To lose weight and be healthy Vegans we sometimes need to cut down on the amount of calories we consume, the problem with eating less is we tend to feel even more hungry so the best way of reducing the amount of calories you eat is to choose good food. Instead of having smaller portions why don’t we bulk up our meals with foods that will fill you up without weighing you down, like fruit and vegetables and healthy nuts and pulses, these food will fill you up without piling on the pounds.
Eat as many vegetables and as much fruit as you can with every meal, your five a day mean you can fill your meals with vegetables and fruit so there’s less room for higher-calorie foods. At lunch, you can have salads with lettuce, tomato, onion, carrots, peppers or add these ingredients to a delicious sandwich. At dinner time, you can still enjoy your favourite meals like rice, vegan casseroles and pasta and fill them up with more veggies.
