subject: Vegetarian diet plans for weight loss [print this page] Vegetarian diet plans for weight loss are especially made for people who want to omit meat from their daily menu. Indeed the vegetarian diet proves to be more efficient in losing weight than the usual diet. It promises 10 pounds to lose in a month. Vegetarian diet plans for weight loss include three categories : the vegan diet (completely vegetables), lacto-vegetarian diet (milk allowed), and lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet (milk and egg allowed).
Generally, the vegetarian diet plans for weight loss are about high-fiber food consumption with no meat allowed. It is also suggested that all vegetarian diet plans for weight loss should be accompanied by sufficient proteins, vitamins and minerals by consuming the supplements. For example the vitamin B-12, lack of this vitamin will cause nerve damage, while it is only found in animal products and you can't have it in vegetarian diet, so you should consume the vitamin B-12 supplement. Minerals supplements that our body needs are calcium, iron and zinc.
Vegetarian diet plans for weight loss are proven more effective than other diets because they are least in calories and fats, and rich in fiber. Foods which contain fiber can also make you feel full for a longer period. This is an example of one day's vegetarian diet menu (a 1200-calorie diet).
