Reed Mangels, PhD, RD and Chef Nancy Berkoff, EdD, RD wrote an article in a previous issue of Vegetarian Journal that shows individuals how to lose weight on a vegan diet. This piece 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.
This article features two eating plans. The first has approximately 1,500 calories and is designed for most women who want to lose 1-2 pounds per week. The second has about 1,900 calories and is designed for most men who want to lose 1-2 pounds per week. One to two pounds per week is a safe rate of weight loss that is more likely to be maintained.
You will also find several recipes in the article found here: https://www.vrg.org/journal/vj2006issue1/2006_issue1_weight.php
