Being vegetarian doesn't mean you will necessarily lose wight. Some people actually gain weight, due to their intake on carbs and nuts. So to avoid gaining weight/maintaining weight you have to limit the carbs and whole grains!!!

I grew up on a family farm. I ate everything. Loved dairy. Thought tons of protein (animal protein even) was NECESSARY. My sister watch Forks Over Knives and asked me to try watching it. My wife and I watched it and both have gone vegan. It's been 4 days. I am literally DEFLATING. That's a GREAT thing, by the way. All my clothes are getting looser. I feel so much more energy. I was so depressed before this I was having a hard time doing anything. I was going to quit college. I weighed 275 when I went vegan. I ate almost no meat compared to other people. The meat was not the problem, I think. I ate TONS of dairy. All the time. I am now down to about 260 pounds. I am literally deflating. It's awesome.

I was very overweight since the birth of my son 10 years ago. I would diet and then regain back my weight plus extra pounds. I was 186 at my heaviest and miserable. I stopped eating meat last Spring on my 47th birthday. I lost a few pounds and felt much better and happier. Last August a friend died of cancer and I decided to really change my diet for my health and have been eating a raw vegan diet since. It has been night and day in the effects that it has had on my health. I have lost all of my excess fat and am wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes for the first time in a decade. I am sleeping well at night, can concentrate better and have so much energy. I have been told that I look nothing like my driver's id pic and will probably change it soon. It's fun and exciting to wake up and look in the mirror and see the person who I used to be. I feel more like myself and am happier in general.I think that being a vegan is a personal choice of course but I would recommend it to anyone. I love food and eating and don't feel deprived at all.

I am a 34 yr old mother of 4. I have been struggling with weight loss for the past 6 years. At 190 pounds I decided it was time to try something new. All the pills and exercises in the world did nothing for weight loss other than a couple of pounds now and then which would come back immediately. So 5 months ago I decided to do a trial period of going vegan. To me, it was miraculous. In that month, I lost 20 pounds effortlessly. Went down 2 pant sizes and regained self confidence that I thought was lost forever. I only did It for 30 days, and have not gained back one pound. I have decided to go back though, the health benefits are undeniable. I still have high cholesterol and many more pounds to lose to be at a healthy weight. I too have been a dairy fiend for years. Hardest habit for me to break. Never really been a big meat fan, so that part is easy for me. I'm very excited to see and feel the benefits of this as a way of life instead of a "diet". One of my daughters, who is 10, has also done this with me. She has been suffering with mild weight issues for the past couple of years herself. She enjoys watching herself and mommy transform. Best of luck to you all. Enjoy a happy healthy life!
