The one thing that won't change is that they must eat at a calorie deficit for weight loss. Regardless of what foods they decide to eat or decide not to eat
    Picking a special diet doesn't guarantee weight loss . it comes down to the calories for weight loss

    I find it inspiring when I see people make a diet change that they enjoy and that naturally keeps them at a healthy weight. Go you!

    I could never do it though.... :lol:

    Hey two years ago I felt the same way but when certain death was in my face I make the change and once again am living with hope. I bet you just have not found the right motivation yet. Best of success in finding the motivation.

    Haters gonna hate.

    Congrats on your weight loss and for making the changes YOU felt you needed to make in order to be healthier.

    MFP: That magical place where a difference of opinion = hate.

    OP: Congrats on your weight loss. I could never do anything so extreme, especially not long term, but if you can, then good for you!

    Hehe, I have the motivation to eat healthier - just not as a vegetarian or vegan! :)

    Yes I understand. I went to Forks Over Knives forksoverknives.com/ some said they were doing. It was no meat and no cheese but per the marketing material it was working for some people. I do eat less meat than ever because LCHF limits on protein is less than I at for the first 63 years of my life for sure.

    My current thought the best Way Of Eating is the WOE that one likes and it brings about the desired health goals. :)

    I started to eat vegan few months ago and didn't lose a pound until I started to count calories.
    You did amazing job losing so much! Well done :smile:

    i personally have went full vegan for about 5 months now. vegetarian for about 3 years. i went from 395 pounds to 294 in a year by cutting back on fast foods and not eating any meat not even fish. i had to cleanse my body. i lost this weight not even excersing. just from cutting away sweets and meat and replacing it with veggies and fruit and soy. and gluten free stuff. once i started exercising at 294 pounds i lost 44 more pounds in about 5 months. i recently started going to the gym and lost 6 pounds in 9 days. its possible. any questions just let me know.

    congratulations!

    Yes, there's that nasty dihydrogen monoxide, which is in just about everything. And everyone who consumes it ends up dying.
