Vegetarian Weight Loss Plan

Vegetarian protein sources include nuts, seeds, legumes (dried beans and peas such as lentils, black beans and garbanzo beans) and soy productssuch as tofu or tempeh.
If you don't use dairy products, choose soy-based alternates for milk, cheese and yogurt. Make sure these products are fortified with calcium, vitamin Dand riboflavin for optimum health.
Be wary of high-fat foods such as cheeses, butter, salad dressing and fried foods.
Drink water as your primary between-meal beverage.
Choose whole grains as much as possible to keep hunger at bay.
Keep a written record of everything you eat and drink to get a better handle on your total food consumption, and identify where you want to make changes.
Plan ahead for meals and snacks so you know exactly what you plan to eat. Last minute choices tend to be higher in calories and lower in satisfaction.
Resist the urge to snack on fried chips, snack crackers and candy. Not only do they add unwanted calories, they don't provide any nutritional bonus either!
Take a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement to fill in any nutritional gaps.
