It's completely normal, even though there is some vegan food that is unhealthy (french fries, tofu nuggets, etc), its still waaay healthier than meat and animal by products, it's why most vegans you see are really skinny. Don't worry, as long as you've got a balanced diet and you're taking vitamins, the weight loss is nothing to worry about =)



Congrats on becoming vegan btw!Is it normal to see weightloss with a Vegan diet?
Depends on what you're eating. There are vegan junk foods. If you're actually watching calories, you can lose weight no matter what diet you're on. It looks like you're really paying attention. If you needed to lose five pounds, congratulations. I



If you're worried because you lost five pounds, start tracking your calories. You need about 2000, perhaps 2500 if you're an active, growing youngster. Vegetables are much lower in calories than meat, dairy, eggs. It takes planning and discipline to get that many calories every day on a strictly vegetarian diet. If you're not getting enough it will show up sooner or later when you get sick.
Yes, quick weight loss can happen to people you turn vegan. Eventually, you're body will adjust and find its normal body weight.



Make sure you're eating enough calories, though, just to be sure. You should be eating roughly 2000-2500 calories a day, depending on the amount of physical activity you get.Is it normal to see weightloss with a Vegan diet?
Usually when someone goes on a specific or rigid diet, especially after having unhealthy one, there is noticeable weight loss (unless of course the purpose of the new diet is weight gain)

However the real question is "Is it healthy weight loss or just losing weight because of inadequate nutrition?

There are other indications besides weight loss or gain that that point to a healthy diet. For example muscle has a higher density than fat so people who are more muscular may weigh more but look slimmer than those who don't.
Enjoying healthy food doesn鈥檛 have to be a hassle. You can prepare tasty, healthy meals in just seconds.Is it normal to see weightloss with a Vegan diet?
yes thats completely normal.. mostly vegan food is very healthy until unless you are deep frying everything you eat!!! :)

If you're watching your calories- that's most likely it.
