I got very heavy on a vegan junky diet (for various reasons over a long period). Vegan junk food is super available these days, a far cry from a decade and a half ago.
Recently I've dropped from 330lbs 150kg ish to 220lbs 100kg ish in 4 stages. I haven't calorie counted at all really. Essentially by swapping veganised supermarket foods (which are generally trash whatever fable on the label) for buying ingredients and cooking #WFPB whole foods plant based. Things close to how they are grown.
6months cooking nearly all #WFPB dropped 30kg ish of it.
6months slightly relaxed food, working out 3 times a week dropped 20kg of it.
6months heavy workouts 7 out of 8 days. but relaxed food. Gained 9kg.
I went back to cooking #WFPB since Christmas already dropped 5.5kg or 12lbs. I certainly can't workout my way to offset the trash foods, no matter how nice a story the 'vegan friendly' packaging spins.
#WFPB works precisely because I don't have to suppress hunger, I'm full and I don't have to weigh and count every single calorie which is unsustainable for me long-term. I cheat occasionally of course, go out, drink sometimes etc, whatever but most of my meals need to be decent food, home made, from decent ingredients.
I cook almost exclusively without oil. Water, tamari, etc + good pan, airfryer etc.
If I'm going to do something like vegan pizza etc I try to use very sparing amounts of veganized cheese, or skip it entirely and come up with alternatives like above.
It's tasty to have something like guacamole, but I make it with lots of crisp salad veg to bulk it out.
I eat beans & whole grains, veg, fruits and a little nuts & seeds.
Complex carbs, good protein sources from plants, loads of fibre.
