Hi! My names Allie and I'm 18 years old. I became a vegetarian over three years ago. Since then I have gained a lot of weight. I am now attempting to loose it and become healthier!

    Welcome Allie! I'm transitioning back to veganism currently. I really like MFP so far :) it keeps me aware of my calorie intake so it's easier for me to make choices . Feel free to add me !!

    I've been a vegan for several years. In the beginning, I was so worried about getting enough to eat that I built a diet with too many carbs/not enough nutrients. Now that I'm at the low end of obese, I'm trying to cut carbs and increase nutrients so that I can lose some of this weight. Feel free to add if you want.

    Good luck!

    Are you octo laco veg? Ive been a vegetarian for 20 years, best way i found to find a middle ground is look at other cultures that are predominantly vegetarian and take a look at the balance of their meals.

    I watch my macros, its hard to stay under 50% carbs, but it doable. Pintrest is a great place for balanced lower carb vegetarian recipes too. Helps to mix it up when you just cant take another bite of cottage cheese, but you need protein.

    Good luck!
