Vegans know a couple of secrets to help you lose weight in a healthy way. Vegans watch what they have in their plates and it is believed that they have fewer health issues. It is reported that vegan foods fight inflammation while people whose menu is full of animal based foods suffer from various diseases.

Here is a list of eight foods that are vegan, healthy, delicious and good for those who wish to get in shape:

1. Mushrooms

What could ever replace meat? Well, vegans know the answer. You can eat mushrooms instead of meat. Mushrooms are low in calories and contain no fat. They are quite filling at the same time since it takes time for your body to digest them. Remember that mushrooms are rich in fiber, antioxidants and vitamins and you can create lots of various dishes with them.

2. Spinach

Spinach is one of the most essential foods to make your diet complete. This plant is packed with vitamins C, B6 and A as well as fiber and even protein. Spinach can be replaced with kale sometimes. We suggest you should include both and enjoy a variety of fresh salads and smoothies, stir-fries and stews.
