Question by mimi: will eating a vegetarian diet for 30 days, jumpstart a significant weight lose?What would you like to ask?
I need to shock my metabolism into burning calories and fat. I started a vegetarian diet recently and I’m hopeful that it will initiate a double # weight decrease.

Answer by Veggiegirl
I recently became a vegetarian and i actually lost 12 pounds in 3 months. When I started I was 140 pounds and now I am 128. But keep in mind that I did exercise 4-5 times a week for 40 minutes as well.
It worked for me and I love being a vegetarian!

    I lost 50 pounds by switching to a pure vegetarian diet without refined and processed foods. One of the best expert in the field is Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr. Follow his diet conscientiously over your lifetime and you will maintain your weight loss. If you stop, be prepared to watch the pounds go back on. It’s a lifetime commitment to be effective. Note that calorie restricted diets and Atkins diets have been proven to be ineffectual for more than a year. (“Rethinking Thin”, Gina Kolata).

    I don’t think shocking your system is a good thing, but it’s probably the easiest approach. You will probably go through withdrawals from addictions to salt, sugar, fat/oils, MSG, and aspartame if you are like most Westerners.

    One good thing about a pure vegetarian diet is the fact that you don’t feel hungry because it is high in fiber. It’s a very satisfying and healthy diet. Just take your B12, Vitamin D, and ground flax seed (Omega-3 fatty acids). Beans and whole grains at each of three meals squashes your appetite. Lot’s of vegetables and some fruits fulfill the rest of your requirements. If you don’t or cannot eat a balanced vegetarian diet, you may need to eat some animal flesh, but you will suffer some health consequences over a lifetime. Also, make sure to check with your doctor about cholesterol if you are taking a statin drug. These are way too powerful for people on a vegetarian diet and can cause neurological damage.

    Avoid pre-packaged, pre-processed convenience foods. Those will always get you. MSG and aspartame are neurotoxins and are outright dangerous (MSG is used to fatten laboratory rats before studies). Soy is not necessary. Soy contains natural hormones and in the US often is made from genetically modified beans. A wide variety of other beans can provide you with the protein you need along with whole grains (oats or wheat or others). Soy is inexpensive and high in protein but the GM crops are risky. (Dr. Neal Barnard)

    yup, it will help you do that but remember to gradually get back to eating meat and fish for total nourishment.

    Meat contains alot of calories and fat so giving it up should help you to lose some weight, especially if you eat alot of it
