Vegetarian Weight Loss Tips to Help Overweight Vegetarians Lose Weight with Eating

     Dieting and exercising are 2 keys to effective weight loss. But as a vegetarian, by sheer eating, you can achieve relatively much greater weight loss effect, if you eat it the right way with quality vegetarian weight loss diet. Here I show you how to eat to maximize your fat loss. Follow them closely and you should see positive feedback from your own body in the next 7 days.

Tip 1 - 5 Vegetarian Weight Loss Meals Daily

Breakfast - snack (morning) - lunch - snack (afternoon) - dinner. Keep an interval of about 2 - 3 hours between meals. If you eat a fiber-rich dinner, your stomach shouldn't growl until the following morning. Stop eating your supper out of habit. Break it now. This way of eating keeps you metabolically active thereby keep burning fat, and yet do not make you feel hungry so easily.

Tip 2 - Leave Your Stomach 70% Full

All your weight loss meals should not make you too full. Your breakfast, lunch and dinner should fill you up to about 70% only. You should receive 30 - 40% satiation from your snacks. But don't waste food. Always ask for smaller portion when eating out.

Tip 3 - Eat Slower to Lose More Weight

Your stomach takes about 10 - 20 minutes to tell your brain whether it's full or not. At times, it may use only 2 minutes to transmit the signal. As such, you should take a 2-minute break midway through your weight loss diet, or eat more slowly to give your stomach enough time to tell your brain about your satiety level. Remember, once 70% full, stop eating.

Tip 4 - Ingest Foods Rich in Fiber and Complex-Carb

Particularly vegetables. They can make your body burn more calories than the caloric content in the food itself during digestion. Take in less processed vegetarian food high in refined sugar, sodium and saturated fat (except coconut oil). These fattening vegetarian foods can hamper your weight loss. Eat more fruits and other whole grains as well to strike a balance in nutrition.

Tip 5 - Add Coconut Oil

Coconut oil should form an important ingredient in your vegetarian weight loss diet because coconut oil will generate a fat-burning response up to 24 hours. This oil will not store in your fat cells easily because it'll turn into energy as soon as it gets absorbed by your body, just like carbohydrate. But choose only virgin coconut oil, bear in mind.

Tip 6 - Get in the Kitchen

Whip up delicious vegetarian meals for weight loss in your own kitchen. You can control the amount of the meal to fit your needs and ensure the quality of the ingredients use at the same time. How cool is that?

Tip 7 - Raw Diet for Effective Weight Loss

Eat more raw foods. Raw foods have been attributed the best diet in the world since you get to absorb most nutrients in its natural form. But if you can't, partial raw is good too, with some minimal sauteing and stir-frying. (Note: Some vegetables such as buckwheat greens and parsnips require steaming or boiling to remove their toxic properties by nature. They won't kill you even if you eat them raw, but they may cause some skin problems or make you sensitive to light.)

Admittedly, relying solely on eating can help you lose weight, but I do encourage you to factor in regular exercises for even better figure and stronger health.
