I am neither a vegetarian nor a vegan. I eat meat. I just don't eat meat as much as I used to, because meat really does not satiate me. So, I load up on vegetables.

I often find myself eating 1 cup of white rice, a bowl full of vegetables, and a few meat pieces on top. I use water to wash down my meal. I believe a well-balanced diet must include meat; veganism for Homo sapiens is impossible without supplements, which I refuse to use. I stick to whole food ingredients as much as possible. Being of Chinese descent, I eat a lot of tofu and soy products, which in the West, are interpreted as "vegetarianism".

One of my good friends started being vegetarian and wanted to lose weight aswell but she's pretty much the same so far! (5 months or so)
I don't think that meat makes you fat, if anything it helps build muscle mass which increases your metabolism and help lose fat if you don't eat a lot of carbs and exercise. :)

I read an article going lean protein and vegetables can aid in losing fat. Of course, the question is what are you putting on the veggies? A bunch of ranch dressing is not going to make it healthy while olive oil or a bit of vinegar or just some spices can. Combine that with some body weight exercises or HIIT routine, you're bound to tone up.

I have been to India, where the majority of the population are vegetarians. There are an awful lot of women over a certain age who are atrociously fat.

I went raw vegan with juicing for a whole month and I didn't lose weight.  I think you need exercise too if thats what you want. Of course going vegan or vegeterian would be healthier for your body.

I've heard the opposite actually. People have gained weight from becoming vegetarian. Sweets are still on the table and I think people think hey since I'm not eating meat now I'll have a candy bar or some shit like that. Just like anything. If you do it right it will work.

Vegan diets are often healthier and lower in calories so yes, a lot of people do lose weigh by becoming vegan/vegetarian.

Of course having a diet consisting of white bread, pasta, rice and potato chips is an example of a non-animal based diet that would make you gain weight instead though..

If you go healthy vegetarian you would lose weight but if you just cut meat out of your diet, and are still eating junk foods And drinking sugary drinkd then not much will happen. Just ensure you take iron supplements or eat a crap tonne of broccoli.

Sure, people have lost weight going vegan... But then again people have lost weight eating exclusively twinkies, pizza, and other junk food. Control yourself and don't overeat.

I've heard of a couple of people I know losing weight that way. It depends how much meat you eat I think. If you eat meat a lot and most of your calories comes from meat then chances are becoming a vegetarian will probably help. Since a lot of fast food is meat becoming a vegetarian will probably help with that too. It's hard, though. I went vegetarian for awhile but I was so hungry haha. Also make sure you find a way to get protein, I suggest beans or nuts.

general its not a good diet plan.. that being said you also experience thinning hair due to lack of protein your hair will also become frail from this.

When I became vegan for the first time I lost around 10 lbs, but that's because I didn't know how to eat correctly as a vegan. Don't become vegetarian too lose weight. Become vegetarian to protect animals against animal farms/factories.

I didn't become one but I did cut out all red meat and ended up losing 10 lbs very quickly. That's a lot of weight for me, I ended up weighing 100 lbs after I cut those things out

reixun · Answer

Yeah but that's only because I had nothing to eat since my family apparently cooks meat exclusively. That shit didn't last 😂
