I've actually lost weight since becoming vegan and I mainly eat like spaghetti 🍝and rice 🍚and fruit of course🍓🍇🍉🍌🍒🍎🍊 and the rest is pretty much vegan junk food🍟🌮🌯🍪🍬. Apart from having fast metabolism i do feel like I've gotten slimmer! Perks of living a vegan lifestyle 👍🏼😃✨

I am 5.8 tall and I was 200po and now I am 186 I am losing weight on vegan lifestyle but can u tell if I am eating right Morning usually have big glass of smoothie and then for lunch I will have another cup of smoothie or usually forget having lunch and then I eat my dinner which is rice and beans usually made with oil but less amount and that would be it I eat my dinner before 5:00all the time so can u tell me am I eating good because when ever I am hungry then I eat but never anything junky.

it's hard for me to tell if you're eating "good" based on the amount of info I was given. several factors come in to play when determining this. it's good that you eat whenever you are hungry, however the one thing that stands out to me is that you are skipping lunch. never skip meals, it will slow down your metabolism and teach your body to store fat instead of burning it!

remember that anon that said "why do you call yourself half vegan?" hclf looks like half in the font of your blog title. i first thought it said half too... anyways have a nice day!

oh, I should probably fix that😂 thanks for letting me know, you too!

I recommend watching MommyTang on youtube she's good at helping you find easy vegan substitutes for ingredients and she has seriously good recipe videos on her channel she cooks Korean food

thanks!

I would like to become vegan, but I'm having trouble cutting animal products and dairy products out of my diet, do you have any advice?

the biggest thing you can do- educate yourself. sure, this can include the health benefits of veganism, but in my opinion the ethical aspects are what keep people vegan for the long run. otherwise, it's far too easy to slip up. if you are educated on the cruelty behind animal products, you will never crave them again. watch videos that expose the meat, egg, and dairy industries. keep short little clips of these on your phone, and if you ever feel tempted, watch those! I guarantee once you are properly educated on how cruel animal products are, your empathy will kick in, and you'll never look at animal products again.

hello! if I eat hclf (mostly fruits and veg), how much weight do you think I'll lose in a month. I've been an ethical vegan for a month, but not very healthy and have gained some weight due to the foods I've been eating. I figured this was the best way to go.

honestly, this depends based on the person, what your activity is like, what your eating habits were like before, etc. try to focus less on weight loss and more on eating and feeling the best you can. with that, weight loss will come naturally.

Hey! ☺️ Do you think if I eat HCLF about 80-90% of the time (simply because that's what I crave most often!) but still indulge in higher fat foods like peanut butter and vegan cheeses occasionally (particularly a few days before my period I always seem to crave fats) that it will harm my weight loss progress and/or my overall health?

no this is totally normal! no one is going to eat perfect 100% of the time. it’s good for your mental and physical health to indulge every once in a while.

Hey, I really want to go vegan and I've done a lot of research, but I have a soy/peanut/wheat allergy, so I'm struggling to find some vegan recipes that won't kill me (and was wondering if you knew some). Also, my family isn't very supportive of veganism, how can I convince them that it's a good choice to be vegan and that I'm not harming my health by becoming vegan?

sadly, I'm probably not the best person to help you with this, as I don't have any allergies that "restrict" my diet any further than veganism. however I do know that a lot of brands make foods that are free of all the common allergies, such as dr.lucy's and enjoylife. I would try looking into those, and try shopping more at health food stores such as trader joes, sprouts, and whole foods. as for your parents I had the same problem. just do your research! inform them of why you no longer with to consume animal products, and about how it's bad for both your health, and the animals. look into vegan doctors, who will be able to supply you with scientific research. read books such as the China study, 80/10/10, and watch documentaries like forks over knives. if you inform yourself sufficiently, you will be able to contradict any mainstream bs that comes your way!

Why do u call urself half vegan?

I don't?

[lowfatvegan]

Why are u vegan

because I don't want to contribute to the unnecessary torture and abuse of innocent animals.

Hey I am trying to go vegan but every time I try to have smoothie for lunch or some fruit I crave spicy food and then after a while I hit chipotle or something else with cheese and stuff but no meat and I know it's bad but can you tell that why I can't control my mind

if you're still craving food after you eat, especially if that food has animal products in it, it means you're not eating enough. you're reaching for higher fat animal products, because you're running low on fuel and your body is looking for a quick source of energy. it's really easy to under eat with fruit, so make sure you're eating a large quantity of it. for some people fruit just isn't satisfying enough. you can also try eating cooked vegan foods for lunch instead, and see how this affects you. finally, make sure you are thoroughly educated on the cruelty behind animal products. meat is an easy one to see, but dairy and eggs (although equally as cruel) aren't as transparent. once you fully understand the cruelty behind these products, you won't even think about wanting to eat them!

this is honestly the easiest, most delicious meal ever! all you have to do is boil some pasta. once it's done cooking, put it back into the pot, and add some marinara sauce, coconut milk, spices, and a TON of nutritional yeast. then let it sit for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens, and you're done!

Hey I am trying to go vegan I am already vegetarian. My question was that does fruit make you FAT because I am trying to lose weight and it's also good for the environment.i watch Greeley on YouTube she helped me a lot but also I wanted your tips too on weight loss and how should I eat because right now I am 200 pounds I seriously need your help.

just eat whole, plant foods! obviously the most important thing would be to make the jump to going vegan, this is going to help with weight loss so much! milk and eggs are definitely not weight loss friendly foods. it’s as simple as that. if you’re trying to lose weight, then I would recommend limiting the fats you eat, and make sure they’re coming from natural foods. after that you can slowly start incorporating fats back into your diet (in moderation of course)! just stick with whole plant foods: fruits, veggies, potatoes, pasta, rice, legumes, etc. and if you want some processed or vegan “junk” food every once in a while, that’s totally okay! there’s no need to be perfect!

Hi!! Can you please recommend a good tomato sauce for hclf vegan??(:

honestly, I just use a generic tomato sauce. however, I do like to dilute it down with chopped tomatoes, and veggies. if you want a low fat/low sodium sauce, trader joes has some great ones!
