Vegetable diet to lose weight

Becoming a vegetarian to lose weight can be as easy as you choose to make it. Whether you enjoy preparing delicious meals or choose quick and easy ones, vegetarian meals can be very satisfying and low in fat.
 
You’ve weighed your options carefully, studied the pros and the cons, and decided that the vegetarian diet and lifestyle is right for you. But where do you start making the changes?

Do you go ‘cold turkey?’ Do you adopt a more gradual approach to transitioning to vegetarianism? However you choose to make the change, you can begin to achieve the health benefits of vegetarianism by significantly cutting down on the amount of meats consumed, and making vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains the focus of your meals.

Choose whole-grain products like whole wheat bread and flour, instead of refined or white grains.  Eat a wide variety of foods, and don’t be afraid to try vegetables, fruits, grains, breads, nuts, or seeds that you’ve never tried before.

Experiment and explore! You may discover a new favourite or two, and learn fresh new ways to liven up more traditional vegetarian dishes. Many vegetarian foods can be found in any grocery store.

Specialty food stores may carry some of the more uncommon items, as well as many vegetarian convenience foods. When shopping for food, plan ahead, shop with a list and read food labels.

If you decide to eat dairy products, choose non-fat or low-fat varieties, and limit your egg intake to 3-4 yolks per week.

-Ready-to-eat, whole-grain breakfast cereals, and quick-cooking whole-grain cereals such as oatmeal, whole-grain breads and crackers, such as rye, whole wheat, and mixed grain and other grains such as barley and bulgur wheat

-A wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, which should be the core of any diet

-Canned beans, such as pinto, black beans, and garbanzo beans

-Vegetarian soups like lentil, navy bean, or minestrone

-A wide variety of plain frozen vegetables, and canned and frozen fruit

-Fortified soymilks and soy cheeses, should you choose to not eat dairy

-Rice (including brown, wild, etc.) and pasta (now available in whole wheat, spinach, and other flavours) with tomato sauce and canned beans and/or chopped veggies

As you learn to experiment with foods and learn that a meatless diet doesn’t have to lack variety, you’ll find your decision for vegetarianism was not only wise, but a great way to lose weight.
