Good Weight Loss Plans for Vegetarians?

I am a vegetarian, but I am fairly interested in losing weight or becoming more healthy. Sure, vegetarianism is a healthier lifestyle, but I still feel like I could do more to live healthier. I was wondering if any of you had really healthy meal ideas for a me!

Thanks a bundle!
Oh, I do exercise.

And I mostly eat soups, pastas and salads. I was just trying to think of other things to eat.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Soups, salads, and pasta are fine for weight loss, as long as the pasta is whole grain pasta. Sweet potatoes are also excellent weight loss foods. Be careful not to eat fried foods, and avoid oily salad dressings. They can add more calories than the salad itself!

You might want to move toward being a vegan rather than a vegetarian. The most important factor in choosing weight loss foods is their calorie density. Calorie density is determined by the amount of fiber, water, and fat that are in a food. Since eggs and dairy products contain absolutely no fiber, they will never be as good in the “calorie density” department as whole plants foods will. To learn which vegan foods have a low calorie density and which ones don’t, see:

What are some simple weight loss plans or ideas I can use?

I’m not overweight, but i’m really trying to cut down on the fat and lose a couple (hopefully more) pounds or so.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi Ashley! Because you’re not overweight, you don’t have to enroll to any weight loss programs out there. And I am pretty sure you don’t want to sweat, like me! I don’t want strenuous exercise, i’m too busy and sometimes i’m too lazy.

Here’s what I do daily, very very simple, to keep me from stocking on fats (despite the fact that I have a big appetite! Ahaha)

1. I drink water before I eat. This way I feel full so I eat less. Plus, I don’t drink water right after meal This makes me feel bloated. I wait for around 30 mins before I drink water.

2. I don’t sit down right away after meals. I feel like my belly is getting bigger every time I do that since it’s very full

3. I stay away from soda and iced teas. I’d rather drink fresh fruit juice (not the ones in can) and/or water

4. When I feel like reading a book while lying in bed, I lie 90 degrees from the wall with my feet and legs landing on the wall. They say it helps lessen belly fats

5. When I feel like dancing, I dance! It’s like an exercise but I’m enjoying it

6. I play basketball in arcades. Sometimes when I feel like it, I play basketball in arcades. It’s fun and exciting!

These are just simple tips. Hope it helps!

I know about putting them on a diet and more exercize…. i need some ideas like about some EXERCIZE plans for them. ones that will burn fat and build muscle.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Horses are grazers, so the primary source of nutrition, should come from forage. (grasses, and/or high quality, clean hay) Everyone has preferences for the type of hay, such as alfalfa, bermuda, orchard, etc., just make sure it’s clean, dust and mold free, and make sure your horse will eat it! Some horses don’t like certain hays, and won’t touch them. Don’t count flakes of hay, go by weight of the hay. Rather than going to high fat items, such as oils, or certain feeds, with added fats, try using good nutrition, instead. Fat equates to fake nutrition, since it adds weight, without any real nutritional value. (A horse’s daily requirement of fat, is less than 5%.)

There is a simple formula, for calculating how much to feed a horse, and it will work if you want one to gain weight, lose weight, or maintain it’s weight, and it’s based on feeding to a “goal body weight”, or the weight you want the horse to weigh.

Based on a horse’s workload, and it’s general ability to maintain weight, a horse should be fed between 1 1/2% and 2 1/2% of it’s goal body weight, in feedstuffs. (grass, hay, and grain/concentrates) It’s best to start with 2% of it’s goal weight, and you can re-evaluate the effectiveness, after 21 days, and make adjustments, if needed.

If you don’t have access to a livestock scale, use a weight tape, they are accurate, within 10 to 15 pounds, and keep a record of the horse’s weight, for reference.

Example: thin horse, who currently weighs 850 pounds, who should weigh 1000 pounds. This horse will be fed a total of 2%, or 20 pounds of feedstuffs, every 24 hours, for the first 21 days. If you feel a need to use grain, feed a minimal amount, of 2 pounds, 2 times per day, of the best quality feed. I prefer pelleted feed, it digests better than whole grains. Feed 8 pounds, of clean, high quality hay, 2 times per day.

At the 21 day mark, evaluate how the horse is doing, and make any adjustments, up or down, as needed. Slow gain, is healthy gain, and avoids health problems, such as founder and colic.
