I know we've got a few members who either are or were vegetarians or vegans, and who have been at it longer than I have. I was following Pescetarianism for about a year, and in the past month or two switched to full Vegetarianism (with minimal eggs and dairy).
What I'm finding with weight loss is that I'm slowly and steadily losing weight, to the point that I'm now within a healthy BMI range (I do know the limits of BMI). However, the concern is with losing too much weight, and I'm wondering how others have experienced weight loss when following plant-based diets.
At some point did the weight loss level out and your appetite increased? Did you start needing to increase your caloric intake? How did your diet need to change?
If people can avoid arguing against following plant-based diets in this thread that'd be appreciated, I'm aware of the science.
