---|

If you¡¯re looking to lose a few pounds, it¡¯s likely you¡¯ve put some thought into making the switch to a vegan diet. There are thousands of accounts of people dropping meat from their diets and losing large amounts of weight, so why not give it a shot? For those who aren¡¯t in the know, a vegan diet is one where all forms of animal products are eliminated from consumption. It¡¯s not just beef that is cut out, but also fish, poultry, eggs, dairy, and even honey! Due to this, a vegan diet can appear to be quite restrictive in comparison to other diets. In order to give yourself the best chance at succeeding with weight loss while on a vegan diet, it is best to not look at it as restrictive. Most fad diets fail because the dieter only looks at it as just that, a temporary diet that they¡¯re going to stick with till they lose a few pounds. After weight loss occurs, then what? It¡¯s best to look at the vegan diet, as well as any other diet, as a lifestyle change and a decision you plan to stick with for the long haul. A vegan diet is more than just a set of rules to help lose weight for most practitioners, it is a choice made based on reasons of health and ethics. Pros of a Vegan Diet
Cons of a Vegan Diet
Focus On Green Veggies When following a vegan diet to lose weight, try to focus on making the bulk of your meals cruciferous and leafy green vegetables. These types of vegetables are best for weight loss because they¡¯re extremely low in calories and high in satiating fiber. They¡¯re among the most nutrient-dense of food options and really offer the best bang for your buck when it comes to vegetables and food in general. Watch Your Protein Intake If you¡¯re not careful with what you¡¯re eating while following a vegan diet, it is very possible that you can become protein deficient. Adequate protein consumption helps to keep you fuller for longer and well make your diet much more bearable. Protein consumption is easy to overlook while following a vegan diet due to the focus on vegetables. You might think that since you¡¯re not supposed to eat meat then protein must not be important, but then you¡¯d be wrong! Make sure to include some higher protein vegan foods such as tofu, tempeh, seitan, and legumes to make sure you¡¯re getting a decent amount of protein. Conclusion Following a vegan diet can be a great way to shed a few pounds. With proper care taken to ensure adequate protein, vitamin, and mineral consumption the vegan diet is one of the healthiest diets you could follow! |
