Your Questions About Vegetarian Diet For Weight Loss

Cutting soda out of my diet for weight loss?

Normally I drink one soda a day. But I know its not good for you… I’m a vegetarian and eat pretty healthily but since I’m trying to lose 20 pounds do you think dropping soda and drinking primarily water will help me? Thanks!

Am i slightly chubby if so whats my ideal weight?

Hey everyone,

So i have been getting kind of obsessed with my weight recently and as much as i try to hide it, i think its obvious.I have no one to speak to, trust me you dont know my situation.Anyway since i was five i’ve been thinking about weight, i am now 13 years old!When i was five i first weighed myself only to discover i was 20kg i felt horrible.I then weighed myself at six after being constantly being called ‘fat’, only then did i discover that i’d actually ballooned to 28kg so i dieted all the way to 21kg and at the age of seven i was skin and bone.I refused to eat through the winter holidays abroad and i loved the new slim me. I was at a healthy weight till year five when i was ten and became 30kg i hated myself for it and wanted to lose weight, it didnt happen. THEN i became eleven and it was weigh day at school and all my friends were 33 or 34 kg i was 35 and being overly obsessed about my weight, i once again went on a diet.I began thinking that i was not that fat for the time in between and i relaxed eating everything from icecreams to fruits to chocolates to crisps to big meals in the summer holidays of 2009, i was twelve.It was only when i saw a video my dad had tooken of me on a bike that everything was torn apart. At 4’9 i was a whopping 48kg, i knew i had gained weight and i finally had the courage to face up to the scales. I was shocked, if i didnt lose weight i would eventually hit 50kg which would be devastating. Still in a state of shock i went to extreme measures to slim down. My dad had openly said i looked kind of fat to me and my mum would tell me to cut back on the eating from time to time! I starved myself for 24hours every day only having a meal at 3 o clock and i was ecstatic when i went down to 42kg after my holiday in morrocco, my pictures were disgusting and they pushed me forward to lose more, by then i was 4’11 and people were commenting on how slim i looked. I had once again acheived the weight loss satisfaction. My parents tried to stop me losing weight which made me angry because i still had the ‘fat’ image in my mind. I eventually stopped and my weight steadied. I would often gain 2lb or so but i quickly lost it in fear of gaining weight! I have to say last summer was the biggest wake up call for me and since then i have dreaded all forms of holidays and chances to eat. Im always dieting, sometimes i starve for two weeks, eat for a week starve for a week, but all of a sudden my mum bribed me, she said she wouldnt take me to the gym unless i eat atleast 1000 cals a day, so after a week of starving i opted for a week of eating AND going to the gym everyday.Mum only gave me a weeks membership though so im back on a diet now. Im 4’11 and a half or 5 foot and about 43kg, am i slightly chubby, what would be considered slim, because i know for a fact im NOT slim!!?All advice appreciated, thanks XD XD

bye!!

do you think these 10 Rules to Lose 10 Pounds and Cut Belly Fat are good and safe ?

here is the website i got it from .http://ezinearticles.com/?10-Rules-to-Lose-10-Pounds-and-Cut-Belly-Fat&id=1155726

this is what the site said to do

“Here are 10 simple rules to lose 10 pounds and cut belly fat in 2-3 weeks.

1. Eat a big breakfast with protein and fiber.

This helps you to start the day right so that you don’t have to play calorie catch-up later in the day using high calorie convenience foods.

2. Start each meal by eating a fruit such as an apple, grapes, or a grapefruit.

This helps to fill you up before you eat your meal… a meal which is more likely to have higher calorie, bad foods.

3. Eat beef jerky or string cheese for snacks.

These are some good protein snacks. Much better than carbohydrate snacks with simple sugars in them.

4. Take fish oil pills.

The healthy omega 3 fats in fish oil help with long term weight loss. Ideally, you take 6-10 grams each day with a meal.

5. Take a cold shower.

Or if you can’t do that, just rinse your body with really cold water for 15 seconds after your normal shower. This causes your body to slightly raise it’s internal core temperature. When that happens, the elevated body temperature becomes a more hostile environment for fat cells. Fat doesn’t like heat.

6. Eat 3 apples a day.

Kinda similar to another rule, but apples are incredibly powerful for weight loss due to their high water content, low calories, and high fiber. Using this rule alone would probably help you to lose 2 pounds a month without changing anything else.

7. Use a hula hoop at home.

Yep, the good ol’ hula hoop is actually a pretty good weight loss tool… works great for toning your hips and waist. Do it for 5 minutes a day.

8. Do high intensity interval training (HIIT) at the gym.

This is different from typical jogging on the treadmill. You’ll want to do whatever cardio exercise really intense for 10-15 seconds and follow it with 20-30 seconds of going slow. Keep repeating that and you’ll get an “afterburn” effect. That means you burn calories at a higher rate even after you’re done.

