A vegetarian diet can be used for effective weight loss, or it can be a disaster. A vegetarian diet does not necessarily mean a healthy one. Potato chips, cheese, cookies, and soft drinks can all be part of a vegetarian diet. A healthy vegetarian diet, however, can help you lose weight and feel great.
Types of Vegetarianism
There are many levels of vegetarianism. Lacto-ovo vegetarians are the most common and consume plant food, eggs, and milk. Vegans omit anything animal based from their diet and only eat food from plant sources. Pescetarians, while not vegetarian, consume plant foods and fish. Semi-vegetarians prefer to eat primarily vegetarian foods, often for health or diet reasons, but are not 100% vegetarians. Any of these vegetarian or near-vegetarians diets can help you lose weight if applied correctly. Choose the one you feel most comfortable with. A diet that you cannot enjoy will always fail.
So what makes a vegetarian diet so effective? Done correctly, a vegetarian diet is lower in calories and higher in nutrients. It balances proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, while reducing or eliminating the bad fats and simple carbohydrates. You'll have more energy with this diet and will be able to eat large meals.
