30 Vegan Recipes for Weight Loss (2024)

Check out these amazing Vegan Recipes for Weight Loss! These easy, healthy recipes are low in calories but will help bulk up your plate to make losing weight easier.

But first, I want to start by saying that I think everyone should be whatever size they like as long as it makes them happy. Period. Rock your bod anyway you like it! Second, I want to say that I lost 10 pounds over the last couple of months, plus I'm pretty dang sure I gained muscle while doing it. ~flexes measly bicep~ I was happy with my bod a couple months ago, but I was starting to realize my potato chip to vegetable ratio was a little off, so I thought it was time to do something about it.

On average, vegans have a lower BMI than meat eaters or even vegetarians. The reason? Whole plant foods are low in calories, high in fiber (a calorie-free filler upper), have a high water content (another calorie-free filler upper), and are nutrient dense, so your body will feel nutritionally satisfied (aka no cravings). Whereas animal products, especially meat and cheese, tend to be high in calories, lower in nutrients, and contain zero fiber. So it's definitely easier to stay slim as a vegan, but just because on average vegans weight less, it doesn't mean all vegans are super thin. After all, potato chips are vegan too (as my love handles discovered).

After reading Proteinaholic (I highly recommend this book); where I learned about North America's needless obsession with protein, I learned the simple truth (science-backed): the ONLY way to lose weight is to consume fewer calories than you put out. Period. No matter what the macronutrient ratios you strive for, whether it be low carb, high carb, high fat, low fat, high protein, low protein. No matter what fancy name you give your diet, Paleo, Keto, Weight Watchers, 80/10/10, it doesn't actually matter when it comes to weight loss. The reason you lose weight is because you consume fewer calories than you put out, whether you realize it or not. Don't believe me? Read Proteinaholic.🙂

This is super good news because it makes it so very simple: eat whatever you want, just eat a little less, or find ways to lighten the calorie load a smidge. That's it. Keep doing that and you will lose weight, slowly, but surely. It takes time to put weight on, so don't rush to take it off.
