5 Common Reasons for Gaining Weight on a Plant-Based Diet:

You aren’t eating enough protein.
You’re a junk vegan or vegetarian.
You aren’t controlling your portions.
You’re not getting enough important nutrients.
I had an emotionally vegan relative who ruined many family holiday meals until the hostess grandma died and he stopped getting invited by the next generation. He died at 61 years old and 350 pounds, having supplemented his malnutrition from the soy-based crap (that directly harmed his family's medical legacy of thyroid illness) with Twinkies and beer.
