Hey all — I'm glad this community exists because I wouldn't be sure where else to turn with this question than people who may have experienced this before, when they were new.
I am a week and a half into veganism, and I've gained six pounds. I need to lose weight, not gain it.
I've been eating 2/3s of my day raw and am sticking with primarily whole foods.
Before switching my diet, I'd been Paleo for years — except without any dairy but butter. Now I'm eating fruits for the first time in so long and some bread.
What's up with the weight gain? I don't know what to do, but I'm hoping it's not the fruit or bread that are causing me to gain weight. I'm not used to them, so I still am worried they'll make me keep gaining weight.
My digestion is also totally messed up — I'm bloated and have a lot of gas and am not having bowel movements every day, anymore.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Is this normal?? When will the madness stop?!
