If you turn Vegan, eating wise, & are strict (no cheating) about it, then you will eventually (if you started overweight-obese) will never be overweight-obese, for as long as maintain being a strict Vegan.
Now that I am eating a lot more processed, salted & sugary Vegan foods*,
*- Because revolution for the worst has happen in Vegan eating,
When I started it was not Capitalist popular as now, so it was not possible, 30-years ago.
I wonder if I was always wrong,
I have always been Vegan thin, genes & always active enough, that hard for me to become overweight-obese,
I leaning towards (with a lot more processed, salted & sugary Vegan foods introduced into one’s way of strictly eating Vegan) would NOT result in overweight-obese Vegans.
What do you readers think?
I am not saying being thin is being healthy enough,
I am a little worried as well. When I became Vegan 10 years ago, there was virtually no choice besides eating healthy, unless you fed yourself only French fries, I guess.
Now it’s increasingly easy to eat vegan junk food. While I think this makes stepping over easier for new Vegans, it also means some of the health benefits may not be as guaranteed as they used to be.
That said, Vegan junk food is still much better for your health than the non-vegan equivalent, even if no Vegan steak can ever be as good as just plain red beans, as an example.
It’s probably a good thing for Veganism adoption overall, but we must be careful to always present these foods as “transition tools”.
