Any other WFPB eaters out there?

I did it once for a day.
No chocolate on this diet - forget that.2 -
I am about 70% of the time. Friday Saturday and Sunday evenings I eat with my husband and he won't switch to WFPB so we eat meat, processed foods and sweets. The whole evil spectrum. I started doing it about 2 months ago and am definitely far from perfect on it.0

My evening meal (not dinner!) is often vegan Just fruit, nuts and vegetables. Right now I'm having Packham pear, homemade almond butter, and cucumber.0

I am vegan and working hard on eating more whole foods more consistently. Feel free to send me a friend request!
I would say I eat whole foods about 80% of the time1 -
I'm an often highly processed, plant based dieter, can't really help... but good luck.2

Why couldn't someone have some chocolate while eating WFPB?0 -
I'm currently following Dr. McDougall's recommendations for a starch-based diet. Only in the past month have I been 100%, but I've been mostly there for about a year now. It's just nice to have a community of people with similar interests! For anyone looking for the healthiest way to eat I recommend researching Dr. Esselstyn & Dr. McDougall, but also Greger, Davis, Campbell, Barnard, and Ornish.6

I love WFPB! I'm still pretty new to it, but I have absolutely no complaints yet. It was an easy adjustment for me to make since I'm already a vegan and I did a pretty good job of avoiding processed foods anyway.
I just ordered the China Study and Rip Esselstyn's 2 books. I'm excited for those! I plan on adding so many recipes to my little WFPB cookbook!2 -
I've been a vegan and WFPB for almost 3 years now. I lost weight on it initially without exercising. More importantly, the diet (plus specific herbs/supplements) also helped me get over chronic Epstein Barr virus that I had had for 10 years! I feel great!
Today I logged onto Fitness Pal for the first time in a long time so that I can keep track of my calories and exercising. I need to shed 25 more lbs and get stronger. I turned 60 on April 10th and feel the pressure of needing to do this now!! I want to get strong enough so that I feel comfortable rollerblading this summer. I used to LOVE to rollerblade.

As far as I know, WFPB is eating things that are unaltered, at least unaltered before you cook them. So eating chocolate wouldn't fit since it's a processed food. If you weren't strict you could, but someone who eats exclusively WFPB probably wouldn't eat it.0 -

Isn't "Forks Over Knives" a WF diet? There are recipes with chocolate on that website. If you cut foods that have undergone any form of processing, you wind up with a very restricted diet.1 -
There's raw chocolate bars made with like 98.7% raw cacao, raw coconut butter, pink salt crystals, and like some turmeric to give it that fiery, artisanal flare.

I'm a level six vegan: I don't eat anything with a shadow. I also pocket mulch, which is exactly what it sounds like. Beat that!4

Tried this for 3 weeks Feb/March, felt tired and irritable all the time, quit. I did my best to make sure I had good nutrition with no processed food. I don't know why I felt so miserable.0

If you were not eating any processed food, it's possible that you were not getting sufficient calories. Or maybe you were not getting enough fat or protein?0
