I think many times people think just because they don't eat red meat or red meat and poulty, that they are being vegetarians. They are, to a degree. But a true vegan will not eat dairy products.
I'm willing to bet if you go back to that style of eating but omit the dairy products, you may find it a more healthier vegan version and feel much better than when you attempted a vegan lifestyle while still consuming dairy products.
With that said, I still believe that it comes down to basic math. 3,500 kcal = 1 lb. Therefore, calories in vs calories out. That's the best way to weight loss. |
You are talking about 2 very different things here which are contradicting one another. A vegetarian and a vegan and 2 very seperate things. I don't ever want to be a vegan. I WAS vegetarian for 15 yrs, never a vegan. I didn't any meat or eggs, and even avoided products with eggs in them. I was a true vegetarian. Again, never was I or ever want to be vegan.
