You need to eat more as a vegan due to plant calories generally being lower in calories compared to animal products. And plant foods are cleaner sources of protein and healthy fats so your body will need more of this. Eat lots of grains, legumes, lentils, oats, avocados and fruit to get in enough calories.

Feel free to add me!

Hey if you need any advice or tips add me and I'd be happy to help!

I am predominantly raw HCLF vegan!

Hey add me I am also a HCLF Vegan!

I am a plant based vegan (meaning I avoid all fake meats/cheeses and other processed foods) I get protein from plants!

Nottinghamm!

she loooks fun!

that was for someone else sorry!

give him some aloe vera for that burn!

I use a digital scale to weigh everything out, I usually scan the packaging or if there isn't any, find the closest match through the search

1,386 calories is what I have to eat to lose 1lb a week, I currently don't do much exercise, I do hike about once a week that's it. That is obviously more than the 1200 I started on, do you all think i will have more success with this new amount?

Thankyou all for the advice! you all seem to be coming from the same point of view, I will recalculate my calories to lose 1lb a week and see what I get!

hinky?

3. Recalculate your goals if you haven't lately. As you lose weight your body requires fewer calories to run. Be sure you update your goals every ten pounds or so. .[/quote] Great advice! I was unaware of this, thank you!

I am 5 foot 10 and currently way 11 stone 5 pounds (not sure what that is in only pounds) I do use a digital food scale and weigh everything out I did do food prep when I first started, I think I need to go back to that

Ahhh Yes I have been assuming 2000 would be for maintenance, I didn't realise I should calculate my own amount, I'll defo do that thank you!

I know more exercise would help, but I feel like eating back my calories wouldn't help me lose

can I ask, have your tattoos changed in anyway since losing the weight? have they become distorted or anything like that? Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the tips, I don't think I could afford to not eat back the calories I don't want to go into starvation mode. Thank you Karen sound advice :)

Thankyou all for the advice :)

I've been doing that too! I log lunch and dinner and snacks in the morning then can se hat I've got left for dinner

Thanks for the advice :)

That is so true :) I do packed lunches now :)

Thanks for the tips :) I am very strict with my logging I don't eat anything unless it's logged accurately.

Thanks that was very informative! I do need to up my exercise. Do I update my goal by checking in my current weight?

thanks!

Check out Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead (can be watched on Netflix) It documents Joe's juice diet. It seemed to work for him. He recently did a follow up documentary called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead 2 which discusses other peoples success stories and how to maintain the weight loss. It's more than a weight loss tool.
