Vegetarian Weight Loss Secrets

[soulmambo]

I totally agree with your statements, I have been vegan raw food many years and quite physically active, a little food goes a long way and we need to focus on things like art music and activities thay stimulate growyth from within that we may more positively effect change and harmonious growth in our outer circles.

Whats wrong with grains? If you're allergic then dont use grains but otherwise grains are terrific. Oils are loaded with fats which is not good for weight loss.

@medliberty There's nothing wrong with grains - in fact they have supported civilization for thousands of years of agriculture. They should be at the basis of vegetarian diet. That being said, with often sedentary lives and refined grains modern folks can overload with them. A well balanced veggie diet has fruits, veggies, grains, beans, nuts and seeds (and if consuming animal products some dairy). The body needs healthy oils to make hormones & have good skin, hair, etc.-olive oil, coconut...

GREAT video! I am transisitoning back to a plant-based diet (gonna' do it right this time and for life). I believe I relied a little too heavily on processed grains the first time and have since discovered I feel so much better and even drop a little weight when I cut them out. I am looking forward to more tips and info. for new veggies looking to lose weight and gain health. :)

@kittygr01 Hi - Some soy milk is good - but not all the time, a little heavy for body. Try nut milks. Try protein for breakfast (rice protein and green powders) you can find at my website under the green smoothie post. Keep melas to 3 light per day with no grazing in between. Only water or plain tea between meals. 12 hours at night with no food, just water. Love yourself :)

I like fish. I would have this as my only animal flesh. Sushi is awesome! I was vegan for 2 years almost a decade ago

@themooddisorders Cool - glad you were a vegan once - such a great path to experience.... be well!

I think people focus too much on specifics instead of embracing a healthier lifestyle. If you have to count calories and measure consumption of certain things it is hard to maintain such a diet without getting in a rut of eating the same 'safe' foods all the time instead of a healthful veriety. General rules like 'less grains' and 'more fresh plant foods' are very easy to work into your lifestyle and over time your health improves and you eat less nonsense. Drastic change is hard to maintain

[caryellis489]

@NadimahElizabeth I agree - embracing general guidelines for long term lifestyle is so refreshing & sustainable!

this helped so much!

what about truffle oil for healthy fats?

I rarely get any exercise at all. I work a desk job and outside of work, I enjoy reading or writing. I've been reading a lot of info about going vegetarian and I'm only on my third day of abiding by the diet, but I'm feeling extra tired! Maybe it's much too early to tell, but so far, I haven't felt that "extra energy" that most vegetarians claim. You mentioned that it's necessary to eat the foods that particularly match your body's activity. What would you suggest I try?

[caryellis489]

@igotssssoul HI - I'm so glad you're putting forth effort towards better lifestyle habits. When we make changes, especially to lighter food we begin to detox and that can cause tiredness. 3 meals / day / 5 hrs between with no food / black coffee or tea or water only ok. 12 hrs at night nothing in stomach except H20. Lean towards lots of fresh fruits / veggies / raw nuts/seeds (small amts grain). Sign up for free updates at my website caryellis com and you'll get regular helpful tips -

This woman has no real understanding of nutrition. Get your nutrition advice from a registered dietitian, someone who has received either their Bachelor's or Master's degree in Nutrition and is accredited by the government. I can't believe this woman claims eating certain types of fat helps you burn fat. That is pure myth!

@fionayoung21 it's not that the fats burn fats, our body needs fat, what she is saying is to get it from healthy sources not fries and stuff
