I have a class reunion coming up very soon, and I want to make my old boyfriends jealous. I would like to lose about 7 to 10 pounds. Is there a 2 week diet plan that is both safe and effective?
You may not be eating enough protein as a vegetarian. Tofu is high in protein and vegetarian friendly!
It can! This is why you need to take protein juices and calcium in your vegetarian diet.
If you are eating enough calories for your weight/activity level, then you will undoubtedly get enough protein; because (complete) protein is found in every food.
Being a vegetarian is fine as long as you maintain a balanced diet. Usually the most problematic part is making sure you eat enough protein.
To increase your protein intake in a vegetarian diet, try to consume foods like beans, lentils, nuts, and dairy. Also, you can supplement with protein powders.
Yes, there are many vegetarian athletes.There are many vegetarian sources of protein. Most come from nuts and seeds (peanuts, cashews, almonds, flax, etc.). Soy is also a great source of vegetarian protein. Some vegetarians do eat eggs, in which case egg whites are pure protein. Yogurt contains some protein, too. There are also many protein-fortified bars and shakes and powders that a person can use if they feel that they still are not getting enough protein in their diet.
Tofu, beans, and lentils offer high protein choices to a vegetarian diet. Also peanuts and peanut butter. You can also find protein supplements made from vegetable products that you can incorporate into your diet.
Some high protein pulses that can be included in a vegetarian diet for optimal nutrition are lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and split peas. These pulses are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them excellent choices for a balanced vegetarian diet.

Meat...... And if your a vegetarian peanut butter, beans, etc.
Meats do contain protein and many individuals select meats on their protein diet. However, you can still be a vegetarian and select a protein diet. Eggs are rich in proteins and are an excellent selection for those on a protein diet.
Vary your diet--get enough protein, vegetables and fruit, and complex carbohydrates. Ditch refined carbohydrates, and artificial chemicals. Minimize animal fat.
