Weight Loss

  Think about it, have you ever seen a fat vegetarian?
  Probably not. In fact, for most of us, vegetarian is almost
  synonymous with lean and healthy, isn’t it? And when you
  start any diet, what’s the first thing the experts tell you?
  Generally it’s to increase the amounts of vegetables you’re
  eating and to eat limited amounts of meat, especially high
  -fat red meat and pork.

  And what happens when you resume your old eating habits
  Generally the weight will come right back on. Even the
  greatest will-power can’t overcome the unhealthy effects
  of eating high-fat meat.

  When you eat a diet that’s higher in dietary fiber, that’s
  primarily if not totally vegetarian, you’re naturally healthier.
  You’re feeding your body and getting it the nutrition it
  needs to run efficiently. You have more energy and
  stamina; you wake up more easily and more refreshed. It’s
  easier to exercise, because you’re not so weighed down
  by digesting the high fat and excessive protein that comes
  from eating a carnivorous diet.

  Many diets fail because we think of them as depriving
  ourselves of food we love. The trick is to change that
  thinking. There are so many compelling reasons to
  eliminate meat from our diet, so why not forget about
  losing weight? Focus instead on eating healthier, or eating
  in a way that’s in balance with the earth, and that doesn’t
  need to subsist on the suffering of animals. You’ll probably
  find you’ll start to lose weight without even thinking about
  it!

  And when you do lose weight, so many other health risks
  can fall by the wayside as well. You’ll find your blood
  pressure falls into a healthier range and your risk for Type
  II diabetes can decrease. You’ll look better and feel better
  and probably never go back to your old ways of eating!
