  • I’ll fall back on my default null hypotheses here.
    The effect is probably minimal if it exists at all. If there is any effect, it is probably negligible if you are doing the big things right. Your body is smart, and responds to changes in its environment with an eye towards improved survival and fitness. It is not a simple CICO machine.

    you could hypothesize and these rambling thought experiments…or you could watch the video, and see there are several studies saying the effect exists and isn’t minimal









  • I’d echo the tip previous, that vegan-substitutes for things (like cheese) are not going to be exactly the same, so don’t go in to things thinking “this has to be exactly like X”. Instead of cheese sauce, it’s just a really nice sauce made from cashews and potatoes and carrots and nutritional yeast.
    .
    Also cravings fade with time. I used to think I couldn’t go vegan because I loved pizza and ice cream so much. Now I don’t really miss them. And it’s easier than ever now to indulge those cravings when you really want to, with all the great options now.
