    There's often a confusion between people who go "whole-food plant-based" for personal health reasons, and people who go vegan which is about animal's rights. Of course a person can want both too.

    In any case, people who adopt more plant-centric diets do often see a reduction is bodyweight, but it's not guaranteed. As the pic up top shows, it can still be very easy to have an unhealthy lifestyle even if it is plant-based.

    The vegan I knew in college actually warned people about weight gain while she was pushing her veganism on us. "Its hard not to replace everything with carbs" was basically her spiel.

    I did lose 10kg in 4 months when I cut a heavy portion of meat from my diet but that was because I was basically eating once a day and when I was still hungry in the evening I had rice with corn afterwards. I was not broke but cheap and keeping my fridge empty made it less likely to take something out of nothing.

    That's only a downside for the coworkers

    I'm a helpless cheese/dairy addict, trying to cut off as much meat as possible. Unfortunately, a few years ago my body had decided not to deal with that anymore, and I became slightly lactose intolerant. Now, I can either go vegan and end up eating shittons of legumes, or I can keep eating cheese (my workplace provides free food, but basically everything has cheese in it). I'm trying my best to keep them alive, but it's not easy.

    It's clearly because of the weed. Munchies be too powerful to quell.

    My sisters are actually carbitarian. Very few vegetables for people who have been vegetarian for decades

    I know a vegan girl and she lives off of spice and soda.

    I was worried for a second that I had missed blocking a vegan community...

    It's not a hate crime to block things you have no interest in.

    First thing I did on here was block all the trans and gay stuff. Then the tankies and the vegans. And now all the AI shit, although that's mostly not got a home here.

    Because the ones who usually post and respond are not interested in polite, casual discourse. I block crossfit communities for the same reasons.

    And it's almost never the vegans; it's the community. I block the community instead of the people. Often they're just fine on subjects that aren't veganism.

    So, let me get this straight. It's less about your dietary regime and more about getting up off your ass and getting out and burning off the calories you consume?

    You need to do both, but you can't outrun your fork

    You can't outrun the fork as they say, but otherwise it doesn't have anything to do with veganism? I mean losing weight.

    impossible burger

    I’d rather kick a dog to death than eat one of these monstrosities. A creamy center is the sort of debasement that no one deserves to experience in their burger. I understand that not everyone shares my opinion, and I can accept that they are so fundamentally wrong that they should not be considered human. It is not just acceptable, it is a moral imperative to excise these subhumans from the our cities.

    Mushroom, red bean, and grain burgers are the right choice.

    I sound like someone who enjoys writing hyperbole.

    But to continue the bit a bit more, you sound like someone who serves subpar food near cherished pets.

    I'm not sure how you cooked your impossible burger, but personally I can't tell the difference between those or an animal beef burger. It's so good (IMO, obviously you feel different) that I'm puzzled why so many people say they're waiting for lab grown meat, when we already have such an incredible, affordable plant based alternative available in most stores right now.

    Their just a nerd looking to impress the Internet. 

    As a meat eater, who loves that shit and only had reduced for environmental and health reasons, it's pretty close. If you want to be picky you could probably pick it out if you are doing just a plain burger but they'll do in a pinch.

    the impossible burger fucks up my gut. i think it's the fiber in it. that's why i'm waiting for lab grown, personally.

    Sounds like you need to eat more fiber if your gut treats any amount of fiber as some kind of foreign invasion

    Just grilled beside the meat burgers at like 650ish. I’d never choose to eat it again, personally. Not just because of the texture, but the salt. I can’t use my salted burger spice mixes on a patty so pre-laden with salt. I usually make mushroom burgers instead. Certainly better for my blood pressure
