Weight Loss - Vegetable soup diet?Vegetable soup diet to lose weight... Is there such a thing?
Well, it is true you wouldn’t get much calories or fat through your diet that way, and as a result you would lose weight. But would you be able to stick with that vegetable soup diet? Would you be able to do it long term? And... would it even be healthy to do it long term? I guess if you would plan your diet really well, a vegetable soup diet or at least a vegetable diet could work. For example, nutrition expert Kardena Pauza has developed a program called Easy Veggie Meal Plans which is a vegetable diet program. One thing to remember is: your body actually NEEDS calories and some healthy fats too... Your body needs calories for you to have normal energy levels. And your body needs some fat each day too... but not the wrong kind of fat! Not the kind you find in junk food... but the kind of fat you find in fruits and nuts - and of course in vegetables too, but veggies don’t contain enough of it for anyone to live on ONLY veggies. So a wiser "weight loss nutrition program" than a vegetable soup diet would be to include lots of fruits and also some nuts and seeds with those vegetables and veggie soups. And make it a long-term project!
Something you might have heard before... Losing weight is about changing your lifestyle There are endless types of weight-loss diets out there, but believe me, non of them work. Because losing weight is about changing the way you eat permanently. And... losing weight does not have to be complicated
Don't eat junk. Don’t eat candy. Don't drink soda. Instead... 1. Eat as MUCH fruit and vegetables as you like! 2. Eat lots of sweet fruits. 3. Make a big salad one of your main meals every day. 4. Make your own smoothies... Here is a CNN News video on overcoming obesity by following a raw lifestyle.
Three years ago, Philip McCluskey from Lovingraw, used to weigh over 400 lbs! He was ready for a gastric bypass, but luckily he found a healthier option. Philip has a few books and a dvd that could help you on your way to doing the same.Here is the link to his site:

So a vegetable diet or vegetable soup diet to lose weight? Not really... Instead check out these tips on starting your new lifestyle -
Sometimes you try to live healthy for a while and find it hard due to lack of support from family and friends or maybe because of a food addiction. The best way to go about that is to not be so strict with yourself... So you might have a few unhealthy slips here and there, but hey - that's ok! As long as you eat an overall
healthy diet
and keep eating healthier and healthier and changing your ways, you will be fine! Don't think about what you did yesterday. Think about what you are doing today. In my experience it's best to slowly eat more and more fruits and vegetables... and less of the bad stuff. That way, maybe one day you will start craving fruits and veggies instead of that chocolate cake! Tired of all kinds of different diets, like the vegetable soup diet? In that case you could try a real lifestyle change program like Michael Salvatore's
