If you turn Vegan, eating wise, & are strict (no cheating) about it, then you will eventually (if you started overweight-obese) will never be overweight-obese, for as long as maintain being a strict Vegan.

Now that I am eating a lot more processed, salted & sugary Vegan foods*, *- Because revolution for the worst has happen in Vegan eating, When I started it was not Capitalist popular as now, so it was not possible, 30-years ago.
I wonder if I was always wrong, I have always been Vegan thin, genes & always active enough, that hard for me to become overweight-obese,
I leaning towards (with a lot more processed, salted & sugary Vegan foods introduced into one’s way of strictly eating Vegan) would NOT result in overweight-obese Vegans.

What do you readers think?

I am not saying being thin is being healthy enough,

    Vegan and healthy are two independent dimensions.

    You can have a healthy vegan diet, a healthy non-vegan diet, an unhealthy vegan diet and an unhealthy non-vegan diet.

    However, I would expect the average vegan diet to be healthier than the average non-vegan diet because…

    1. you avoid some substances that aren’t good for your body (no nitrosamines, less saturated fats etc.) and
    2. people with specific food requirements (applies not only to vegans) typically do more research and have more knowledge about what they eat (like reading the ingredients).
