How to Lose Weight the Vegetarian Way

Attention vegetarians! It's not your fault for gaining weight even after becoming a vegetarian. You've been misled by too much misinformation about weight loss out there. Now here's the genuine weight loss tips meant solely for vegetarians. Take them, swallow them, digest them, and I promise you'll start seeing results soon.

Good news to vegetarians who are looking to lose weight. Unlike meat-eaters, your body is free from dealing with antibiotic residues and harmful bacteria coming from carcasses. So, you should find yourself burn fat relatively easier and faster with appropriate application of the below vegetarian weight loss tips.

1. Skipping Meals Won't Lose Belly Fat

My overweight vegetarian friend has tried skipping meals hoping to lose more fat. But he ends up gaining more excess fat. Why?

Depriving your body of energy it requires to function properly will cause your body to stock up more calories when you start eating at starvation mode. This is due to the body's natural response to prolonged hunger. To avoid that, skip no meals; eat when hunger pangs strike.

2. Eat More Meals to燣ose Weight

When you take more meals in a day but in smaller portion sizes, you're in fact keeping your body metabolically active throughout the day because your body takes in a continual supply of food gradually over time, instead of getting a gush of energy from food in great amount each from breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Here's how you should consume more meals in order to lose weight effectively - breakfast, lunch and dinner plus 2 snacks in between. Be sure to include fiber-rich foods like vegetables and greens in all meals (where possible) which are low in calories but yet able to make you feel full longer.

3. Take Sugar Off Your Vegetarian Meal Plans

Imagine on one hand you're eating vegetarian weight loss foods, on the other hand you're ingesting weight gain foods that are loaded with refined sugar, the end result? You lose nothing. That being said, quit your refined sugar intake totally. You'll obtain sufficient carbs from food, don't worry.

4. Zero-Calorie Drink to Lose More Fat

No beverages beat water when it comes to stimulating your metabolism and help you shed extra pounds. You might not get used to changing to drinking plain water overnight. Do this - starting today, take 1/2 a glass for 2 days, then on the 3rd day increase to one glass and so on. After 8 days, you should be able to replace your unhealthy beverages with just plain water. If you can make changes within 3 days, by all means.

5. Active Rest Boosts Metabolism

Whatever exercises you do, insert some "active rest" in between. In such context, "active rest" refers to low intensity bout. For example, you can jog (slightly at a higher pace) for 8 seconds, then you step down to brisk-walk for 12 seconds before you get back up to jogging pace. The brisk-walk here is your "active rest", which will rev up your metabolism to help burn large amount of fat.

These 5 tips are just appetizers for you to lose weight the vegetarian way. But they're enough to let you see some amazing results in the next couple of weeks.
