The Vegan Society gives you the information you need to make choices about your life and to help you to maintain the lifestyle you want. All the various nutrients needed for good health are supplied by vegan foods. A well-balanced vegan diet includes plenty of fresh fruit and fresh vegetables together with foods containing protein and carbohydrates like nuts, cereals and pulses. With the diet being low in sugar and fat, and high in carbohydrates, it's uncommon for vegans to experience weight problems.
Male vegans tend to be lighter than the average weight recommended for their height.
And of course, it's unlikely that a change in diet will bring a change in weight when an individual has a metabolic disorder. A company called Granovita produces a vegan meal replacement drink which is a powder that can be added to soya milk. Tel 01933 273717. The Yellow Pages will have a list of local practitioners.
