Hey out there, and for anyone new to my site, welcome to Vegetarian Weight Loss Diet.
My name’s Carol, and I’m here to help inform as many people I can about great incredibly healthy vegetarian weight loss diets.
I wasn’t always, slim, fit, and healthy though, as you can imagine. I used to be quite overweight, and incredibly unhealthy. I was lethargic almost all day, every day, mostly due to my horrible diet. I also had a horrible body image, low self-esteem, and was on the road to depression.
When I moved out of my parents’ house at the age of 18, I had to learn how to cook on my own. Well you see, I was too lazy to do that, and started to eat lots and lots of fast food… and I gained lots and lots of weight very quickly. I had to buy new clothes to fit my bigger body, and my energy levels plummeted… I felt horrible overall.
I soon had enough… why was I doing this to my body?! I started to educate myself about diet and nutrition… it was a long journey. When the Atkins diet craze came out a couple years ago I gave that a shot… but guess what… it’s a HORRIBLE diet if you want to lose weight AND stay healthy. The Atkins diet uses a lot of high fat, artery clogging foods.
What I learned through educating myself was the power of vegetarianism… how putting the stuff grown naturally on this earth of ours is the best thing possible for you. No processed foods… no artificial chemicals… those are poisons for your body! And with all the hormones they put in animals these days you might as well be eating the hormones yourself… ugh… the meat industry is one digusting industry… and seeing videos of how those poor animals are treated makes me sick.
I realized vegetarianism was the way to go. What is grown naturally on this earth is what you’re SUPPOSED to be putting in your body… it’s what humans evolved on! Eating healthy (and exercising) can cure and prevent so many of the problems that plague humankind today… diabetes… cancer… arthritis… heat disease… and so on. The nourishment in fruits, vegetables, beans etc… they can do wonders for you!
Anyway… so I started to look for healthy vegetarian diets to start to get my life back. I tried a few… they were pretty blegh… pretty bland food I must say. I tried making up my own recipes, and that didn’t work much better, hehe. Also, I didn’t know how to get enough of what my body needed… how much protein do I need? What vegetarian foods are the best for this? What are some INTERESTING and TASTY recipes?
Well I soon found this incredible website which was the answer to all my problems. It was a vegetarian weight loss diet site with some fantastic info on it. It was a GREAT vegetarian diet plan that told me exactly what I needed to know… what vegetarian foods were the best for what… how much I needed to eat… great recipes… and so on.
I started preparing tasty meals I found on the site right away. To my surprise, they were actually easy to make, cheap, and tasted great. Only a week or two later I started to feel great… my energy levels were WAY up… I woke up in the morning and WANTED to get out of bed… and was peppy for most of the day.
The bonus… I lost weight of course, hehe… 50 lbs to be exact… and I’m now at my ideal body weight. I now feel sick thinking about what I used to eat… greasy fast food… lots of meat… hardly any fruits or veggies… I was killing myself, and was on a fast track to getting diabetes, heart disease, cancer… and who KNOWS what else.
So that’s my story folks… and there’s a little more info below for anyone who’s interested.
If you’re in the same situation I was, please do something to change your life… we have enough disease in this country as it is… so get healthy!
