Vegans can also be fat.

[ExtrovertedCenobite]

Folks, I can tell you from experience that I dropped 40 pounds in approximately 5 months and without one minute of being hungry or feeling deprived and I feel great. How did I do it? Fruits and Vegetables, no diary, no meats, no processed food, no prepackaged food except for essentials such as oatmeal and some minor purchases. I never thought I could give up cheese, now I don't enjoy it but I love grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables. Love yourself & your loved ones by doing the right thing.

It would be a shame for you not to shed pounds when these other normal people burn fat so easily using Fat Blast Furnace (go google it).

They laughed when I told them I would lose weight with the Skinnimaker Diet, but then they saw the results. Do a search on google for the Skinnimaker Diet to see their reaction. (It was epic!)

Although MUCH healthier than animal fats, plant oils and sugars can still cause health problems if used in excess (the same with other highly refined foods like white flour and cane sugar. Try not using so much olive oil when cooking and stick to only whole foods and it is next to impossible to be overweight.

It may be due to an increase of oil. Although MUCH healthier than animal fats, plant fats can still cause health problems if used in excess. Try not using so much olive oil when cooking.
