How do I lose weight on a vegetarian diet?
I have been on a vegetarian diet for about two years. Unfortunately I seem to crave more sugar and bread!!! Are there any good diets out there for vegetarians. I am about 10 pounds overweight.
There are more tips and info.
How to lose weight naturally has been in debate for years.
Some say low carb. Some say high carb. Some say it’s how much food. Some say it’s how much exercise. But none of these covers the whole picture.
How to lose weight naturally is not rocket science. It just takes accepting the facts of these seven natural laws of weight loss, plus good old-fashioned stick-to-itiveness.

My mom says that the only time in her life she was ever skinny was when she was on a vegetarian low-carb diet. Try eating plenty of tofu, and lots of vegetables. Avoid sugary, carby foods at all costs.

going on a vegetarian diet is a very good start! i myself am a vegetarian for about 3 years. you must remember one thing though if you want to lose the weight. you have to eat healthy. there are A LOT of vegetarian meals that have a high fat content! i would make sure you make or buy low-fat vegetarian meals. there is a magazine called "vegetarian time". it incorporates both vegetarian and low-fat healthy meals. if you didnt already try this:
1) drink fat free milk
2) olive oil butter instead of real
3) avoid fried food even if they are vegetarian
4) good sources of protein are peanut butter, nuts (walnuts, peanuts and almonds) and tofu!
5) if possible exercise. nothing big. try and take walks around you neighborhood.
6) cook with olive oil! its better for your health.
7) fresh veggies and fruits are good source of vitamins and fiber!
i hope this helps

Try eating more sugar (especially from fruit) and bread. (As well as pasta, rice and porridge)
These foods provide excellent fuel for high-intensity activity, which will make you stronger and streamline your figure. This is likely to make you heavier, but also thinner and more confident.
Including a lot of agility and flexibility training in your schedule will keep your new muscle mass lithe and slender. Activities that involve high-intensity work, flexibility moves, and agility training, are better than doing specific ‘exercises’ in a gym or at home.
Good examples are Capoeira and Parkour.

I found this on this website. There are more tips and info.
1. If what you are eating has less than 1 carb, count it as 1 carb just to be sure.
2. Totally avoid caffine at least for the first two weeks on the program.
3. Drink a MINIMUM of 8 glasses of plain water or seltzer daily.
4. Don’t weigh yourself more than once a week
5. Take starting measurements as well as weight – sometimes you’ll lose inches before pounds
6. Avoid any type of "low carb" sweetener for the first two weeks
7. Don’t compare your loss to someone else’s – this is a YMMV thing (your milage may vary)
8. Stalls are common around the third week so don’t panic
9. If you follow your plan to the T and don’t lose, consider Candida as a possibility and avoid vinegar, cheese, mushrooms and any other fermented food
10. Have bloodwork done before starting so you have a comparison
11. Cholesterol can be elevated in the first few weeks til your body adjusts – make sure your doctor knows that you’re doing low carb and when you started
12. Don’t blame the diet if you don’t read your plan book — blame the diet if you don’t read the labels — Don’t blame the diet if you don’t follow the diet
