It has to be vegetarian but really simple since am bad at cooking, I tried searching for some but they were too complicated and had much calories, could you me list me an easy one?
Thank you!

Make vegetable soup. Always low in calories. Clean and cut into bite size any vegetables you prefer. Place all into a pot with water to cover the veggies. Add onion, garlic ,lemon , parsley , or any seasoning / herbs you like to the pot. Cover and simmer on low for 45 minutes. Serve hot or cold. = )

I’m on a very strict diet, and I’ve recently lost 20 pounds in the past two months (not exactly in a healthy way…), and now I’m on a very strict diet and looking for something different to eat everyday.

I have an extremely low caloric intake (please do not give me rude responses if you happen to disagree with my eating habits), my intake is around 500 a day.

I don’t eat meat, or anything with a high fat/sugar/calorie count.

Recently my daily diet has consisted of spinach, mangoes, blueberries, greek yogurt, lactose/fat-free milk, oatmeal, kashi cereal, green tea, coffee, and rice cakes…

I really would like some sort of recipes or other foods I can add to my diet so I don’t get bored.
If you list somethings I would appreciate it if you could also list the calories.

Thanks a lot. (:
I’m just trying to get 10 more lbs off, btw.

Not only is 500/day unhealthy, it slows your metabolism and makes loosing weight harder.

You have put your body into starvation mode which conserves weight. Not only that – when you do start eating normally, it will cause you to gain weight. You have started to the road to obesity.

Product DescriptionVegetarian Diets for Weight Loss That Stays Off which lower blood pressure and cholesterol are difficult to

find.

Recent studies have revealed some astonishing results in weight loss for women. According to these results

there is a wonderful link with vegetarian diets for weight loss and women. In these studies the results

revealed a substantial difference among the overall health and weight between women on strict vegetarian

diets to those that are not on vegetarian diets. The majority of individuals studied that were not on

vegetarian diets were found to be overweight, and those on the vegetarian diets were of a normal healthy

weight. Studies show that vegetarians are more likely to have a healthy BMI – body mass index – and are less

likely to suffer from obesity, coronary artery disease, some types of cancer, and hypertension.

Six meals in a day ….. easy to say but difficult to prepare! So each recipe is selected firstly on the

basis that it can be done in less than 30 minutes and secondly it is easy.

Critics says Now Eat This is not a complete weight loss program and it encourages the use of artificial

sweeteners.

In this book you will find 140 easy to prepare recipes(nutritional information provided) with everyday

ingredients. All recipes are under 300 calories and can be prepared under 30 minutes. They are low in fat

and naturally low in sugar without using artificial sweetener. You will also find a separate section of 30

recipes with ZERO sugar. By using these recipes and consuming them in the appropriate portion sizes, dieters

can indulge without feeling guilty.

The book is formatted to work well on the Kindle with a working table of contents.

I’m vegetarian and not the best cook.
I’ve looked on a lot of sites but I haven’t really found anything.
Does anyone have any simple low calorie recipes?
Vegetarian doesn’t equal healthy or low calorie.

I agree that vegetarian food does it always equal healthy! It can be just as easy for vegetarians as meat eaters to get into bad habits or over reliance on some foods.

If you want simple, healthy recipes try to avoid processed or fried foods. You can’t go wrong with stir fry, stews, soups and salads – all with a good measure of vegetables, protein and healthy carbohydrates.

For breakfast try porridge with dried fruits and nuts or whole meal toast with bakes beans.

At lunch, mix salad leaves, cucumber and tomato with your favorite beans and bulger wheat. Dress with a dash of olive oil, lemon juice and season.

Or have a generous helping of soup with a whole meal roll. This is so easy to make at home, just add a combination of your favourite vegetables with beans or lentils to water and stock and blitz when soft. Add seasoning, herbs, spices to taste. For example, use onion, carrot, orange lentils, vege stock, cumin and coriander.

Or you can oven roast a butternut squash and veggies of your choice and serve with quinoa, brown rice or bugler wheat. Or make a stew with a tomato sauce and chickpeas.

If you are really limited for time, stuff whole meal pitta breads with hommos and all the salad and olives that you can fit in!

For dinner, make a vegetable stir fry with tofu or beans and serve with brown rice or noodles. There are so many simple and healthy recipes you can find online! I like to use carrot, broccoli, spinach, peppers, bean sprouts and black beans and cook in a wok with garlic, ginger and soy sauce.

Or make a vegetable curry. Just find a recipe with limited or no oil, ghee or coconut milk.

You can also follow a simple recipe to make a vegetable and chickpea stew with moroccan spices to serve with cous cous.

With most of these Recipes I always cook extra and take a portion to work the following day to save time.

Just remember that if you let yourself get hungry you always end up Eating more! So try to have lots of regular snacks of fruit and nuts.

I hope this helps!

I am going on vacation in 3 months, somewhere sunny, and I need to get in really good shape. Like Victoria Secret model kind of shape, or anywhere near there. I am 5′4 129 and a pescatarian ( not meat) I just got a gym membership this is my plan for exercise what do you think?

Cardio- 5/6 times a week, 1 hr ( 700-800 calories)
Yoga- 3/4 times a week- 20-40 mins
Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30/ Killer buns and thighs- 2/3 times a week ( she uses weights so strength training is involved, with lots of squats, and lunges, crunches etc.)

Does this plan sound good? would I be able to lose hopefully 20 pounds by Feb/March???
Do u guys have ideas on where I can get healthy, vegetarian recipes, low calories/carb?
I am not giving up meat for weight loss, I haven’t eaten meat in over 3 years. I am healthy, have regular check-ups, if you are going to answer, you can leave the insults out of it. and thank you, I have been trying to come up with a suitable meal plan and trying to avoid junk food/processed foods

Alexa, the problem with your plan (and I will hopefully steer you towards a better one) are the following:

1. You haven’t structured your meals. Creating a diet that is insufficient in calories consumed vs calories burned is about the only way you will truly lose weight. You need to come up with a breakfast, lunch, dinner, + snack meal plan that will be consistent enough you can eat it every day (or switch up every other day with an equally stringent plan) to maintain your eating.

2. Your workouts, although intense, will likely cause burnout in a few weeks if you do not stagger/build up to certain intensities. If you just dive into 1hr of running on day 1, by the end of week 1, you’ll likely stop due to over exertion. Try starting small, 30mins of running the first week. 35 the 2nd, etc. Also split yoga and running so that one is in the morning, one is at night.

3. Do you have anyone to do this journey with? By yourself you may find you lack motivation to push yourself hard for 3 months. You should enlist a friend, family member, relative, husband, etc to participate and challege you through this. Somebody who will be motivating and be a good record keeper.

4. Take before/after photos to keep yourself on track. Nothing reminds you of how badly you need to work out like a flabby before photo.

But aside from those critiques, it should be possible to reach your goals. 20lbs is fairly modest, even on just a strict diet you should be able to lose 20lbs in 2 months. Exercise and yoga will aide in the weight loss and should help sculpt you a bit better than just becoming skinny.

Good luck on your journey and have a fun vacation!
