\nRecently I embarked on a low-fat vegan diet. My motivation was two-fold: weight loss but also reducing arterial plaque.<\/p>\n
\nI don’t have reason to believe I particularly have a lot of arterial plaque, but I’ve eaten a lot of meat and cheese in my lifetime, so I guess it’s possible. However, I did need to reverse my weight gain.<\/p>\n
\nAs I understand, the concept of a low-fat vegan diet is that the foods allowed aren’t calorie-dense enough to promote weight gain. Moreover, the low fat intake, with no animal fats, will prevent further plaque build-up in the arteries. Once again, that’s my understanding.<\/p>\n
\nI’m not trying to restrict how much I eat on this new diet. Nonetheless, I’ve lost around nine pounds, so far.<\/p>\n
\nI definitely get cravings for foods I no longer allow myself to eat. However, I doubt it’s possible to lose weight without getting cravings.<\/p>\n
\nGenerally, I’d say, I feel better since starting this low-fat vegan diet. For now, I think I’ll stick with it and see where it leads.<\/p>\n
