Not necessarily.  Nor is it necessary to go totally vegitarian - i.e. vegan - in order to lose weight.  You don't have to cut out milk and cheese entirely, either.  There are cheeses with a very low level of lactose and there is lactose-free milk.  However, eliminating those, too, is perfectly okay if you wish to do that. \n\nYou'd probably do yourself a great deal of good by cutting way, way down on the amount of red meat you eat.  At least five servings of fruits and veggies a day is recommended by us health professionals, and if you want to cut back on the meat in favor of more veggies and fruit, that's probably okay too.  Just don't forget that its total calories that count in weight loss, not the source of the calories.  Yes, what I'm saying is, you can get fat on a vegitarian diet!  \n\nYour best bet is to talk to your doctor and get a referral to a registered dietician who can help you plan healthy meals that will help you in a weight loss effort.  And get a referral to a physical therapist too, who can help you with the other essential to weight loss - a good exercise program.  \n\nHey - it's good that you care enough about yourself to want to achieve a healthy weight.  Be patient and stick with it.  \nGood luck.

you could become vegetarian. It isn't hard, i turned vege when i was 10 and am now vegan 7 years later. it has been proven to be healthier for your body, your heart, the animals and the environment and economy. You can snack all day on nuts and fresh fruit and veggies and stuff, also, a citrus friut first thing in the morning has been proven to kickstart your metabolism. Cardiac workouts are best, try going for a jog for 30mins 3X a week, or a bike ride for 45mins. Good luck.

Why do you want loose weight?  Tight weight looks much better.  Could it be you would like to lose weight?

Hi.  Vegetarians eat other proteins - legumes, whole grains, and milk products (yogurt, milk, tofu, etc.)\n\nIf you want to stay full longer, include a protein with each meal.  If you want to feel full longer in the morning and still want your regular cereal, have an egg white omlet with it or some yougurt. \n\nSame thing with dinner - include some kind of protein - include whole wheat, beans, or even a glass of milk with your dinner will help.

Maybe, but its not a good idea. You most likely will gain the weight back plus some because you have deprived yourself of the things you like most. Not to mention that tuna is only protein and your body needs some carbs and fat. \n\nThe best way to loose weight is to make the decision to make a lifestyle change and set some obtainable goals. Get out and walk, or join a gym, or get an exercise ball and video and work out at home. Eat sensibly. Include fruit, vegetables and meats in a well rounded meal plan. The water is a great idea. Cut out sodas, and any other sugary snacks. Go for whole grain, high fiber. Eat like a king for breakfast, a prince for lunch and a pauper for dinner. Don't eat after 6 pm, and get a subscription to a magazine that helps remind you of your goals. \n\nRemember slow weight loss (2 pounds a week) is better for you. When you loose weight at that rate, you give yourself time to adjust to the new eating/workout habits and your be able to stick to it longer - or better yet - for life. \n\nGood luck!

Really; this is probably fairly safe - who can tell, there are so many poisins in the owrld. However, it will not be effective when trying to loose weight. It simply binds to water nd fat, making you feel artificially bunged up/full and taking away all the good fats you eeat in your diet. you should just eat less and excercise more. Unless you really wanna look like a model/arnie swarzneggar in which case you should go see a proper gym person who will really give some roids or something, or amph etc.

Being a vegetarian has many health benefits. I found an article relating to this topic written by a vegetarian Mormon himself. \nhttp://www.vegsource.com/articles/cantano_review.htm

yes. They can loose weight too.  If you are gaining weight look at what you are eating...Maybe you're having sugar cravings caused by the medication, talk with your doctor, maybe he/she can prescribe another medication that won't cause you to gain weight.   Try to exercise everyday.  It will improve your mood....

The Low Carb diet is not really good for you.  If you want to loose weight you got to start by having a balanced high water content diet.  That means more vegi and fruit, a lot less refined carb and high fat food.  Your health demand that you have balanced foot intake and moderate exercises.

Well, Fruit is awesome but you also need some protein and veggies.  Here is a good diet that helped me loose weight:\nBreakfast:  1 bowl of fiber cereal 1/2 cup of fruit and water.\nLunch: 1 bowl of fiber cereal, 1/2 cup of fruit and water.\nDinner: lean chicken/turkey, 1/2 cup of veggies, or anything that is healthy for dinner will work.

As an answer to your question:\nMajority they can. Some people with low metabolism (have been on low calories intake for long, not exercising, or have thyroid problems) may not.\n\nHowever, the loosing in your case will be very slow because you have nothing to loose.\n\nYour BMI is 23 which is perfect, why do you want to loose weight?

You do NOT need meat in your diet, contrary to what some others have said. I haven't eaten meat in 13 years and I'm still alive!\nYou do need to make sure you get enough protein. Veggie burgers, tofu, and other faux meat products are all great sources (check the veg seciton of your grocery store--there are lots of veggie meats to choose from!). Make sure you're eating your veggies, fruits and whole grains. Drink plenty of water!\nA pound of fat is worth 3500 calories...Sooo if you exercise off 500 calories a day, you can lose 1 pound a week (that's a lot of exercise and it may take you a while to work up to it). Cut your food calories back to like 1200 a day (dont go below this or you'll slow down your metabolism) and you can probably lose a second pound every week. I don't know if you can lose 80 pounds in 7 months...If you do what i've described, 50 should be no problem though.\nGood luck!

The best way to improve your health and loose weight, or keep it, is thru exercise and a regular diet, what works for me is keeping a food dairy, because most of the time we eat just because is there, and overeat. Try it, it may work for you too.

It is a mistake to believe that either of those methods will help you loose weight or be healthier.  You need to see a dietician and get a balanced diet based on your very own situation.  No single method can work for every one.\n\nMy dietician asked me questions about what I eat and what I like. She measured and weighed me to determine my "frame".  She then explained the whole food into energy process with a simple diagram, and created a diet just for me, with all the foods I like, in the proper amounts.

There are no health reasons which has kept me vegetarian. Earlier it used to be the insistence of my parents to be vegan, since in our religion it is necessary. Also, I feel that "If I do not have the power to give life to a animal whenever I desire, I do not have the right to kill the same for my existence". This belief has kept me vegan ever since I have come to my proper senses (i.e., after I was 16 and partially independant to make my decisions on certain issues). I do not regret any moment, niether do I intend to change the people around to switch to being veggie, because its their choice anyway. So thats my reason of being a veggie, and by the way, I AM LOVING IT !!!!
