30-Day Vegetarian Diet

Book excerpt: The 30-Day Vegetarian Diet blends American cooking with Asian vegetarian concepts. Of course this diet is meatless, but fish, eggs and dairy are allowed. The diet is a Pescetarian version of vegetarianism and features delicious, low calorie, nutritionally balanced vegetarian meals. This eBook actually contains two 30-day diets: a 1,500 Calorie diet, and for even faster weight loss a 1,200 Calorie diet. And both diets have a meal plan (menu) for each and every one of the 30 days. On the 30-Day Vegetarian Diet, most women lose 10 to 15 pounds – depending on whether the 1,500 or 1,200 Calorie diet is selected. Smaller women, older women and less alive women will lose a bit less and larger women, younger women and more active women often lose more. Most men lose 15 to 20 pounds. Smaller men, older men and less active men will lose a bit less and larger men, younger men and more active men often much more. Many health-care professionals think eating a healthy vegetarian diet is one of the best things you can do for your short-term and long-term health. So lose weight the healthy way. Go vegetarian!
