My weight is 106 kg and want to maintain about 75-80 kg.age is 55 yrs.height is 5f 9inch.Can it be possible through vegan diet or as you suggest ?

Ans: Yes, achieving and maintaining 75-80 kg is possible with a well-balanced vegan diet, especially when combined with regular physical activity. A plant-based diet can support weight loss by being naturally lower in calories and rich in fiber, which promotes satiety and better digestion. Include plant-based protein sources like lentils, chickpeas, tofu, quinoa, etc. to maintain muscle mass and keep you full. Even healthy vegan foods like nuts, seeds, and avocados can be calorie-dense. Minimize processed vegan foods and opt for whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits for optimal nutrition. Walking is great, but adding resistance exercises can boost metabolism and help with fat loss. Eating at regular intervals and avoiding late-night snacking can improve metabolic health. A vegan diet can be effective for weight management, but ensuring adequate protein, essential nutrients (like B12, iron, and omega-3s), and exercise is crucial.
