I know that pretty much everyone gains it because they start eating tons of carbs, but has anyone lost weight by becoming vegetarian? If so, what did you eat and did you maintain that weight loss with a vegetarian diet?
Thanks!
Thanks for all of the "no, this is how you lose weight" answers, they are helpful too, but right now I am only looking to hear about vegetarianism and good ways to lose and maintain weight with a vegetarian diet.
I did, but only after I fell off the wagon. I did a semester abroad and dropped the veggie thing after while. I gained a lot of weight. I lost it all after going vegetarian again and watching my intake of refined carbs, plus adding exercise.
Vegetarianism certainly can help you lose weight if you are choosing sensible alternatives to meat.
I just ate normally and continue to do so. I mean, my "bad" diet was abnormal. If you’re looking to lose weight, quadruple the amount of water you eat and double the amount of fresh produce. Eat the veggies and fruit (especially raw) before anything else. Then stop eating when you’re no longer hungry.
