Being a vegetarian for over 10 years, I now need to lose some of the weight i’ve put on in this time. Unfortunatly I must be eating an unblalance diet as i see plenty diets but most are for meat eaters none for us veggies. Any ideas for a good healthy Vegitarian weight loss program ?
The same one that applies to omnivors: eat less, exercise more.
Visit http://www.greenivore.net Join in an upcoming class taught by Gourmet Raw Vegan Chef Dina Knight or come to the raw spirit festival and see her on sunday sept 14th in Sedona AZ. This video was made to tell a little bit about how Chef Dina Knight got started on a path to health and wellness, what her initial inspirations were, how she saw the differences between sick care and wellness. This video is a personal look into her life that so many other people are experiencing on a daily basis with their loved ones in the hospital, sick or dying of a preventable “lifestyle” disease. Heart Disease, Diabetes and obesity affect 1 out of every 2 people in the US, it’s time we made a change and started seeing how what we eat, how we live, and what we think will either lead us down a path towards health and wellness or that we can literally dig our own graves with our forks. This is part one of a several part interview of how she ended up with an amazing weight loss of over 115lbs. We hope you enjoy it, please pass this onto a friend, neighbor or loved one who you think might benefit from hearing this message and be sure and subscribe for future videos, also please visit the websites and join our mailing list so we can keep in touch.

I am 21, 5’4" and about 190lbs.
I am looking to lose about 50 lbs in a little over 5 months. I think that this is a healthy weight loss time period.
I am very committed and I am starting to work out. My workouts are lasting about 30 to 40 minutes and consist of:
Monday-cardio
Tuesday-upper body workout
Wednesday-Cardio
Thursday-lower body workout
Friday-cardio
Saturday-combo upper and lower body
I have done weight watchers before and I know that it works, but I am looking to try another method without counting points.
I am thinking of something along the lines of 5 or 6 small meals about 2.5-4 hours apart (depending on when I can actually eat, but not over 4 hours). I have a general idea of what would be a good meal plan, but any suggestions would be great.
Also, I am looking to tone up after I lose some weight. Any specific ideas of exercises to do that fit within my workout plan?
Thanks in advance for the help!!!!
Your workout plan sounds pretty good, here are some nutritional and healthy meal guidelines:
1.Commit to consuming 4 – 6 small meals and snacks everyday.
2.To succeed, you must plan ahead by packing your foods the night before. Thus, you should always have fresh and low-fat foods around.
3.Keep it simple. Don’t get too caught up on the specifics or your diet. Start by simply just counting calories.
4.Eat your foods slower.
5.Make healthier food selections like fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, and beans, low-fat or nonfat dairy products, low fat meats, fish and skinless poultry.
6.Avoid foods that are high in fat and calories.
7.Avoid foods that are high in sugars such as pastries, candy bars, pies and candy.
8.Use a variety of fruits and vegetables in your nutrition plan. Start by trying to eat 5 total vegetable and fruit servings every single day.
Counting Calories Doesn't Work.
You won't lose weight long term using most diets either.
Restricting calories is the worst thing that you can do if you want to burn fat.
It will only send your body into starvation mode and shut down the fat burning mechanism.
You may lose weight at first but then hit a plateau and ultimately gain it all back and more.
Plus you'll make it harderer to lose the weight next time.
