The Vegan Diet: Too Focused on LabelsThe mistake:
Thinking "vegan" = "healthy"
How it hurts: "Often there is a myth that following a vegan diet will naturally cause weight loss," says Sheth. Not only can eating vegan-approved foods like nuts and seeds add extra calories and fat, eating junk food, just like with any other diet, will lead to weight gain. Yes, even those seemingly healthy vegan donuts and cookies.
The fix: Next time you see that vegan cookie, skip it. Or, at the very least, eat them occasionally, and remember to think of them as a treat, not a health food. Sheth says to emphasize whole foods like veggies, fruits, and whole grains and lean proteins like beans and lentils.
