Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hello Everyone! Just wanted to quickly introduce myself. My name is Gabriela and I have been a vegetarian for three years now. I do eat dairy products though. I mainly joined this group to learn more and hopefully get some much needed guidance. I am having a hard time figuring out what to eat if I want to lose weight. I am on the go and do not like to cook too much. I need ANY tips, diets, helpful links on how I can lose weight as a vegetarian. Any info is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Mainly eat a large variety of veggies, nuts, whole grains and fruit along with lots of water. Prepare them in healthy ways and greatly reduce the high fat foods. Check out the files on this list. Folks share great recipes all the time and they are filed in different catagories in there everyday. Start experimenting with new foods and start cooking. That way you know what is going into what you make and you can make all kinds of great foods to enjoy. Many drinks out there have tons of calories in them and the sugar free are not good for you. Water is the best beverage of all, what our body needs most of and has zero calories naturally. Save those calories for high fiber foods that really stick to your ribs and keep you regular. Whole grain foods are expecially good at filling you up, without a lot of calories. Make frozen fruit smoothies, eat granolas and other healthy cereals. We love the Bare Naked Granola's mixed with the Breyers Fruit on Bottom Yogurts or Stoneyfield Yogurts just stirred together with no milk added. Get out and start moving/exercising, get fresh air and sunlight, plenty of rest, live a life full of gratitude and joyfullness. I wish you great success. The older we get the harder it is for any of us to loose weight, but if you can increase your metabolism with exercise it helps greatly. Plus exercise increases your endurance, flexibility and muscle tone. I love water aerobics, playing basket ball and volley ball, short bike rides with my family, hiking and yard work. Lifetime TV channel has Denise Austin workouts every morning in 2 half hour episodes from 6-7a.m. CST. I need to get up and do those more regularily.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 hi gabriela and welcome to the group! lots of fresh fruits and vegetables are great for losing weight. they are low in calories and full of vitamins and minerals. fresh salads and vegetable soups with each meal will help you fill up without too many calories. for me, limiting sugar, dairy, and wheat intake helps me lose weight too. hope you enjoy it here, susie --- Gabriela Vidou <gabrielavidou wrote: > Hello Everyone! > > Just wanted to quickly introduce myself.
