Vegetarian?

Question

I'm really trying to lose some weight and eat healthy. I've been eating meat since as long as I can remember. But I want to become a vegetarian, any ideas of what my new dinner should look like instead of salads and fruits.

Answer

I don't recommend vegetarianism unless it's a stepping stone to true veganisn. Vegetarianism will probably do nothing for your weight or health, because dairy and eggs are completely terrible for your health. It's also arguably more cruel to animals than just eating their flesh, because procuring milk and eggs involves horrible practices like animal rape, baby theft and murder, and tortuous devices used to extract milk. As a vegan who doesn't eat many processed foods I'm able to eat lots but I maintain at a nice low weight. 😊 Tonight for dinner I had hashbrowns mixed with black beans with broccoli on the side, seasoned well. My husband had Beyond Meat burgers (available at Walmart) and tater tots. We had almond chocolate ice cream for dessert! I had raisin bran with chopped bananas, flax seeds and almond milk for breakfast! For snacks I eat nuts, fruit, rice cakes and hummus, and tons of other stuff. There are SO MANY options out there. Google "list of vegan foods" and be amazed, the list goes on forever! You can totally do this, it's the best choice I ever made for my health and for animals! It even helped regulate my cycle!

Answer

I was raised vegetarian and the amount of times I've been asked 'what do you actually eat' is ridiculous! Pretty much exactly the same as what everyone else eats just without the meat! All meals can be made without meat just add some more vegetables/beans/tofu to replace it. However if your only doing this to lose weight it's not going to help. If suggest clean eating instead! Cut out the dairy, wheat and sugar. When I diet I usually stick to a green smoothie with coconut water for breakfast, salad with lean grilled chicken or fish for lunch (lemon juice for dressing) and usually a light vegetarian meal for dinner. Light snacks such as vegetable sticks or nuts are okay but only if you're actually starving. Portion size is key and water should be all your drinking, and alot of it!  From personal experience I loose about 4 kgs in a week which is great because I only have to diet for a week! lol if you're overweight you'd probably lose more 😊

Answer

Vegetable lasagne, veggie stirfrys, quinoa and veggie salad, fried rice without the chicken and bacon, omelettes, pasta, veggie burgers , te choices are endless! I recommend going on Pinterest and searching vegetarian recipes, there's soooo many yummy recipes on there that are also healthy

Answer

If you just want a small meal, any kind of egg dish with some tomato and toast is a pretty healthy option, and egg is high in protein so a good substitute for meat x
