I’m part of a whole-foods plant-based potluck group. A number of people are eating that way to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. Most people in the group are maintaining a healthy weight without any major exercise plan.

Yes, having a support group of people eating the same way helps. Everyone seems to have stories about their own friends and family that don’t get it even when they are on statins or have other health or weight problems.

Damn I wish I had this group in my area

I ran into the guy from the group this morning. He is in 60s and had just finished in the top 3 in his age group at a local 5k race.

I came in maybe 4th in my age group but I ran an extra 5 miles to get to the race.

Thanks! Sadly my closest pod(?) is the next town over. I joined in case I ever get the time to join in person.
