Can eating nothing but vegetables help you lose weight?

Answer 1

Quick is a relative term. Think how long it took to gain that weight. Eating only vegetables, ie going vegetarian, normally helps people lose weight, but you have to watch out for protein deficiencies.

Answer 2

That depends on the vegetables you eat some vegetables have more fat in them then others however most vegetable will tend to cause you to gain less weight then eating meats and dairy goods such as butter cream and cheese. One must keep in mind that if one decides to go vegetarian one must familiarise onesself with the variety of wegetables that are needed for a reasonably balanced diet.

Answer 3

You can eat as many raw vegetables as you want without gaining weight. Aim for a pound a day. You can also eat as many cooked, non-starchy vegetables as you want. Again, aim for another pound per day. Limit cooked, starchy vegetables to one cup per day, and you will lose weight. Also limit fatty fruits like avocado or olives to a couple of ounces per day.

On the other hand, if you want to gain weight, eat lots of cooked, starchy vegetables and fatty fruits like avocado and olives.

Answer 4

' Many vegetarian foods such as vegetarian cheeses and margarine, nuts, seeds and pastry made from flour and vegetarian spreads are relatively high in fat. If you concentrate on these without balancing them out with starchy carbohydrates such as bread, rice, pasta, other cereals, fruits and vegetables, you could find that your weight actually starts to creep up, not down. Simply becoming a vegetarian is not a guaranteed fast route to weight loss. '
Not necessarily, if your calorie consumption exceed your calorie losses you won't loose weight.
Not always. Without meat, your eating habits tend to be magnified.

Curly fries, nachos, Pizza, and ice cream are all vegetarian. If you're already conscientious about your eating habits and keep a healthy diet, you probably won't gain weight. If you already eat fatty meat products, cutting the meat out won't cause you to lose any weight.

This is because meat is actually pretty filling. When I became a vegetarian, as a teen with a family who'd do what they could to stop it, I went from eating burgers and fries to eating fatty, un-filling salads, fries, and shakes in attempt to get full and stay full. Dinners at home were rice and green beans.

While my case is sort of extreme (I wasn't allowed to eat peanut butter Sandwiches because of control issues w/ my mom), I want to stress the point that you could easily gain weight if you don't replace the meat in your diet with other lean protein.

Good sources of the above are vegetarian cheeses, beans, nuts and peanut butter, soy protein, eggs, and I'm probably leaving some stuff out.

It can be a very easy, yummy, and healthy diet if you know what to eat.

If you don't know what to eat, you'll feel hungry and eat more and more carbs, which can cause you to gain weight.
now being a vegetarian myself i have seen a big difference in my weight provided you do exercise regularly the pounds should drop off you
No. If you want to obtain a healthy weight, you must acheive a correct balance between exercise and eating healthily - healthily being a good amount of each food group per day. If you've heard of the food pyramid, use it. That explains it all very simply. If you haven't, Google image it and look at it while you get on a treadmill.

Yes. It cuts lots of fat and cholesterol from your diet.
