    Yes. But its just as easy to eat over your calories as it is every other way of eating.

    Yes there are loads of people eating vegan on here! Some for weight loss, though most for ethical reasons. If you scroll through the groups page you will find a bunch of groups in which you can find a lot of information and support.

    I avoid meat, dairy and eggs 97% of the time, so if thats good enough for you, feel free to add me! I log every day and am happy to help motivate you if you think you need it :)

    Hi. I'm vegan most of the year (not all). Ethical reasons.

    I find it hard if you are counting calories. The only thing that makes me feel full is carbs and the calories add up very quickly

    Feel free to add me.

    I'm meat-free and dairy-free, although I still eat eggs. More for ethical reasons than weight-loss reasons. Just look at all the vegan dessert recipes on pinterest, there's still plenty of chance to gain weight even on a plant-based diet!

    You're welcome to add me if you like :)

    Going vegan won't help you lose weight unless you watch calories like with any other type of eating.

    I'm vegan -- we lose weight the same way anyone else does, through a caloric deficit.

    Veganism is an ethical choice, not a dietary one. In any case, you won't get special weight loss powers simply because you aren't eating animal products.
