Vegan Bootcamp

Hello. I have a bmi of 41 so need to lose excess weight - i’ve converted to vegan for ethical and health reasons, but am looking for a little guidance on how to drop the weight without sacrificing nutrients on a vegan diet. thank you!

There's a lot of material out there addressing this very question! I'm not a dietician, so I am not in a position to offer any particular advice. However, there are a lot of great vegan dieticians to turn to, some are listed here:

Also, I am a big fan of Dr. Michael Greger, though some think he's a bit fanatical. He runs nutritionfacts.org and I loved his book How Not to Die. He followed it up with How Not to Diet, another great read. Essentially he subscribes to the idea that if you focus on getting a variety of whole plant foods, you'll crowd out other not so healthy choices, and the change in lifestyle will produce the sustainable weight loss you're looking for.
