I am getting ready to start training for the Naval ROTC in college next year and want to get in shape while following a vegetarian diet. I am not a vegetarian so this is going to be a switch, but I would like to try it. Any ideas are welcome!Anyone have any ideas for a high protein vegetarian diet?
Hi Connor,
Eating a vegetarian diet can be good or bad, depending on how you approach it (I don’t recommend going vegetarian, read on to find out why).
If you approach it by the book and choose healthful vegetarian fare, then it can be good, assuming the dieter gets enough B12 and essential fatty acids. But, if your idea of vegetarian fare is eggplant parmesan, pizza, pita chips, or soda, then you’re more likely to end up with the body type of another famous vegetarian, Forest Whitaker.
The reason most people feel better on vegetarian diets is two-fold:
First, the reality is that most people eat like crap. So when they eliminate “meat”, what they end up eliminating the junky foods they used to eat that were meat-based – hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken wings, etc.
Second, factor in that most Americans don’t eat any fruit or vegetables (or, if they do, it’s the tomato and lettuce on their burger). Once they adopt a vegetarian diet, the typical person’s consumption of fruit and vegetables increases dramatically. Given these two factors, it’s no wonder people tend to feel better when adopting a vegetarian lifestyle.
I'll leave a link below to a better choice that can get you the results you want without sacrificing your health.
High protein can be found in beans, lentils, milk products, eggs (if you are eggeterian), whole grains.
So try eating garbanzo beans, lentil soups, high protein cerealsAnyone have any ideas for a high protein vegetarian diet?
You should use acomplia, it is the best about it you can get information from here http://webmd92.notlong.com/AApGHCU
This begs the question, why do you want your vegetarian diet to be "high protein"? A normal, unsupplemented vegetarian diet already supplies plenty of protein, and there's absolutely no benefit to consuming more than you need. If you put more gas in a car, it doesn't go any faster.
You need only 2.5 to 10% of calories as protein, according to official sources. And almost all food contains more than that. Nuts %26amp; seeds average 11%, grains 13%, vegetables 22%, and beans 28%. Even fruit has nearly 7%. Mother's milk is also 6%, by the way. So when nearly every food contains more protein than you need, it's meaningless to talk about a "source" of protein. Really, you get enough protein pretty much no matter what you eat, without even thinking about it, without even trying -- just like all the other animals on the planet.Anyone have any ideas for a high protein vegetarian diet?
How about a protein supplement? They are not only high in amino acids (good for muscle building and general health) but also keep you feeling full for longer and so stop you snacking.
Theres millions out there but heres a cheap one:
