Vegan "Diet" plan

A caveat to those who wonder if a vegetarian or vegan diet will help them lose weight: You can still be an unhealthy, overweight person on these "diets."

I gained over FIFTEEN pounds my first year as a vegan. Carbs, like pasta and bagels, are sometimes the only option when eating on the go.

Also, there's a host of vegan cookies, cakes and desserts now available at a lot of supermarkets. They may not have milk and eggs, but they still have sugar and oil. Some of those delicious Alternative Baking Company cookies have 500-600 calories each.

Bottom line: You need a balance low-fat proteins, fruits, vegetables and whole grains, regardless of whether your protein is from animal sources or not.
