Weight Control the Vegan Way

Many people vow to lose weight in the New Year. If you’re looking for a vegan weight loss article, you may want to take a look at https://www.vrg.org/journal/vj2006issue1/2006_issue1_weight.php written by VRG’s Nutrition Advisor Reed Mangels, PhD, RD along with recipes from VRG’s Foodservice Advisor Chef Nancy Berkoff, EdD, RD.

The article previously appeared in Vegetarian Journal and states, “While studies frequently find that vegetarians tend to be leaner than non-vegetarians and that vegans are leaner than lacto-ovo vegetarians, these results do not mean that all, or even most, vegans are lean. Vegans struggle with the same food-related issues that non-vegetarians do.

“This article was written to provide suggestions for vegans, or people who are interested in following a vegan diet, who want to lose weight. The weight loss plan is designed for non-pregnant adults. If you have a medical condition such as kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure, please consult your health care professional to make sure these ideas will work for you.”

Tips for Following a Vegan Weight-Control Diet are offered, as well as a chart listing vegan Lowfat Foods To Meet Your Nutritional Needs. You will also find a sample menu plan along with several recipes including Spinach-Onion Dip, Oven-Roasted Salsa Tofu, Seitan L’Orange, Tempeh Cacciatore, Baked Pears, Pineapple Cake, and Orange-Vanilla Smoothie.
