NJ asked:
On my husband and I are both vegetarians (eat good seafood, but does not). Both must keep at least 40 pounds. What is a good program of diet that would work with what we eat. I know many people who lost weight with the Atkins &; Beach in the south, but those diets don 't really measure inside a vegetarian lifestyle. I am not seeking a quick fix, but something that we can stick with for for a while '. So that part of our problem is we eat many carbs. Practically live on pasta. Its hard because we work in different programs so that no one of us actually cooking a meal, but rather grab something to eat. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Okay, I understand the tutorial. What is given. That isn 't that what I was asking. What other meals are good for vegetarians who don 't include many carbs?

I joined weightwatchers online. i have lost 31lbs since the beginning ogf the year. I am not vegetarian, but eat many non flesh meals on this due to wanting less calories. They have a great database of recipes to call on, and the online system keeps you focused for about $5.00 a week.it is not a quick fix, but, a good disipline for the long term.

WHY DONT YOU EXERCISE INSTEAD OF SITTING AROUND

there may be a diet out there tailor-made for vegetarians, but the easiest one you can do is to continue to eat what you currently eat….the key being portion control…….gonna be hard at first, but it will work….keeping in mind a few simple rules….no meals after 8pm….a piece of fresh fruit ok…..keep a food diary for a week, look at what you eat, then sit down and analyze the amount of calories you consume….you will start to lose weight buy decreasing your weekly caloric intake by 500 calories….try to make your calories count more….eating foods higher in protein and more fiber and complex carbs….e.g. brown rice instead of white rice….a lot of restaurants are nowadays conscious of the need to reduce carb intake and offer veggies instead of starches…seek them out. good luck…and, it really does work….remember, you did not put 40lbs on in a week, you’re not going to take it off in one either

I know that what I’m going to say, you may blow off, but I highly suggest you looking into it. I’m sure, positive, it will help you two out!
I lost a lot of weight following the raw food diet, and I liked it so much I decided to keep following the raw food diet, as a lifestyle! There are countless of examples online of success stories of raw fooders! And those that say it’s unhealthy, obviously haven’t looked into the whole diet. It’s extremely healthy, nourishing, good for your entire body– inside and out– extremely low in fat, high in carbs, but the good ones. 
It’s fantastic. You’ll never be bored. You can literally eat as much of it as you want and still lose weight! It’s also very spiritually enlighting. You’ll find yourself with increased energy, and you’ll feel a bit superior which is normal in the beginning. You’ll realize how eating cooked food is eating dead food. Cooking food kills all the enzymes. You’re left with well tasting dead food that does absoloutely nothing in your body but pile up and causes disease and layers of fat that you’ll ‘diet’ hoping to lose, and eventually fall into the yo-yo trap.
I wish you tons of luck on your weight loss journey, and I hope you try the raw food lifestyle. There are many books that suggest trying at least 3 weeks of this way of life. Just 3 weeks! I personally have met men, and women, who’ve lost over 20 lbs in only one month following the raw food diet, which can also be called the ‘Detox’ diet.
You’ll discover how great food really is, but the good kind.
Please, just try!
Best of wishes!
