Apple Cider Vinegar Weight Loss

Currently I eat everything. I love fruits, veggies, nuts, and meat. I am a animal lover but I really don’t have any moral or ethical issues with being a carnivore. I guess I try not to think about the slaughter and such. Anyway, I would like to know if I feel physically and maybe emotionally better eating a diet without meat. Any insights on how long I will feel the benefits? Thanks in advance!

There’s no hard and fast rule as to how quickly you will notice results, if at all. In fact, some people’s health gets worse. But if you adopt a vegetarian diet for the right reasons, and do your homework on what to put into the giant hole you’ve created in your diet by refusing meat, and make a conscious choice to eat what you choose to eat instead of what looks and tastes nice just as long as it complies with the vegetarian rules, and eat the things you know are good for your health and wellbeing, if you do this then you should notice results in a remarkably, surprisingly, SHOCKINGLY, short period of time. I started noticing differences in energy levels and attention and breathing and strength within HOURS of beginning my new diet, and I’ve been vegan for almost 7 years now.

Hi, I’m Kardena Pauza from www.KardenasKitchen.com

Today were going to talk about soaking sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, nuts, flaxseeds and all sorts of good things. I get a lot of questions about how to soak them, but first I want to explain why this is so important. I have these items in my food plans because they are packed full of nutrients. When you soak them, you will get more nutrition benefits from them. Soaking them releases the enzyme inhibitors and they become enzyme active which helps your body absorb and digest the nutrients. This will give your cells about 300% more nutrients which will give you more energy!

I use these on a regular basis for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner and they are very versatile as well. They are packed with healthy oils, fats and lipids that your body needs.

Were going to soak the flaxseeds. You cant drain the water off of them, so well pour them into a glass bowl and add water. Each seed soaks for a certain amount of time. You want to add double the amount of water to seeds. The flaxseeds will absorb all of the water, so you will end up with a gel around them which is normal. You need to soak them about 8-12 hours. Once they have been soaked, they are ready to use. You can put a scoop in your smoothies or add them to your breakfast. These are really high in fiber which is going to help absorb excess toxins and fat in your body. They will clean you out.

Next, are sunflower seeds. I will soak them in a jar with a sprouting lid on top. I will sometimes mix pumpkin seeds with the sunflower seeds and use them for a burrito pâtés and I will even use them for my breakfast. Add enough water to cover the seeds and come up about 1-2 inches above the top of the seeds. Put your sprouting lid on and leave it on the counter at room temperature. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds need about 12 hours of soaking to sprout. Rinse them after 12 hours and put fresh water and then put them in the refrigerator. They will need fresh water.

Almonds are a bigger seed, so they will need to soak longer (about 24 hours). You want to rinse them after 12 hours. If you soak them, start soaking them in the morning, dump the water out in the evening and put fresh water in and let them sit in an open container so they have oxygen. Soak them overnight and in the morning, dump the water out and put fresh water in and then you can store that in the refrigerator.

If you dont have a sprouting lid, you can pour the seeds into a Tupperware bowl. Just shift the lid away from the edge and pour the water out through the gap to hold the seeds back.

Here is a great little trick that I use when I travel and take seeds with me. If Im going through the airport, I’ll dump the water out and put the Mason jar lid back on top and put the sprout lid over that. It seals up completely and I have a power packed, nutrient rich, high fiber and protein ready to go to be used for anything (breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner).

I have been a Vegetarian for like 2 years now, but i don’t think have really been eating that healthy. I do exercise(i ride horses everyday!). I am kind of a picky eater(i don’t like spicy foods, or a lot of different kinds vegetables, but I do love brocolli(fav food) ) I am overweight I am 5’3" and like 170. I’d really like to find a way to shed pounds while staying a veggie. Most of the diets involve meat and aren’t veggie friendly. So does anyone have any weight loss diets that are vegitarian. Also any recipes and tips would be very helpful.
I do eat a lot of pasta.
I don’t wanna come off mean but anyone who thinks horseback riding is easy is wrong. you try riding no stirrups for an hour 3 times a week, then try and tell me it is easy. Also hauling hay and manure is hard work too.

1) Cut out the sugar (cookies, cakes, ice cream, any sweets, and fruits — for a couple of weeks, anyway)

2) Cut way down on fats (butter, oil, etc.)

