I am trying to start a ketosis diet to lose weight but I am a vegetarian. What are some good foods that I could eat? I read egg whites and cheese are good and protein powder, but no nuts. My main protein income is usually nuts and beans. Are beans still ok? And it says to up the fat intake. I only get about 5% of the daily fat as it is and barley lose weight. Uping the fat doens’t make sense.. How would that help me lose weight? I do not want to take meds or anything to induce ketosis.

Beans are too high in carbs to throw you into ketosis (unless you’re hardcore at working out).

Some foods you should stock up on are… (in net carbs)
- Macadamias (1.5 for 12 nuts)
- Yves veg hot dogs (~2 per dog)
- Firm tofu (7/100 g)
- Almonds (2.5 for 23 nuts
- Edamame (10 for 1 cup shelled)

Any hard cheese is fine; just have one thumb sized stick of it max per day. Also, whole eggs are less than 1 carb per egg. Meat analogues tend to be good choices, too, just read the labels carefully.

Fat - the fat satisfies your hunger and keeps up your calories - you’re not trying for starvation. Also, you’re trying to convert from carbs as your energy source to fat burning.

i know there isn’t such thing as a Miracle food, but what is something that i can eat and still continue working out to get results?

Hi Annie S

1. Take Acai Burn Pills regularly (2 times in a day).

2. Commit to consuming 4-6 small meals and snacks everyday.

3. To succeed, You must plan ahead by packing your foods the night before. Thus, you should always have fresh and low-fat foods around.

4. Keep it simple. Don’t get too caught up on the specifics or your diet. Start by simply just counting calories.

5. Eat your foods slower.

6. Make healthier food selections like fruits,vegetables, whole grain cereals, and beans, low- fat or nonfat dairy products, low fat meats, fish and skinless poultry.

7. Avoid foods that are high in fat and calories.

8. Avoid foods that are high in sugars such as pastries, candy bars, pies and candy.

9. Use a variety of fruits and vegetables in your nutrition plan. Start by trying to eat 5 total vegetable and fruit servings every single day.

What are the best exercises to do to trigger this weight loss, and what are the best foods to eat?

I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…

This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.

However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

What do you think of this? Could I lose 3-4 kgs really fast? Like 7-10 days? I am not a big girl, I have 51 kgs and want to get down to 47-48. I have been on a weight loss protein diet for the past 5 weeks and one with a bit of carbs for the 6th one, but these last 3 kgs just won’t come off
Hi there,
I would recommend incorporating more vegetables and cutting back on the sugar if you’re looking to lose weight. Be sure to incorporate some nuts, seeds, and fats to prevent the body from losing too much muscle; you’ll need the protein they impart to grow muscle.

Salads and fruits can get boring, so I recommend stocking up on raw food recipes. A good resource for raw food recipes is www.rawpeople.com.

Hope this helps!

I want to lose weight. What can I eat that will give me the nutrients I need while also helping to lose weight quickly?

I’m pushing 50 and climbing over 200 pounds on a 5′10" frame. I’m wondering about just cutting out the junk food and eating a gracious plenty of healthy veggies, fruits, low fat meat, low fat dairy and whole grains. Treats and nuts would become weekly, rather than daily, fair. Ever tried it? Did it work? Any problems? Thanks.

My father went to the doctor and was told his cholesterol was high. Doctor put him on a non-fat diet. He ate all he wanted, whatever he wanted but stuck to the non-fat diet. With almost no effort he lost 25 pounds. It was a slow process, but yes I think it will work.

If you eat like you’re suggesting you’ll go even faster.

give specific foods

also, what are your favorite low-calorie meals and snacks?

Foods that are great for weight loss are…

All sorts of fruits- these are good because they are super low in calories and fat, they are full of fibre which keeps you feeling fuller for longer so you tend to avoid snacking. As well as this fruits such as strawberries, apples and berries are negative calorie foods. This means it takes your body more calories to digest them than they actually contain. Perfect if you want to lose weight.

All sorts of vegetables- these are also negative calorie foods and contain hardly any fats. Also, they can contain healthy fats that are essential when you want to lose weight. Vegetables such as aubergine contain good fats.

Nuts- Brazil nuts are said to increase your metabolism as they have certain nutrients in them that speed up fat loss.

Protein- Fish especially is super low in fat and can help build up muscle mass, this means that it will raise your metabolism.

Good carbs- This means no white bread, pasta or white rice. Brown rice, whole grain bread and noodles will release energy much slower which will help you to feel full for longer. Oats for breakfast, porridge made with water or skimmed milk, these sorts of things will keep you full and breakfast kicks starts your metabolism.

Dairy but limit it- Cheese is very good from time to time as is milk but keep it low fat and skimmed, when using yogurt always make sure it is low fat.

Green tea, plenty of water and chili all help to keep your metabolism raised so try to drink as much as possible and add spice to your meals when you can.

Exercise tips, Healthy foods, anything I can do? - Thanks
Try to keep the answers positive- I suffer from anxiety and depression. The last thing I wanna hear is criticism.
I AM exercising. I do sports occasionally. I don’t want pills. Special foods and where I can find them would be better.

well last year i was 16, 5"6 and 240 i lost 100 pounds by completey cutting off soda, using less salt in my foods, drinking green tea, eating just a little healthier. And using the treadmill about 3 times a week ( the secret for me was putting the treadmill on 2.5-3.0 while watch a movie/show on my computer, sometimes i was on it for like 2-3 hours will out even realizing it ( i suggest headphones and an action movie, it pumps your adrenaline up and you end up walking faster). Hope it helps.
