How to Lose Weight for Vegetarians

With the introduction of high fat/high protein diets loaded with meat and dairy products, the days where a vegetarian diet was looked at as healthy are long over. The truth is, it is possible to keep a vegetarian diet and drop unwanted pounds. Many people don’t realize how rich in protein and nutrients a non-meat diet can actually be. I am going to outline what I did to lose 75 pounds in 10 months. In addition to the diet portion of my program I did a fair amount of time on the treadmill and stationary bike, as well as a moderate weight lifting program. Beware of diets that claim rapid weight loss--in my experience the quicker you lose the weight, the sooner it will creep back on.
