Weight Loss Diet: Healthy Eating, Losing Fat and Calories

Losing weight: Diet is the practice of eating in a regulated fashion to achieve a long-term objective. The most common objective is loss of excess body fat. Weight-loss diets restrict the intake of specific foods to reduce body weight. What works to reduce body weight for one person will not necessarily work for another, due to metabolic differences and lifestyle factors. There are lot of quick weight loss products available, but not all of them are efficient. The studies have shown that the best ways to lose weight are keeping a food diary or having a weight loss surgery.

Vegetarian diet: Does it guarantee weight loss?   mayoclinic :: 2007-04-14
On average, people who follow a vegetarian diet eat fewer calories and less fat than nonvegetarians. Vegetarians also tend to have lower body weight. But switching to a vegetarian diet doesn't guarantee weight loss. The basics of a healthy weight are the same for everyone: Eat a balanced diet and limit your portions. Vegetarians can make poor food choices that contribute to weight gain, such as large portions of high-fat, high-calorie foods. Choose a vegetarian eating plan that is low in fat and that provides all of the nutrients your body needs. Be sure to include protein-rich foods, especially if your diet limits fish, eggs and dairy products.

Myths on Vegetarianism Debunked   redorbit :: 2007-02-17
(1) To lose weight, become a vegetarian: Whether you eat meat or exclude all animal products from your diet, the food choices you make determine whether the diet is high, low or well-balanced in calories. Many vegetarian foods such as cheeses and margarine, nuts, seeds are high in fat. (2) A fat-free diet is good for you: A completely fat-free diet is impossible to achieve and not good for you. Dietary fats are needed to carry fat soluble vitamins. (4) It is always better for you to eat vegetables raw: Some pulses such as red kidney beans contain natural toxicants, which, if the beans are not cooked, can lead to sickness.

High IQ linked to vegetarian diet   medicalnewstoday :: 2006-12-18
A study has found that having a high IQ as a child is linked to being a vegatarian as an adult. The research was conducted because of the growing body of scientific evidence showing that a vegetarian diet is linked with lower levels of cholesterol, blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity. Scientists want to know what influences people to become vegetarian. The researchers define vegetarianism as "the practice of living wholly on vegetable food, with or without dairy products, honey and eggs". According to the Vegetarian Society, in 1945 there were 100,000 vegetarians in the UK. The latest figure is 4 million.

Vegetarian diet chews up excess flab - Better than low-fat diet   webmd :: 2006-11-24
Researchers have found that people who stuck to a vegetarian diet for at least one year lost more weight than those on a low-fat diet. And they shed more excess flab than those who didn't stick with the meatless plan. Also, levels of LDL "bad" cholesterol dropped after six months on the vegetarian diet. Researchers were concerned that people wouldn't stick to the veggie meal plan, but that did not prove to be the case, at least during counseling. "Giving up meat is a huge, difficult change for Americans. 1/3 of participants didn't want to be on the vegetarian diet at the start of the study."
