Medi-Studies info for Vegetarians and Vegans

I know all of us have different metabolisms, are a different age, different exercise routines, and we all have a different story of how and why we became vegan/vegetarian. But for those who have been a vegetarian/vegan for a while, how many pounds have you dropped? I’ve been a Vegetarian for less than a week, I’m hoping to be skinnier than I’ve ever been, but I mostly did it for the health and humane benefits.

My story is, that my life up until recent I’ve never really had any health problems, rarely even get sick. But this summer I had a kidney stone, which if you have ever had is just terrible and unbearable pain, it’s a nightmare. So after an ER visit to see what it is and I found out, over time I eventually passed it. I still didn’t change up my diet too much though just because I’m in the process of growing up and need had to learn by myself over time (I’m 21 now). Since high school I have gained about 30 pounds, though some of it is good weight, for instance more natural muscle growth, my trapezoids are quite bigger than they used to be, though even in high school I had a little extra, I never have been able to see my ab muscles.

But then just a few weeks ago I had the kidney stone pain again, though with experience from the previous kidney stone I was more prepared and drank more water to ease it up and control it, so after that day I haven;t had the pain since I’ve been drinking almost nothing but pure water. Around the time I got the most recent one I was around 185 pounds, I’m not sure exactly what I was eating during that time from then to now, but I know I wasn’t eating foods high in sodium or calcium. Now I weigh 175 pounds, I have been eating a Vegetarian diet for a few days now, and already my body is feeling better and my conscious is free as well.

Just to give you an example of my meals so far in my early stages while I’m still learning about nutrition and trying to expand my vegetarian meals I will name what I’ve been eating.

Breakfast: apple slices, a small orange, peanut butter sandwich on wheat bread, some fresh lettuce, an 8 ounce glass of milk (2% milk, because it’s what I have now. But I’m going to move to skim milk or soy milk) and some water.

Lunch: Today I had Green Grapes, Fedachini alfredo (noodes with some small carrots, and chopped up fresh lettuce mixed together), a slice of bread, and water.

Dinner: Somewhat of the same type of foods, probably in a different mixture. Most likely with an 8 ounce glass of milk and some water.

I drink water all day long of course, although it’s pretty irrelevant since it’s 0 everything.

So with all that said, I appreciate any help!
Thanks for the answers toward the weight loss part, silly me I’ve been so caught up in nutritional needs I somewhat forgot the basic principle of just simply using more calories than you consume. I will leave this question up however for any meal or nutritional tips. Also I’m not looking to get big and huge like most guys are, I will just happy to retain muscle and get be lean, it’s easier on the bones with less weight to walk on over the course of the day, and my lifetime.
Thanks for the meal tips too.much, I’ve come across some of these suggestions on the internet, except for the eggplant I haven’t come across yet. But now I know, also I do try to keep in mind about wasted water, I used to turn all the lights off in my house that my family would leave on until I found out our power company was powered by windmills.

@Thatgreenguy health is the main reason I opened my eyes toward being a vegetarian no doubt, I want to have a healthy body and keep it that way before it’s too late and one day I end up on a bunch of pills for problems that could have been prevented, like so many older people. But now that I’ve done it for a few days and see it’s not that hard to make the jump, I now just don’t like the sight of meat anymore. I love animals and always have, and I love the environment. Contributing toward saving both by changing my diet makes me happy as well. But I do know what you’re saying, so many people can’t stick to one

Strength train. Lose weight, gain muscle, be healthy, whatever. Do this. Read Starting Strength and do the program. Also, some interval training (high intensity for you, if that means walking faster, do it, with some more moderate recovery in between) will help. As well as walking for a minimum of an hour a day, in addition to an hour of heart pumping exercise.

Of course, drinking water helps. Have you done the pee test to see if you’re drinking enough? It should be a pale yellow, not dark/neon yellow, and not clear. If it’s clear, you’re drinking too much, which is not only unhealthy (you’re drowning in your own cells), but is a waste of water (the water exiting, flushing, tp, washing hands, etc). If you’re passing the pee test with flying colors, you should really go back to your doctor for what’s going on.

As for diet: I take it you want to be lacto-veg? Also, more vegetables. You had lettuce and a bit of carrots. Aim for 4-8 servings of veggies a day, more toward the 8. Different colors, like red peppers, yellow squash, purple eggplant. It’ll also help with your weight loss. My mom ate salad for dinner for a week and lost 2 lbs, without feeling hungry, without exercise (she was on bed rest). Your fruit intake is good, as you’re getting lots of whole grains. More beans. Beans are high in fiber, zinc, iron, and protein. Much healthier than getting your protein from dairy. Eat fat. Fat is good for you. Healthy stuff like coconut, avocado, unroasted nuts, unroasted seeds. It’ll keep you full, even if it double the calories per gram of carb or protein.
