Vegan Weight Loss

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Whitty - I'll sign up there for sure.

 

And thanks for the encouragement. I'm a bit bummed by lack of weight loss - but no unhappy with where I am health-wise. And what originally led me to a Vegan diet was health - quickly joined by a distinct match with my values once I opened my eyes and learned more. So, for now my focus is on health and mindful eating and aligning my actions with my values. The weight will be released in time, I have to trust that!

I don't know if this will be helpful, but the VegFamily magazine is

starting up a vegan weight loss club, complete with website soon. You can get

on the pre-launch list at

http://www.vegfamily.com/health/vegan-weightloss-club.htm

and you'll get an invite when the website's finished (soon, they say). I signed up for the pre-launch invite, for what it's worth. It doesn't

look like there are fees involved and they promote that the group will provide

"support, motivation, and a program to follow" to encourage vegan

weight loss.

I've lost about 15 pounds since starting the vegan diet last August, so I

can relate to your "plateau" frustration. Sometimes your body just

hits a certain weight and is just stubborn about leaving it. Instead of

counting the pounds all the time, I find it more helpful to notice the little

things that are positive--like how my pants feel loose around the waistline now.

When I'm stuck on a plateau, I cheer myself up by telling myself that my

body is working on lowering cholesterol levels that day instead of pounds. Or

that my body must be adding muscle to compensate for the fat loss (muscle weighs

more than fat!)...whatever it takes not to get frustrated!
