It all depends on the foods you eat and how much of them you are eating. If you are focusing on filling up on healthy fruits and vegetables, you really can’t get it wrong. However, fake animal and processed plant food and oils can damage your health if eaten in excess.

Most fake soy meats contain GMO soy and isolated soy protein, which is associated with specific diseases and health ailments, which can potentially have a negative impact on your weight. Many of the fake meat and soy products possess fillers and starches that may or may not be high in sodium and are extremely processed. It is also imperative that you eliminate refined sugars and processed carbohydrates.

Yes, it is possible to gain weight even on a plant-based diet. Many people think by eating a plant-based diet, they can avoid weight gain. If well planned, most people lose weight on a plant-based diet. Don’t be fooled; if you are eating habits isn’t controlled and properly planned, you can gain weight. To avoid gaining weight on a plant-based weight, you need to make sure that you are burning more calories than you are consuming. If this goes otherwise, you are sure to gain weight. If you replace animal-based products with excessive carbohydrates and junk, you are certain to gain unwanted weight. This is because carbohydrates contain more calories. To avoid weight gain, watch your portion size, drinks, junk food, and toppings. If you put all these in check, you are less likely to gain weight on a plant-based diet.
