I am about 5’7" and 170 pounds. I can’t seem to lose weight on diet plans. I even tried the low carb diets and eating that much meat was just too gross for me. Has anyone tried going vegetarian or vegan to lose weight? Would you have any additional recommendations for this dieting method?
I have many friends who have lost 20 or more pounds just by becoming vegetarian. If they worked out, they’d lose even more.
I went vegetarian just over a year ago and lost 8 pounds "accidentally." I’ve kept it off the whole time (5’6" and 130 lbs now). I think the reason it happened is because by cutting out meat, I was also cutting out the stuff that came with it – french fries, soda, etc.
More importantly, I have more energy, need less sleep and overall feel much better. The best part is my monthly cramps have disappeared (no extra hormones in my system from processed meat!)
The important things to remember are:
Being vegetarian doesn’t mean you can eat bread and cheese all day. You need to limit the high-carb items and eat stuff like natural peanut butter, hummus, black beans, vegetarian chili, etc. Amy’s Organic is an awesome line of soups, burritos, frozen meals, etc. that are reasonably priced and found at almost every grocery store.
Consider keeping seafood in your diet. Salmon and tuna are great sources of protein and amino acids and are really easy to prepare.
Quit drinking soda – even the diet stuff. It’s full of chemicals and crap that makes you crave it more, and many brands of the diet stuff have tons of sodium, which makes you hungry. If you need caffeine (like I do) have coffee or tea.
You should give it a try, like I did. Just tell yourself "for one week" cut out all meat, and see how it goes. You may be surprised by how easy the transition is. Good luck!
P.S. – Exercise too! Even walking 30 minutes a day will make a world of difference.

I believe they aren’t because once you are off the diet pills then you revert back to your old habits of overeating and gain even more weight. Diet pills are costly and aren’t worth the time to look into when in the long run they won’t have been effective. I can’t find any information on the price of diet pills on google or yahoo. & keep in mind this question pertains to my 10th grade research paper. Please, if you respond, make your answer informative, not just a ‘yes’ or no’ answer. Thank you.
I used to be very very fat,It is really terrible to be a fat woman.I do many many exercises,have my three meals in a very healthy way.keep Sugar,fat,meat away .Drink more water ,eat more vegetable and fruit.I keep doing this for about 1 month,until the day I feel weak and even do not want to move my step.But,The result is not as good as what I supposed to be.After that I follow the suggestion from my neighbor,Mrs.Smiths,tried an amazing weight loss pill.

What crash diets could i go on to loose abit of weight in a week?
& im sure someone will write a lecture.. so.. dont waste your time. I’ll just egnore it 
thanks all who answer (and dont give me a lecture)
There’s a diet, commonly called 2468 where you eat 200 calories one day, 400 calories the next, 600 after that, and 800 for the last day, then the cycle repeats.
The diet is used by most people who want to loose weight fast and who want to keep it off. The purpose of it is to keep your metabolism guessing because all it knows is what was consumed the day before and doesn’t know what the future holds.
Of course, like every other diet exercise must still be included. On average a person who abides by 2468 should loose 10 lbs per month

I am tall and thin, but have too fat a belly for my weight. I do not want to lose weight, and am actually trying to gain weight. However, my belly is also expanding as I do this. How can I lose weight in only my stomach and no where else? I have tried exercises targeted for the tummy, but was told I need to burn/melt off the fat first using cardio so the toned muscles will show. How do I melt away the pounds from only my stomach?
theres no such thing as spot reducing (burning fat from one part of the body only)
if you want to lose weight i suggest you cut down on junk food and fizzy drinks in your diet and eventually cut these out. You could also try eating less carbs as these supply vast amounts of energy that is slowly released and if this energy is not used up you will put on weight. I would also advise you not to eat late as this means our body’s store more of the energy as fat as we don’t use that much energy when sleeping.
You should be aiming to get at least 1 hour of cardio a day so i would say to do some running, swimming or cycling. If you chose to cycle then try to stand up while cycling as this tones the thighs more.
Another way to help you lose weight quicker is to boost your metabolism so you burn more calories throughout the day. A good way to boost your metabolism is to get more muscle mass to body fat, to do this do sit-ups, crunches and press-ups if you want get a set of weights and follow the instructions that should come with them. At first you may put on weight as muscle weighs more than fat but keep to it and you’ll look better, Another way is to exercise in the morning as this boosts the metabolism and this falls very slowly which will mean you’ll burn more calories throughout the day.
Hope this helped and good luck

I love my body, but I do have some extra weight I would like to lose. I just want to tone my stomach and my thighs but I want to keep my breasts.
You must know something about weight loss.
A balanced diet and a simple exercise regimen and no it won’t affect your bust.

im trying to lose some weight but no matter how much i diet i still end up gaining so much weight….and yes i exercise everyday for 2hrs….but im still gaining weight…..help plzz
On some occasions dieting and working out simply isn’t the be-all and end-all, as there will be additional weight simply lying around in the insides. It’s not body fat, so it cannot be burned off, however it will be rinsed out, simply by having a diet supplement. http://zilant.freelightpro.info has a risk free offer available currently, I tried it and lost 17 lbs!! Who says there’s no magic bullett? LOL!!!

The acai berry has been recommended by numerous celebrities. 2.

However, the nutrients and antioxidant strength are easily damaged when high pressure and heat are applied, so Abios freeze dries the Acai berries to protect the nutrients and antioxidants. Abios also uses only naturally grown Acai berries, so its products contain no agricultural chemicals.

John Howard is one of the most famous of all cyclists in the world. He has been competing for decades and now has taken his knowledge and counsels other individuals through his company, John Howard Performance Sports. As part of his programs of cycling training John Howard recognizes the importance of supplementing the diet with vitamins & minerals as well as using protein supplements. Since bodyweight is important in cycling, key dietary supplements as well as lean protein supplements are often used. In some cases protein shakes are used as meal replacements if weight loss is desired. Supplements for cycling include all the vitamins and minerals in the proper ratio and potency. John Howard uses formulas exclusively distributed by Phoenix Nutritionals and formulated by The Institute of Nutritional Science. Cycling and all forms of triathlon training require the use of dietary supplements to keep the body performing at peek levels. The benefits of using Whey protein are many. Whey is one of the highest quality proteins and as such is absorbed easily. Whey protein is used by John Howard with all of his clients at every level of participation. Whey protein also supports the immune system as well as assists in lowering cholesterol. When interviewing John Howard, he also mentioned the importance of male cyclists to support their prostate health as they grow older. He uses the Phoenix Nutritionals formula for good prostate health called Prost Aid. Since there is a higher than average incidence of prostate problems among cyclists, John stresses the use of this prostate formula, for all his clients past age 50. John Howard personally uses the supplements from Phoenix Nutritionals and he attributes his energy and performance levels in part, to their use. When his clients study cycling at the John Howard Performance Sports centers, John always educates the students in the importance of Dietary Supplements and cycling. In fact no matter what sport you are pursuing, the use of dietary supplements and sports makes an essential partnership.

They don’t work! Diets and Meds don’t work unless your workout.
Even if they do it’s not going to keep the weight off! It’s more practical to workout!
