    I did it once for a day.
    No chocolate on this diet - forget that.

    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.

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

    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 time

    I'm an often highly processed, plant based dieter, can't really help... but good luck.

    Why couldn't someone have some chocolate while eating WFPB?

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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?