9. Eat 1 can of black beans everyday.

I consider black beans a super food. High in protein and fiber. Each 15 ounce can has 25 grams of protein and 25 grams of fiber. For just 48 cents at Wal-Mart, that’s quite good… especially considering the rapidly rising prices for most other foods these days!

10. Cheat

Hey, if you’re on a strict diet, if you don’t cheat you may “down-regulate” your metabolism. What that means is you will slow it down and burn less calories than you normally would. You avoid that by cheating once a week. The cheating helps to spike up your calories for 1 day which actually boosts your metabolism. Just don’t think eating a lot of calories everyday will do the same thing. It won’t.

So there you have it… 10 rules to lose 10 pounds and cut belly fat.

I started a weight loss plan with diet and exercise and lost 50 pounds in 5 months.?

People keep asking me how I did it. I kept a Journal of calories, protein, carbs, ect consumed and also what workouts I did that day. How could I publish that journal and sell to other people to help them with their weight loss goals?

How do I become a vegetarian?

I’ve been raised to eat meat but have always felt incredibly guilty about it even as a child. I have been changing my diet for weight loss since march and now eat every healthy and am successfully losing weight slowly (a pound a week). I don’t eat much meat anymore (I have lean turkey in my sandwiches and chicken caesar salads at restaurants sometimes but thats pretty much it).

I also don’t want to be one of those vegetarians that looks like a corpse, so first off what would be a good LOW CALORIE alternative to turkey meat, something lean please (I know yves has meatless turkey but its 100 calories for 4 slices and my current turkey is 45 calories for 6 slices, is there anything lower than yves thats meatless).

What are some other good meat alternatives so I don’t lose out on my protein? (I plan to still eat eggs and dairy products).

What are some healthy meatless things to order at restaurants besides veggie burgers, as restaurants don’t have them all the time.

How do I deal with unsupportive family members? I know my mom will worry like crazy for health reasons she is convinced that if I go vegetarian I will become anemic, is she right?

Thanks!

I now have the self control to do it, I just want to know “how” so to speak without getting anemic and looking like a corpse, also without gaining weight, b/c I still really want to keep up my weight loss and fat loss.

I have achieved self control I never thought imaginable so I do have the self control.

I know that scott, I am trying to find healthy alternatives to what I already eat so I don’t gain weight and I want to know how to do it healthfully so I don’t become anemic.

Is this a healthy weight loss diet?

I want to make a Life-Style diet for a healthy diet.

I made a list of foods I’m willing to eat to live a healthy life & to lose weight.

I’m an average height, overweight 18 year-old male.

Will these foods help me lose weight?

DRINKS: water, tea, iced coffee

SPICES: cinnamon, hot sauce, oregano

BREAKFAST: eggs, oatmeal, Honey Bunches of Oats cereal w/ skim milk,

DINNER: whole wheat spaghetti, tuna, salad w/ spinach

SNACKS + OTHER: vegetables, fruit, frozen fruit smoothies w/ yogurt, almonds

(should I buy Protein powder???)

I’m going to start eating only these foods and exercising by running, doing push-ups, sit-ups and some weight lifting.

Will this life-style help me lose weight and make me healthy?

What multi vitamins and weight loss products can i use whilst on Setraline (Zoloft)?

I am currently on Setraline, I have been on these since Nov 2010. I am 14 stone and need to loose weight. I do currently excersize, but generally need a little help. I took hoodia before and it helped me to loose 1.5 stone (it works – even if it just a placebo effect!!) I would like to try them again but am worried if it may react with my meds. I would also like to take some multi vitamins just as i always had up until 2 years ago. Would it be safe enough to take any of these? Which should i steer clear of? Thanks

Studying Abroad and Weight Loss?

Even though I am so excited to leave the country to study abroad in a month, I am a little worried about my progress and how I will continue.

I am going to Spain (leaving from the good ol’ northeast), where I have heard the food is a mixture of a lot of influences. Basically, heaven… but, stuff I try to limit. Here, I am able to limit what I eat, count out 1500-1700 calories a day, and exercise 6 days a week. I am worried that when I get there and am living on my own in another country with little money, the healthy food is going to go out the window.

As far as exercise, I will probably be walking more than I do at my regular college and especially more than I do now while at home (mostly sedentary right now except exercise, while at school I am moderately active plus exercise).

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice about how to adapt to another culture without giving into all the amazing foods all the time, and how to adapt to another culture’s exercise routine/options? Maybe other people have studied abroad/travelled abroad and have had these same concerns? Maybe I should just limit calorie-counting and just focus on eating when I’m hungry and stopping when I’m full… or if it might be easier to keep it up this lifestyle change then I think?
