i need to lose a couple of pounds and i’ve been thinking of becoming a vegetarian not only for weight issues but for my health too. i don’t eat bread or any wheat product, drink soda or juicy (i only drink water), i dont eat fast foods, pasta, or anything sweet. and i exercise like crazy.. so my question is will i lose weight if i stop eating meat or will it screw up my metabolism?

I am already a vegetarian, but I think I may want to try the Raw Food Trial. I read that it is a sort of detoxification of the body to eat only raw foods for about 30 days, that’s why I want to try it, not because I want to lose weight. I’m almost 16 years old, and have been a vegetarian for almost a year now. If anyone has already tried this trial or knows someone else who has, can you please tell me all the the information you know! I would also like some recipes I could use if I did decide to try the diet. Also, can you eat dairy, or is it sort of like being a vegan?
Please don’t just say that it’s unhealthy because I do take liquid vitamins every day which provide me with everything I’m missing from not eating meat, so I don’t think nutrient deficiency will be a major problem.
All answers are appreciated, so thank you in advance!
Some of my leading sites for healthy eating are swinging away from vegetarian, soya
products, saying that eating meat and fat give more energy, more immunity and so
on. Anyone up on this stuff? I do have inflammation and am tired a lot.
My husband and I have been talking about a vegan Raw/ Living food diet for optimal health and weight loss (90%, as I’d like to keep rolled oats and quinoa in our diets). If we do this, it will be long term since the equipment isn’t cheap! So my question has to do with the fact I am breastfeeding. I know I shouldn’t detox when breastfeeding because toxins will get into my milk supply and transfer to baby. However, as I haven’t eaten meat in almost a year and scarcely for 8 months prior, do I have as much to worry. Why I ask this is because everything I read has been saying that to stop eating meat is the biggest trigger of the detox. Also just changing up my eating habits, I personally don’t believe would detox me as fast as say taking detox herbs and the such. If I’m wrong please tell me! Those who know what they are talking about, please inform me wisely as this is the only thing keeping me from taking this step. Thank you!
Currently do not eat eggs or intake anything dairy. Or almost vegan as I still eat raw honey and don’t feel qualified to call myself vegan.
I’m looking for a detox diet that will clean out all the junk in my system from eating meat. I don’t want to starve myself and drink lemonade for 10 days, or anything crazy. Just something that will help cleanse my body quicker than waiting a month for it to do it on its own.
Any suggestions?
Skaytie: That’s the type of junk I’m talking about and why I’m becoming a vegetarian again.
