Vegan: Week 4




Vegan: Week Four

Vegan is a very effective if somewhat limiting diet, but it does force you into a pattern of acceptable eating very quickly and has a noticeable and almost instantaneous effect. There is  plenty to choose from and it's not massively hard to find things to eat, but with limited choices you find yourself repeating your dietary choices more often than you would - so the psychological factor of eating loads of lentils, felafels and vegetables is always present and to be watched for.

However despite that it's very encouraging to be losing this kind of weight and not feeling ill effects other than dietary boredom. Often the response I get is "of course you will lose weight, you can't eat anything" which is not true, I still eat meals of a decent size and snack as well, just on a much reduced list of available foods.

The photos above show me at various stages, the fat photo was from May last year I think - and I was close to that in weight (if not heavier as I struggled with even my XXL t-shirts some times) and over 126 kilos (to my knowledge), The middle photo was on the 21st of June when I was 108 Kilos and the last is me in my schmancy new compression gear this week at 96.0 Kilos approximately 30 kilos (probably more than that) lighter than picture 1.

5 more days on Vegan and the to the 3 meals a day and zero snacks diet, which is diet number 7.
