An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Going vegan is easier than losing weight. To lose weight, you have to eat less, which goes against everything evolution selected you for; to go vegan, you have to start eating different things, which evolution did prepare you for. You only have to fight psychological addictions to meat and stuff, which is fairly easy if you actually look at how it is produced - I am now disgusted by it and so it takes 0 effort to stay away from it.
Obesity is a natural reaction to an unnatural food environment. You get fat because you eat processed food that has way too much energy (calories like fat and sugar) and too little nutrition and bulk. If you just eat less junk, as you already said, your stomach is half empty and you will feel hungry all the time. Nobody can live like that for long. So the only option to lose weight forever is changing your diet to Whole food plant based. This is not me being smart, but science.
