I can't say that going vegan was the only reason I lost more than 30 pounds and five pants sizes. I was also following WeightWatchers and an extremely intensive exercise program combining high-intensity cardio and a lot of strength training. But I know that eating vegan taught me how to eat healthy, nutritious food that was also delicious so that I never felt deprived. This way of eating helped me lose weight and gain strength and energy.
These pictures were taken exactly one year apart. I've maintained my weight loss since September but know it will be hard work to continue to maintain my weight and fitness level. But by eating vegan, I know I can do it.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comments. I debated this post because I don't like posting pictures of myself but ultimately decided it was important to note how vegan eating can contribute to healthy weight loss.
ReplyDeleteHi, Jennifer. You look awesome! It's so nice to work with you. I lost the recipe you gave me for the greens with hickory smoke. I can't find your phone number so I may have to just wing it. I want to get on the good foot and lose more weight too. You look great! :-)
