Vegan diet to lose weight

How to Use a vegan diet to lose weight

There is no question that a vegan diet is the healthiest and most compassionate choice for humans. Vegans are less likely to have problems such as heart disease and cancer, and are more likely to keep to a healthy weight. So it should come as little or no surprise that besides improving health of course, some people are really interested in using a vegan diet to lose weight.

Suffice it to say that it is a wise choice actually.

A typical vegan diet to lose weight closely matches expert dietary recommendations for healthy eating, being low in saturated fat and high in fibre, complex carbohydrates, and fresh fruit and vegetables. As long as you eat a variety of foods you will be getting all the nutrients you need.

The key to keep in mind when using a vegan diet to lose weight is balance with the RIGHT food items. If you stuff your face with vegan chocolate chip cookies and vegan apple-pies, you most likely will see little or no results in your quest to lose weight with a vegan diet...and may actually be doing more harm than good!

Nonetheless, going on a vegan diet to lose weight is something that seems to be endorsed by several medical and health practitioners.

Check out this press release that indicates that:

Dr Neal Barnard, the chief researcher, said."By sticking to a low-fat vegan diet to lose weight, women lost more pounds than those on the [traditional] diet, even without restricting portions.

"We also saw other health benefits on this patients who used a vegan diet to lose weight, such as drops in cholesterol and increased energy levels."

Dr Barnard, who heads the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, said the absence of calorie-rich fats in meat and dairy foods naturally reduced the vegans' calorie intake. Also, the added fibre in fruits, whole grains and beans helped to prevent cravings and hunger pangs.

Well, it's safe to say I've got you intrigued on the subject eh?

If that is the case, well let's get right on into the helpful tips so you to could be successful with in your aim to lose weight on a vegan diet.

The Main Plan When Using a Vegan diet to lose weight is...

...As follows:

Based on scientifically proven research on thousands of people for over two centuries on such health principles as food combination and assimilation, the human body goes through a cleansing process from twelve midnight until twelve noon, and a building program from twelve noon to twelve midnight, therefore our meals using a Vegan diet to lose weight during these respective periods should be harmonious with these processes of natural detoxification of the body.

Now, though you may experience slight to no discomfort such as mild dizziness for the first couple of days of adhering to this suggested dietetic change, do not be frightened as these are merely detoxification symptoms of the body which are sure to pass in no time. Moreover, this simple discipline is bound to make the lunch meal even more enjoyable and filling. Try it for yourself and see!

Breakfast:

A choice of the following
1. A tall glass of Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice.
2. A tall glass of Fresh squeezed lemonade flavored with genuine maple
Syrup (the darker the grade the better)

Lunch:

A mono-meal of an organic fruit in season for example: Apples in the fall and winter, Melons in the summer, Berries in spring.

Dinner:

Fresh, home-made salads.

A simple dressing could be
(a) Lemon juice, olive oil and un-iodized sea-salt
(b) Avocadoes or Green coconuts blended with tomatoes and some sea salt

Or

Raw and/or cooked root vegetables such as Celery, Carrots, Potatoes, Plantains, raw or slightly heated fruit veggies (these can be blended into Soups or dressings for your salads)


Now, I have some other helpful recipes you can incorporate into your plan of using a Vegetarian diet to lose weight and you can view them by clicking here: Healthy Vegetarian Recipes

Other factors that must be remembered when learning how to lose weight on a vegan diet are to get adequate exercise, sunshine and fresh air.

What's sort of welcoming about this point is that when using a Vegan diet to lose weight or just as a dietetic lifestyle of choice, incorporating a relationship with these essentials of nature makes it even more natural feeling and rewarding...think about for a second eh?

The Best Exercises to Use While On a Vegan diet to lose weight

Now, in regards to the best choices of exercises to add to a program of losing weight on a vegan diet, I personally recommend a mixture of Yoga & Calisthenics as both have the ability to loosen constitutional encumbrances through various kinds of vibrations and thermal differences which consequently speeds up weight-loss and overall improved muscular tone, endurance and strength.

Being a vegan myself (raw, cooked BUT always Mucus-lean as the case may be), it's safe to say you may not have to do excessive amounts of exercise while on a vegan diet to lose weight. Especially if like me, you adhere to the menu plan listed above and most of your foods comprise of low-fat foods (or even if you still use fats, it's mostly avocados (in moderation I hope 2 max per person), nuts (perhaps 1/3 of a cup if that), chances are you will see a rapid (yet healthy) decrease in body weight in no time.

Now here is an especial routine for you.

How to Mix Yoga With a Vegan diet to lose weight

All you really need from this: ( based on research, the need for a 'to the point' routine, and efficiency) will perhaps be The Sun salutations. (24 + repetitions)

Let me say this, While on a vegan diet to lose weight, you CAN'T go wrong with these babies, when you consider some of their benefits listed below:

-They alleviate disorders of the skin and waist.
-Flexibility increases and breathing is corrected, moreover, they mildly exercise the legs and arms, thus increasing the circulation.
-They are the best way to burn calories and reduce weight and are often recommended for obesity and depression.
-They stimulate and balance all the systems of the body including the endocrine, circulatory, reproductive and digestive system.

Technique:
1. Stand straight with the palms together as in a prayer position.

2. Inhale and stretch the arms above the head.

3. Exhale and bend forward while touching the toes.

4. Inhale and stretch the right leg away from the body in a big backward step and keep the hands and left foot firmly on the ground. Bending the head backward the left knee should be between the hands.

5. Inhale and hold the breath. Move the left leg from the body and, keeping both feet together and the knees of the floor, rest on the hands (arms straight) and keep the body in a straight line from head to foot.

6. Exhale and lower the body to the floor. In this position, only 8 portions of the body come in contact with the floor: the two feet, two knees, two hands, chest and forehead.

7. Inhale and bend back as much as possible bending the spine to the maximum.

8. Exhale and lift the body of the floor. Keep the feet and heels on the floor.

9. Inhale and bring the right foot along the level of the hands; left foot and knee should touch the ground. Look up, bending the spine slightly (same position as #4)

10. Exhale and bring the left leg forward. Keep the knees straight and bring the head down to the knees as in the third position.

11. Raise the arms overhead and bend backward inhaling. As in Position 2.

12. Exhale and drop the arms and relax.

You have now completed one round.

Perform as many rounds as possible in multiples of 3. Ideally you want to aim for 6 rounds minimum and up to a maximum of 30. It only takes about 5-10 minutes, depending on your speed and intensity and is best practiced with as little clothing as possible before an open air window first thing in the morning.

Finish this sequence with the Corpse Pose for 15 minutes.

You can look for more information on The Almighty Sun Salutations here .

Now, I recommend you do these in the morning and do the following routine for calisthenics in the evening (or you could rotate days doing either one in the mornings...or heck, combine both!)

How to Mix Calisthenics With a Vegan diet to lose weight

Briefly, here are my personal favorites:

The Royal Court Exercises:

a. Hindu Squats.
b. Hindu Push-ups
c. The Bridge

or

A combo of
a. Unlimited Ab-wheel rollouts to failure
b. Unlimited Chin-ups
c. Unlimited Chair dips/ Push Ups
d. Unlimited Pull-ups
e. Jogging (at least 20 Minutes)

Now, I've tried both and although both are effective routines of calisthenics that you can use while on a vegan diet to lose weight, I personally prefer the latter combination.

Just remember though to:

* Set your goals
* Set a timeframe for your goals
* Figure out how to meet your goals with an exercise program
* Structure your program
* Maintain your program


All in all, here's to health and wellness mate.
