Personal story for those who are interested, can give me advice or who can simply relate.
I'm Female and 18 years old.
Since being a vegan (2-2 an half years now), i've lost a fair amount of weight, i use to be 5'7" (172 cm) and 145 lbs (66 kg). I'm now around 108 lbs (49 kg). Mind you, this was gradual and intentional.
I have a physical job in hospitality, constantly power walking, bending, lifting and this is basically my only form of exercise.
i eat fruit in the morning most days for breakfast with a cup of tea or two.
then have a healthy lunch mid afternoon e.g tofu salad, curry, veggie dishes and dont efter 5pm.
i don't eat processed foods, bread or pasta (wheat intolerant) and rarely have rice, sugar, soft drinks, oils and never any fried foods.
but!
i have one question, i eat nuts fairly often, always the raw, unsalted kind with dried fruit. it's basically the only snack i have.
lately i've been worried about gaining weight on it as they are high in caloires and fat.
but because i have a fairly strict eating plan, that it might not make a difference?
plus these past two days i had a couple of big spoonfuls of peanut butter.. is this bad for me?
i hadn't had it in ages, but mum recently got a jar and i find myself craving it and am a little worried.
nuts are my biggest diet failure, does anyone else have this and can give me advice to overcome it?
thank you
