  Max Power

  A lot of people may know what vegetarian means, but most do not there is more than just one type of vegetarian diet. Some of the most popular vegetarian diets include vegan, lacto-ovo vegetarian, pesco vegetarian, and semi-vegetarian. Vegan diet is by far the strictest of all vegetarian diets in the sense that it doesn’t consume animal products of any kind, not for food, clothing or any other purpose. Lacto-ovo vegetarian doesn’t consume animal meat of any kind including shellfish, but they do consume dairy and egg products. Pesco vegetarian is similar to lacto-ovo vegetarian in most aspects, the only difference in pesco is that it allows the consumption of seafood. Semi-vegetarian is perhaps the most lenient, because it still allows the consumption of meat diets in small amounts, with the exception of red meat.

  Will a vegan diet help me lose weight?

  1 Answer(s)

  Monica Lorica

  A vegan diet helps in losing weight but it does not provide a guarantee that anyone who goes on a vegan diet will ultimately lose weight. There are plant based foods that are rich in fat as well – like avocado. If you eat too many servings of avocados, nuts, and seeds; there is still the tendency to gain weight. The introduction of vegan versions of processed foods is also a factor that negatively affects the weight loss effect of the vegan diet. These vegan versions can also have excess sugar and fat. As with anything else, moderation is the key. Don’t think that you can binge already just because you are on a vegan diet. If you do this, you will gain weight. A vegan diet can help you lose weight if you eat in moderation.

  Is it true that I have to shift to vegan diet gradually and not abruptly?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Monica Lorica

  Yes. While there are some people who have successfully made the shift abruptly, the fact is that most people who try to shift from a normal diet to a vegan diet abruptly find it very difficult to do. The reason is that the body is not yet prepared for a sudden change in the diet. You will always crave for your old diet. If you abruptly cut down from meat, dairy products, and poultry; your body may react negatively. The best way to shift to a vegan diet is to it gradually. One by one remove foods that are not plant based on your diet. Before you go fully vegan, your body is already prepared.

  If I want to start a vegan diet, what foods should I be looking into?

  1 Answer(s)

  Monica Lorica

  A vegan diet is characterised by anything plant based. There is no specific fruit or vegetable that you have to eat. You can combine different fruits and vegetables to create a healthy and delicious vegan diet. Also, there are already vegan versions of well loved foods like hotdogs, ice cream, and cheese. They are made from plant based ingredients but they mimic the taste of these foods. You don’t have to miss their flavours if you intend to start a vegan diet.

  Monica Lorica

  Strict vegans don’t include any fish and poultry in their diet. In fact, they also don’t take anything that has ingredients derived from animals. However, there are people who consider themselves as semi-vegans or semi-vegetarians. There are still instances when they eat fish and poultry; however, they seldom do it. They still prefer fruits and vegetables but once in a while they give in to their craving for fish and poultry.

  Will I lose weight if I go on a vegetarian diet?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  Just because a diet is vegetarian doesn’t mean its low-fat or fat free. It depends on how you eat overall as well as to how you prepare your food. If you’re on a vegetarian diet but you deep fry a lot of your meals and you binge on nuts and dairy products for your protein, then you might just end up surpassing the calorie and fat intake of someone who eats skinless chicken breast and steamed vegetables. To really get the most health and weight loss benefits from a particular diet, you should pay attention on the preparation and the amounts, not just the ingredients.

  Ask questions here!I wanted to try vegan diet but my friend said I could have protein deficiency from a no- meat diet, how can I avoid this?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Dr. Kavita

  Deficiency can result from lack of protein intake. Animal meat is a good source of protein but for no-meat diet, there are alternative protein sources like beans, legumes, whole grains, nuts and soya which can give you 7-15 grams of protein depending on serving. The recommended daily intake of protein for adult is 40-50 grams. Just ensure your diet includes protein rich vegetable sources to meet your protein needs.
