Do u lose weight when you become vegetarian?

Answer 1

Lots of good answers so far. I'm Vegan, and I've lost heaps of fat from my starting weight. I started out just deciding to go veg, and once I did, i found i had heaps more energy, which helped me build will power to do more exercise, and it spiralled up. before veg, I'd been spiralling down into the gutter for years, and although recently I've come to an impasse regarding my weight loss (my weight has stablised, but i'm still a little overweight), before I started I was obese, depressed and lethargic. Now I'm more alive than ever.
Going Veg*n is not just about human health. The 4 other most common reasons for people becoming veg*n are the environment, human rights, animal rights and animal welfare, but I won't go there. Check my sources if you want more info.
Almost every reputable medical or scientific study ever conducted has said that to improve health, one should increase vegetable intake, and reduce animal intake. In other words, go veg*n, and go veg*n. losing weight and fat are not be the only positive reasons for going veg*n either. You can reduce your risk of contracting almost every disease, illness, ailment or condition known to man, as the single most common cause of all physically unhealthy situations are dietic related. What you put in you get out.
ask any spokesperson of the animal consumption industry to provide hard evidence that their products are good for health, and compare their response with that of the corresponding spokesperson for the vegetable matter with similar nutritional value. I DARE YOU! there is a safer, healthier, enviro-friendlier, more compassionate, usually more efficient, and usually cheaper veg*n alternative to every animal product that exists today, from prawns to steak, from leather to wool.
When you decide to go veg*n, speak to people who have been veg*n for some time, particularly those who still appear healthy. Some veg*ns are deficient in vital vitamins and protiens, and this lacking is the primary reason new veg*ns revert after a short time. I appear healthy and normal, and I'm in my 6th year of being Vegan, which means no meat, egg, dairy, honey, animal clothing or tools, and I've just finished undergoing a round of pathology tests by doctors that prove all my bodily functions are better than normal in all cases, especially cholesterol and blood-sugar levels.

Do you lose weiht when you become veg*n? YES!, I WENT FROM 115 KG TO 90 KG IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS, I'M NOW HOVERING AT 80 AND PLAN TO BE AT 75 BY CHRISTMAS. I STAND 175 CM TALL AND AM NOW 24.
GO VEG ASAP!

Answer 2

Actually, I gained weight from becoming a vegetarian. I eat too much pasta and carbs. So sometimes being a vegetarian is not always a good thing. Now that I put the weight on, I can't get it off.

Answer 3

The majority of vegetarians are quite slender. It really all depends on the vegetarian, like what else do they do in life. Do they stay active? Do they drink alcohol? Are they sedentary? Has weight been an issue in the past or in there family?

But typically, when you cut meat out of your diet and do other healthy activities, yes you do lose weight.

Answer 4

Pavithralna...had a very profund answer above,

I just wanted to add that be warned, my friend actually gain a lot of weight when he become an vegetarian, he did it to follow buddist disciplines, then he felt hungry all the time, because he can't eat meat.....so he eat lots of cheese and Carbon hydrates, then he put on 10kg in a month time! Finally he quit being vegetarian.

Answer 5

Well ! I don't think you loose weight after becoming a vegetarian you just stop gathering up excessive weight because you cut down on proteins !
Remember we can lead a healthy life without Meat, but we cannot lead a healthy life without vegetables !
Take Care and God Bless !

Answer 6

Yes and No.

Lean Meat is great for Iron intake as well as your heart. Chicken is full of protien so is tuna/salmon/fish.

Vegetarians eat a lot of pastas, grains and carbs. I would say that a vegetarian would need to exercise more to ensure all of those carbs don't cling to your butt and thighs!

Answer 7

Not necessarily. Vegetarians eat alot of grains and breads. These are full of carbs. If not balanced properly with plenty of exercise and eating fruits and fresh vegetables, the carbs get stored as fat. There has to be a balance.

Answer 8

I lost about a stone in the first month but then tapered off. I think it would really depend on your diet and what you eat or not eat.
Make sure you get yourself a balanced diet before going vegetarian.

Answer 9

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
