Ryan shares a collection of before and after pictures from his weight loss journey. Once topping the scales at over 240 pounds while on the Standard American Diet (SAD), he’s now a slim 170 pounds, standing 6’4″.
Ryan shows how he quickly and easily lost weight once he began a whole food plant based diet, after having followed vegetarian, vegan, and gourmet raw (high fat) & superfood diets with only subtly positive results. He also shares a few lessons learned along the way, such as the relatively low importance of going to the gym as compared to making positive dietary and lifestyle choices.
Join us for this very personal episode of Happy Healthy Vegan.
How many calories do you recommend for weight loss?
hi patti. it’s not all that simple unfortunately. i’ve found what you eat is more important than how much you eat. eating unprocessed whole foods, low fat, high carb, and a mostly vegan diet works. if you eat that way, you don’t need to worry about eating too much. i aim for over 3000 calories a day, but females depending on their size typically should get around 2500 a day.
