Do Vegans Gain Weight

Does becoming a vegan help u to lose weight?

I became a vegetarian 4 months ago and I’ve gained weight cause I eat too much bread and pasta and cheese. I really need to lose weight. I have 2 friends who are vegans and they are skinny-perfect.My mom is a nutrionist and said that it can be bad for teens (I’m 17) to be vegan but she doesnt give me the time of day so Idk why that would be bad, she didn’t explain. Would going vegan help me?

Being vegan is a start to losing weight, but only if you eliminate all the meat without replacing the protein. In other words, if you cut out that 25% of your diet then naturally yes you would start losing weight. But anyway. You should be consuming high-fiber whole grain bread products anyways and maybe limit to 6 servings a day. Maybe you’re having too much fat, perhaps? Being vegetarian or vegan does not promise weight loss because junk food is still out there.
I can understand why your mother would say that being vegan might be bad for teens. We are still developing and especially us females need a hecka lot of iron. Eliminating red meat automatically sets this challenge for us. Just be sure to take multivitamins and iron pills. If you are going to go vegan, make sure you still eat fresh produce and whole grains and plenty of beans and legumes for healthy protein and iron. Be extra sure that you are still getting enough to fuel your body, however. Even healthy fats are essential. It has been shown that healthy fats found in nuts and avocados actually encourage weight loss.
