Lose Weight on a Vegetarian Diet
Will you lose weight on a vegetarian diet? It is not guaranteed. But it should happen.
Have you ever seen an overweight vegetarian? Probably not too many! That does not come as a surprise, because becoming a vegetarian almost always means that you will be leaner and healthier. And almost all diets tell you to eat less meat and more vegetables.
And if you were to lose weight on a vegetarian diet, and then went back to eating meat, you would probably gain back all of the weight. All of the will-power in the world can not overcome the unheathly effects of eating meat that is high in fat content.
There are many benefits to eating a vegetarian diet that is lower in fat and higher in fiber. You will have more energy and stamina. You will sleep better and wake up more refreshed and ready to go! You will feel more like exercising.
Instead of focusing on losing weight, your focus should be on being healthier. Focus on eating healthy well balanced meals that are lower in fat and higher in protein and fiber. You may find that you will be losing weight without even thinking about it.
And if you lose weight on a vegetarian diet, you will notice some other bonus benefits. You may find that your blood pressure and cholesterol levels are lower. Your risk for Type II diabetes will decrease. You will look better and feel better!
So to sum it up, there is no guarantee that you will lose weight on a vegetarian diet, but the odds are in your favor. If you eat a well balanced vegetarian diet that is low in fat and high in protein and fiber, you should lose weight. And you will be healthier!
A lifetime of eating meat is hard to give up.
Now for the reason I came by………
As you may be aware, the Big Bang has eclipsed 770 sites, which is pretty amazing. I feel that the 1,000 site goal is very doable. If you haven’t updated your list in a while I would suggest doing so at http://mondaymorningpower.blogspot.com/2008/01/big-bang-master-list.html, and moving it to your front page, however, that is not the reason for leaving this comment.
I have launched 2 new sites that are “link-love” based, but emphasize quality over quantity.
I believe that everyone has something to be grateful for and/or something to complain about. If you would like to participate in what could eventually be bigger than the Big Bang, please follow the appropriate url and join in. Tagging is totally optional.
