Becoming a vegetarian will not help you lose weight or gain weight. the only way to lose wt. is to burn more calories than you take in. Get a book on being a vegetarian and find the best way to get your protein and fruit and veggies plan a menu and follow it start a exercise program and in a few weeks you should see a difference

You will lose weight if you ate lots of animal products high in fat and then stop consuming them. I didn't lose any weight after becoming vegetarian from the foods, but I became more healthy and had more energy and more efficient workouts so I gained muscle and nice tone (didn't need to lose weight).
As everyone else says, losing weight is more of a product of consuming less calories total rather than where your calories come from.

Loosing weight means reducing your caloric intake and raising your metabolism. Vegetarianism has nothing to do with it. It may be a healthier way to eat and if you choose to become a vegetarian for the health aspect then it may also reinforce your commitment to loosing weight.

Becoming vegetarian doesn't forcefully make one lose weight if he consume fatty foods, but suppose you intake boiled food, controlled diet, you may notice a change in one or two weeks itself.

If you want to lose weight then you should try typical diet and exercise. Vegeterianism isn't a magic wand.
