Weight Control the Vegan Way
Many of you may be putting on extra pounds during this stressful period. Lack of exercise in some cases is adding to the problem. The Vegetarian Resource Group previously published a weight loss article in Vegetarian Journal by VRG’s nutrition advisors Reed Mangels, PhD, RD and Chef Nancy Berkoff, EdD, RD.
This article 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.
Included in the article is a chart titled “Lowfat Foods To Meet Your Nutritional Needs.” You’ll also find a sample menu plan, as well as lowfat vegan recipes including:
- Spinach-Onion Dip
- Spicy Creamy Sauce
- Oven-Roasted Salsa Tofu
- Tofu and Snow Pea Stir-Fry
- Seitan L’Orange
- Tempeh Cacciatore
- Baked Pears
- Glazed Pineapple
- Pineapple Cake
- Banana-Almond Shake
- Orange-Vanilla Smoothie
- Cool Rice Cream with Fruit
