i've been a vegan for about three years. and a vegetarian for an additional five years. mostly for ethical reasons, but i like the effect it has on my body.

i also had an eating disorder for four of those years somewhere in between and am still fairly sensitive in regards to body image.

after recovery, i'd been at a happy comfortable weight for a year, but recently gained four kilos in two months after moving interstate. i'd been eating mainly fruit, vegetables, bran and soy milk. i was doing minimal exercise (walking about 5/10km a day with the odd bike ride or swim)

i've come back to my home town to live with my parents for 10 weeks and hope to transform my body before i return interstate to live. i want to lose those four kilos, but also to lose as much fat as possible and build muscle.

i've put myself on a low calorie/ high protein diet and am doing gym/ swim sessions every second day.

please feel free to comment/ leave advice/ share experiences.

i'd love some feedback!

i look forward to some great conversations in here,

kind regards,

vegan k.

Hello Vegan. I find this Weight Loss Forum really great for support. There is a sub-forum for Vegetarians and a few Vegans, that I have come across, but few and far between. Maybe you will still find a few kickin around.

Take Care.
