Right, in the above discussion, we factored in activity level and caloric intake. Why is this something to be concerned about based on what standard? The ADA? I understand that amenorrhea is a risk for underweight females, but is it always the end? I am not anorexic by any means. My last...

Anyone know? :eyes: Sorry if this question has already been addressed... I'm late to the party. :party:

Awesome! Thanks, Lou! :) I won't worry about it then. I still want to understand why I lost weight, though. It sounds like you are saying this is because of the WFPB diet + caloric burning through exercise as you explained very well above. Is this correct?

I'm seeking opinions from doctors on other forums, and someone said that I could be seriously in danger and have hyperactive thyroid or diabetes. I don't think this is true because I got a physical 6 months ago before going WFPB and my thyroid is fine. The doctor said I didn't need a blood...

Gotcha. Thank you for your input. It really helps to put things into proper perspective.

Thanks for your input. I'm a little confused--I thought under 18% for an average female was something to be concerned about as stated above in the previous replies? Update: According to the Marine's standard, it looks like I'm 5 pounds underweight since their minimum is 110 for a 64 inch tall...

Thanks for the reply, Lou, And thank you for the birthday wishes. :innocent: Ok, so I measured my BF% based on the link you've given me and these were the results (I had to round off adjust 2 measurements because the system wouldn't take half sizes in decimal format): "Your body fat...

Thank you for your thoughtful reply! Do you think this is something I need to be concerned about health-wise? When should I be concerned about my weight? Also, is Mama Chickpea doing better and has she put on more weight? I just looked at Dr. Greger's response to gaining more weight in...

Hello all, I have some concerns over my weight dropping since going 100% vegan 1 month ago; perhaps this is something that I should or should not be alarmed about. Before going vegan (Whole Food Plant Based [Nutritarian] to be specific), I was already slightly underweight at 117 pounds. I am...

Hello Fellow Veggies! For those interested, here are a few of the meals that I have been eating on a vegan whole food-plant based diet. I'm 7 days in to being vegan! So I am always researching and looking for more recipes as well. All of these are my own creations and recipes and my hubby...

Thank you! <3

Thank you everyone for your help and advice. :) Today is a rougher day for me, but I think I'll be fine. I'm lowering my caloric intake like Lou advised, but now I don't feel as energetic because I'm not getting many calories. I don't like eating large amounts of food in the morning either and...

Lou, Thank you so much for your thorough and well-considered response! It is greatly appreciated. :) Yes--I did increase my caloric intake significantly and it was difficult to eat that much. Today, I followed your advice and ate my standard 1-2 large meals per day along with some fruit as a...

Hello! I am new here. As the title suggests, I am a vegan that has transitioned from vegetarianism 4 days ago. The results have been amazing to say the least. While I wasn't excited about going vegan, my energy has been through the roof and my depression is gone! :) My joint inflammation has...
