Not necesarily. here's a minor misconception. You can lose weight as a vegetarian. But if you eat vegetables floating in oil, even if it's vegetable oil, (Ex french fries) you won't lose weight.

Not necessarily.
Some 'vegetarians' only avoid eating meat, chicken, etc. but still load up on tons of junk food.
They're only avoiding animal products, not trying to get healthy.
Traditional 'old school' vegetarians would lose weight, but then again, they wouldn't be overweight to begin with.

If you want a low fat diet, fruits, veggies and beans are the way to go. Vegetarian meat substitutes and dairy products have a lot of fat.

in all probability. i'm a vegetarian, and there are the two no energy or next to no energy in lots the meals I consume. The veggie warm canines I consume have much less energy than a peppermint. That is going for the veggie Beaverbrook too. And meat substitutes style stable too. I tricked my cousin into eating a veggie burger, and he or she did no longer even word it wasn't genuine meat. Being a vegetarian is somewhat healthful. Vegetarians have longer life spans than those that consume meat, and that they are much less in all probability to get arthritis. in case you do no longer believe me, you're able to do analyze. stable success!

probably...but if you think becoming vegetarian will miraculously shed off the pounds, I wouldn't count on it...YOU have to make the effort to lose weight.

Not necessarily.
And anyway, why suffer? Do you really want to give up juicy chicken fillets, fried salmon, Sunday roast, chili con carne....
Exercise instead, or eat less fat and sugar!

Only if you reduce your calories. Overall, I'd say your chances are good you'll see a difference in your chemical balance, howeer, if you are considering this as a means for weight loss, increase exercise, cut back calories.
