Any diet that does not factor nutrition is going to fail you one way or the other. Vegans can gain weight if they don't watch their calories. Two days of our weekly meal plan is devoted to vegan/ vegetarian menus. Thses menus and all the other munus are low in carbs, low glycemic index, and so lowcalories. it would be wonderful if you will share your recipes etc. here for all in this forum. Thanks for the insight.Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:00:34 GMTLyndahttp://www.dietnomore.com/Forums/Topic89-10-1.aspxI've eaten vegetarian since I was 12-13 years old. I stopped eating pork, realized I didn't miss it, and then stepped every other meat out of my diet. For a few years I ate vegan, but I couldn't afford the real food I needed then to eat healthy vegan and my parents were nonsupportive. This resulted in me being severely deficient in my formative years, resulting in tooth loss and lower lumbar degenerative arthritis. <br><br>I only mention such a negative to make you all aware that if done incorrectly any diet will fail you. Now more than a decade later, I eat close to vegan, (excepting the occasional piece of cheese when eating out) always abstain from meat, fried foods, etc. I have tons of energy when I eat right, have had no major health problems stem from my diet since my younger days, and definitely support anyone who chooses to try this lifestyle. <br><br>I have great recipe combos, tips, etc...if anyone is new to vegetarianism please talk to me and I'd be happy to pass along my personal experience and advice!:DSun, 18 Oct 2009 13:05:41 GMTmymichelle237@gmail.com
