Don't become a vegetarian just to lose weight. I have
been a vegan for over 20 years and still have to watch
my weight. I know several overweight vegans. It's
all a matter of your metabolism, your genetics, your
rate of exercise, and the amount of calories you eat.
You can eat too much fat and sugar on a vegan diet
just as easily as you can on an omni diet. Don't
over-do the fats! I recommend Weight Watchers for
weight Loss-- you can do Weight Watcherrs as a vegan
or vegetarian diet and there is lots of support on the
online version for vegetarians. I'm on the plan right
now and have lost 15 lbs, and my husband has lost 18.
We are not suffering at all!

Susan over at fatfreevegan.com uses a combination of
WW and the McDougall plan and has lots of recipes on
her site and her blog!
