I remember always being stressed about weight loss. I wanted to lose weight more than anything in the entire world. I needed to lose about 30 pounds at one point and it was depressing. I tried starving myself. I took several different diet pills. I thought I had tried every thing possible to lose weight. But I was wrong.
My problem wasn’t about weight loss. It turns out I was worrying about the wrong thing! When I first went vegetarian (and later on vegan) I wasn’t thinking about losing weight at all. I was worried about my health. I was getting break outs on my face, I always felt tired and it seemed like every day I had a new pain.
Have you ever been there before?
Weight Loss vs Health
A friend and my sister convinced me to give up meat so I went vegetarian. In just a couple of days I started feeling amazing. A year later I went vegan and began to feel even more amazing. During all of that I never once thought about my weight! I was just trying to eat as many delicious vegan foods as possible. And during all of that something amazing happened.
I lost 60 pounds without even thinking about it. I wasn’t doing an exercise program. I wasn’t doing any crazy diet. I was just eating healthy and loving it. In fact I have been eating more food than I ever thought possible! And the weight continues to come off. So many people ask me how I did it? I wrote a book that details exactly how I eat tons of delicious vegan food and lost 60 pounds without even trying!

I’ve lost over 60 lbs now since I first went vegan about a year ago, and that’s without actively trying just yet… Like I haven’t watched my portions, or cut down on processed foods (as long as they’re vegan), or exercised. (I know, I know, I’m working on it.)
Liked the article but there is only 1 picture

I started out at 340 and I am down 98 pounds! I feel amazing. I still have 100 more to go and I know it’s due to my lifestyle changes. Vegan is more than a diet to me.
Wonderful and inspiring article! I was a huge calorie counter and always had issues losing weight in the past, even 5 to 10 pounds. Since going vegan last year for ethical reasons, I’ve lost 25 pounds. I don’t count calories because I’m always filling myself with healthy plant-based meals. I never imagined going vegan would have such a positive impact on my physical health.

43 lbs slid off when I became vegan and I really didn’t work that hard.
I was vegetarian for 10 years and went #Vegan this year. I can’t wait for the weight to fall off! I mean, I love myself with my curves but for once in my life I would like to see myself as the most perfect form of what I should be and only living a cruelty-free life can do that for me 🙂 #GoVeg

I’m so happy for all of you that lost some pounds !! I’m just a little disappointed that I did not loose any .
A whole foods plant based vegan lifestyle will make you shed pounds and you’ll be very healthy. Remember a vegan can be unhealthy. Oreos are vegan.
Good for you Heather. I have been a vegetarian for 27 years. I am 59 years old and still weigh between 100lbs – 105lbs, my high school weight. I would like to be a vegan, but I cannot seem to give up cheese!
Wow! Awesome job heather! Saving herself and defenseless sweet animals!
I won’t care either.
So many reasons to eat right. Empathy, health,environmental effects,mind body spirit etc 🙂
Me next me next! That’s amazing. Best part of being vegan is being able to eat what I want when I want and still losing weight!!!
I went 100% cold turkey plant based in June. My A1c dropped almost 2 full points in 4 months and I only lost 10#. Here I sit 9 months in and it’s a bit of a different story. The great results stopped. Thank you for the encouraging stories it helps.. I’m still hoping to become one of them.
Went vegan, got healthy and preggy. 2 years later I’m on my way back.
Had a similar transformation!!! Vegan is fantastic!
amazing transformation!
Nicely done Heather!!
What an inspiring read!!
Yep, same thing happened to me. I was just trying to be gentler to the planet and I lost about 55 lbs without even trying. Double score!
Speechless…..
250 down to 150 vegetarian for 2 years 😀
I’ve lost about 65 since last year 🙂
I applaud anyone who makes healthy life choices, but it makes me uncomfortable to see these before/after type images used to promote an agenda like this. It suggests a bad/good stereotype that is too prevalent in our society. People can be healthy and still be different shapes.
I start out doing well, then I fall off the wagon and cheat. I stress over meal plans and psych myself out. I want to totally change but somehow I sabotage myself every time. Im trying again this year and I hope I can totally make the necessary change!

This links to a site that tried to install a virus on my computer. What bullshit.
WOW this is awesome!!
Its not from being Vegan, its from not eating as many calories and exercising.
People loss weight on the Paleo diet, so do you recommend that too?
Kay Tommie
Good for her!??
I love it! I’ve lost 12 in the 2 weeks I’ve been vegan. It’s so awesome!
Veganism isn’t about weight loss. I’m a fat vegan. I love myself.
Oh wow
How fantastic for her
I think it would also be cool to put how many pounds of meat she didn’t eat and number of animals she saved doing this….being vegan is about the animals after all. A bowl of sugar is vegan….
Branden Quednau!
Congrats! Amazing!!! 🙂
I love me some pork chops and steak! Yum!

Hey everyone! I’ve been a very health conscious person, eating raw organic vegan foods for quite awhile now.I thought I would post around here with my fellow health conscious individuals and raise some awareness on an amazing tree that doesn’t get nearly enough recognition. On my quest for better health I’ve come across a ton of great nutritious eats, but there is one that takes an honored place above all else. Moringa Oleifera! This plant is absolutely amazing it has: 25x more Iron than Spinach, 0.75x more Vitamin C than Oranges, 15x More potassium than Bananas, 4x more protein than eggs, 17x more calcium than milk, 10x more vitamin A than carrots… And this is just the tip of the iceberg! So Upon discovering this I went looking for the best Moringa products on the market, and my quest came to an end with Zija International. There are a lot of reasons I find this one is the best, but Ill sum it up with after taking this Moringa for some consecutive weeks, I’ve never felt better in my life! The great thing is Not only has zija helped peak my nutrition, but it has also given me the opportunity to make money by sharing this information with other people! Now I am job optional, and making tons of extra cash doing what I love, helping others improve their lives! Anyway I felt I would like to share this opportunity with my health conscious brothers and sisters! Check out the web page I dedicated to helping you become financially free while greatly improving your health! While you’re there leave your contact and we’ll get you started on your journey. Thanks guys much love! 🙂 moringamastery.weebly.com
Wow she looks so amazing I’m trying to become a vegan myself if it helped her to lose weight then maybe it can help me to I’m super fat
Everyone has their own reason for being vegan. Some do it for health some do for ethical reasons, and some do it for both. If you are eating vegan you are already making a good ethical choice whether or not you mean for it to be.

That’s awesome!
I gained 60 pounds going vegan, being vegan has nothing to do with weight loss it’s what u eat regardless of whether ur vegan or not
Lucky and kudos to her! I didn’t loose anything when became vegan, but I didnt do it for diet reasons.
If you eat a lot of sweets, fat, and breads you will be fatter. The trick is to eat healthy vegan foods. Junk food is still junk food. Love the animals and your own body too.
Hubby and I went Vegan in August 2015…. Hubby lost 35 lbs and I aam at 33 pounds…. I love the Vegan life style… and is not as hard as I thought it would be…
Alicia / Michelle you gotta look at these
