7 Weight Loss Tips for Vegetarians

Losing weight the vegetarian way is pretty similar to that of for non-vegetarians, except that you have less toxins and bacteria (from animal-based foods) to deal with, which makes it easier for you to achieve fat loss. That being said, let's get right down to the 7 weight loss tips for vegetarians now.
Tip 1 - Skipping Meals Don't Help
Don't skip any meals especially breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal in the day to help jumpstart your metabolism and burn fat off your belly, thighs and buttocks effectively. Of course, the rest of the meals are also important to boost your metabolism so that you can continue to melt fat throughout the day.
Tip 2 - Eat More to Lose Fat
Take 5 vegetarian meals a day instead of only 3, but in smaller portion sizes. You should eat in this manner - breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner. Your snack portion should be smaller than your main meals. The reason for doing this is to prevent your stomach from starving. That's because when hunger pangs strike, your metabolism will slow down, which affects burning of fat.
Tip 3 - Begin Healthy Weight Loss with Nutritional Vegetarian Diet
You won't lose weight if you eat lots of processed vegetarian foods that contain high amount of sugar, sodium and unhealthy saturated fats. Whole natural food like fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains and nuts should become the staple in your vegetarian diet for weight loss.
Tip 4 - Give Your Stomach Some Space
Leave your stomach 70% full. You won't feel so slow and sluggish when at this satiety level. But remember to eat slower than usual as it takes about 10 - 20 minutes for your stomach to register satiety with your brain. This is one effective weight loss tactic for vegetarians.
Tip 5 - You Need Plenty but Not Excessive Water
Water is as important for vegetarians to lose weight as for others because water stimulates metabolism. Drinking too little water can cause dehydration. But drinking excessive water can lead to hyponatremia. So, drink just enough for proper body hydration and optimal fat loss.
Tip 6 - Burn More Fat with Interval Training
Get down to interval training instead of cardio. Interval training with a low-high-low intensity workout pattern burns more fat since your body will remain metabolically active post interval workouts. For even better result, do it in the morning.
Tip 7 - Optimal Fat Loss Occurs to Vegetarians Who Sleep Soundly
How many hours of sleep do you need? You should know better than anyone else. Some people need only 5 hours of sleep to feel revitalized and perform at their peak, what about you? Sleep the number of hours you need, not necessary to follow the general 8-hour sleep rule. However, that's a good way to help you get started.
Admittedly, making weight loss effective for vegetarians is not easy as it requires you to instil more discipline and consciousness of what you eat and do than undertaking a meat diet, but it's not difficult too once you get the hang of it.
