Ht. 5'7", Start: 187 lb, Today: 187 lb, Goal: 150 lb - Hi, I was wondering if eating on a vegan diet is a good idea to lose weight. I read an somewhere that it is because meat and dairy (what vegans don't eat) are harder to digest and break down than fruits, veggies, and carbs. Do you think this is a good idea? You still get protein from soy products, so that's not an issue. Does this sound like a good diet? Please give me your opinion.

This is a great idea! I am doing it currently after reading a book "Skinny Bitches". It talks about how bad meat and dairy are for you and the animals they kill!

I know many people are vegans but I don't think it is a good idea to mess around with dieting options as a teen because our bodies are still develping and we need many things adults who are vegans do not need as bad. Many things found in dairy are vital as a growing person, so if you really do go vegan which I don't reccomend right now you should take a multivitamin and calcium supplement.
