Any vegetarians? Lacto vegetarians?

You'd think it would be easy to lose weight without all the meat and such but it's not. What do you eat, How do you make it interesting and still low cal?

I'm veg - but not trying to lose weight...if anything, I'm trying to gain. Anyway, if you're still eating dairy - you're going to have a hard time cutting the fat/losing weight. (I'm not saying to go vegan...just cut some things out - I still eat things with butter, but I use soy milk instead of regular milk - again, more for health - not to lose.)

People think vegetarians eat healthily and thus should be skinny or lose weight. I can tell you there are plenty of very unhealthy foods that vegetarians can eat!

That said, I am a vegetarian and I just recently lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks. I eat less but more frequently, I eat lots of veggies. I stay away from dairy as much as possible (though I am not a vegan). I drink plenty of water. And I work out A LOT.

I have always done those things, none of it helped. What got me going is cutting the carbs. I still eat them, just not as many.

Good luck!