3) Cut down on carbs/starches (eat only whole-grain — and a small portion!) (Note: bananas have a lot of carbs! Strawberries and other berries don’t!)

4) It wasn’t clear whether or not you eat eggs and dairy.

If you eat dairy, cut down on cheese (and only eat low-fat), have low-fat milk, stop eating ice cream (or only do it once a month).

If you eat eggs, don’t eat the yolks.

5) If you cook, don’t cook with butter (instead use a little olive oil). Best cooking method is steaming.

6) If you have trouble with portion control, eat a big salad at every meal before eating. And make your own salad dressing! Many have added sugars. (Oil & vinegar is best/simplest. Or just a spritz of good balsamic vinegar — I like the one from Costco that’s about $20, but super yummy).

7) Fill up on fiber! (That comes from salad.) Then you’ll feel full.
Use herbs and sauces (watch out for sugars — read the labels!) to enhance veggies. Just because you don’t like spicy doesn’t mean you don’t get to have different flavors. (Try jarred sauces, reading the labels for added sugars to avoid. Trader Joe’s has a variety of "simmer sauces" that you can cook food in that adds wonderful flavor — like the garam masala, which is not spicy.)

9) Don’t forget to take your vitamins! Make sure you get enough protein.

10) Applying what you like to different dishes can improve the variety of your diet. For example, cooking in an "Italian style", you could heat 1 TBS. olive oil in a skillet, add chopped garlic, add a chopped favorite veggie, stir a few minutes, and if it’s not cooked enough for you, add wine/water/veggie broth and cover for a few minutes to steam. Or you could add tomatoes and herbs like basil and finish the cooking that way.

If you like tomato sauce, what you can do is make a tomato sauce (olive oil, garlic, a bit of onion, ground tomatoes), then add fresh veggies (chopped) as you like.

11) A last bit of advice: be adventurous! Eat something new every week. Who knows, you may discover a different veggie that will be a wonderful alternative to broccoli!

Good luck!

i got an answer on here about losing weight and i got several saying a omnivore diet is healthier and would promote weight loss. lets say i didn’t eat fatty meat just leans as an omnivore. who you say a vegetarian or an omnivore diet is better for weight loss?

this summer while all of yall in your bikini’s and wat not i’ll be burning all this crap off. but i need some tips, i also decided to go vegetarian so any sites for vegetarians, weight loss, diets, yoga or watever you might suggest w/o the smart @ss comments would be much appreciated thanx

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast – they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner – repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Do vegetarians make up for the meat by eating more sugar; therefore, weight loss is not the norm as what I’ve been told? I’m thinking about trying it for several reasons besides weight loss…detoxing from meat and its additives, antibiotics etc., not to be part of society’s demand on animal slaughter and general health and well being.
I would appreciate to hear from all vegetarians and the best way to go into it – slowly, eliminating red meat first etc. What, if any, de-tox symptoms could develop that would be temporary but not a bad sign.

It is possible to lose weight on a vegetarian diet, but simply going vegetarian does not mean you will automatically lose weight. When I became a vegetarian, I gained weight because I ate too many carbs…

Just make sure you are getting enough protein, but watch the carbs. A lot of vegetarian protein supplement items are high in carbs so its a bit tricky…but I did eventually end up losing weight. I like to get my protein from more naturaly souces instead of like protein bars and shakes…I just add some nuts and stuff to my salads…and have some kind of tofu or something with dinner…

if i’m not eating meat and i’m not eating bread (and fish only a few portions per week), what will i eat?

You can definitely try vegetables, fruits, dairy and things like beans that have lot of protein. I am not sure if you eat eggs, but if you do egg whites make good breakfast. I wouldn’t recommend a complete boycott of carbohydrates as your brain and red blood cells use carbohydrate as the primary source of energy. You can try whole wheat or whole grain products to stay full longer, to get more protein and fiber. Limit the use of fat, try to ger more proteins and some carbohydrates to keep you going.

Is there any data on weight-loss for people that followed a vegetarian / vegan diet, compared to those who eat lots of meat / high protein? I have heard varying reports of what is better in terms of weight loss and know most of the facts. Are there any articles / data to substantiate either argument?
I’m not looking for diet advice. I’m healthy, fit and exercise regularly. Just looking for anything that supports either argument.

There is no difference.

It is the amount you eat that is the real factor.

I am a fat vegetarian. I have a high protien diet.

good luck!
