andgbr Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 When you first became vegan, did you lose or gained weight? After the whole ''detoxification'' process did you gained some extra pounds back? Or kept with the same weight? ------ In my case i lost a lot, and a ''year later'' i was thin, then after some thin time, i started gaining my weight back, is that part of the detoxification process?

Astrocat Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I didn't lose weight, but lost a fair bit of toxic flab. I eat more now also, and I haven't been gaining more flab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I was eating apples, salad, wheat bread and OJ for the most part after going vegan, running a few miles every morning at 4 am and went from 180 to 165 really quickly. That's what got me started on weight lifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I stayed the same weight for a few years. Then gained about 40 pounds after I started strength training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 My weight stayed the same...I think I gained maybe 5 lbs going vegetarian but that lasted about 2 weeks before I went vegan...after that I maintained my weight but got alot stonger which leads me to believe I melted alot of fat away and put on more muscle mass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I stayed the same weight really, recently I put a bit more on from sitting around a lot. But for about 5 or 6 years of being vegan, I was the same weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico12 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I lost about 20 pounds after becoming vegan. Since then I have gained that back and a bit more after going through a bad bout of depression, but I'm working on getting rid of it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtjs Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I lost about 5-8 pounds at first (7 months ago). But within the last two months I have gained it back. It's taken some work, but it's coming. We'll see where we can get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSiren Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Lost, but then again I was eating better foods and working out harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finbarrio Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Lost a little, but then found it easier to maintain once I figured out the volume and type of healthy food I needed to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Messplay Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I lost a good deal of weight when I became vegan five years ago. Then, I put on some weight, and now it's coming back off. My weight has always fluctuated throughout my life though. I was the token "fat kid" of my friends through elementary and middle school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
