Do you hear of people who lose weight while on a strictly Vegan diet?

I'm living proof....I have stopped eating meat and many dairy products for the past 4-5 months and have dropped almost 50 pounds.

One of my really good friends did. She lost a ton of weight and now she looks great... it's not for everyone though. Some people need the certain protiens that come from animals. It all depends on the person.

It can happen. Meat and dairy products have a lot of fat in them. I am currently on the WW's plan, and while I do eat meat, alot of the recipes call for meat substitutes or dairy subsitutes to help curb the fat.

yes big example is myself.......i lost 6 pounds in one week

It is a fact that most vegans and vegetarians don't know how to do it correctly. As a result, a huge proportion of them are anaemic (lack of iron) which makes them look terrible and pale.

The cold, hard, fact is that veganism is stupid. Cows aren't injured when they are milked. In fact, if they weren't milked it would cause them discomfort (I lived on a dairy farm as a child, I know this for a FACT). Chickens aren't injured when they lay eggs, etc...

I detest animal cruelty, but is getting shot with a stun-gun worse than getting torn apart by a lion?

I say let the vegans lose weight. We can live without them and their bleeding hearts.
