Does a vegetarian diet help you with quick diet loss?  Research states that people who follow a vegetarian diet have, on the whole, a lower body weight compared with non-vegetarians.   Does switching to a vegetarian diet guarantee weight loss or is this another quick fix diet.

Well apparently not – its all about eating a healthy well balanced diet and not having huge portions.  Even vegetarians can choose the wrong foods with little or no nutritional value.

If you do decide to look into swapping to a vegetarian diet bear these points in mind;

Foods must be low in fat.

Must provide all the nutrients your body needs.

Include protein especially if you have cut out foods like fish and eggs.  Protein is really good at keeping you full longer.

Make sure you research such a drastic change first and ensure it is correct for you especially if you have been an avid meat eater.  With anything in life it might be best to phase out certain foods slowly instead of one day waking up and saying right “I am now a vegetarian”.  Your digestive system might revolt otherwise.

If anyone has swapped to a vegetarian diet and lost weight please let me know.  I would welcome your comments.

One of the latest diets on the market is the Wu Yi Green Tea diet. Is this another diet that proclaims to be a miracle which will produce quick diet loss?

The key to this diet is the tea which is actually a refreshing drink. The simplest way to explain how it works without going into all its key ingredients is it speeds up your metabolic system , which in turn burns more calories. Voila quick diet loss.

The interesting thing for me was that green tea has long been used as a supplement by people wanting to stay healthier and live longer.

Other claims are;

Stress reduction and anti-aging
Reduce cholesterol and blood pressure
Improve the immune system
Increase energy levels

It has been reported that people have lost ten to twelve pounds a month following this diet. Let me know if you think it works or is it another one of those quick fix diets.
