I don't eat vegetables but I want to lose weight can I eat fruits as an alternative for vegetables?

I don't quite get this question, but I'll have a go at trying to understand what you mean. It doesn't matter what the calories are. You can eat 1,500 calories of doughnuts for all your body cares (but I wouldn't suggest it).

As long as you still use up more than 1,500 calories you'll still lose weight. The only difference is, is that fruit and vegetables are more nutritious for you than processed 'junk' food, so your health will be better off and you'd probably feel more satisfied as your body would be getting the vitamins and minerals it needs. Besides, fruit/veg is far more filling as it's less calorie/energy dense.

However, just eating fruit & veg isn't a good idea either. You should try and get a good range of different foods. If you just lived off fruit & veg, it would be unlikely you'd be able to get quite a few minerals or enough protein for your body.

When you're trying to lose weight, it's important to not cut down too much on protein or else you end up losing too much muscle with the fat. That would end up cutting down your metabolic rate, meaning that you would burn fewer calories. Wholegrain sources of carbohydrate are high in fibre and good for your digestion.

They're great to base your meals on and are good for keeping you satisfied til you next eat. It's also a good idea to have three proper meals and a couple of snacks in between if you get hungry. Include a good source of protein - lean poultry or seafood is often the best choice, but the occassional bit of red meat is ok too as long as you choose a low fat version - in each meal.

If you're veggie, you can always have eggs, tofu, vege-mince, quorn, etc. Beans & pulses are ok too, and as are some types of mushroom. Low-fat and fat-free dairy products are important to include too - calcium is even shown to help fat loss. Fat-free yogurts make great snacks with fruit - and if you buy a creamier version such as fromage frais or greek style you can freeze it, then pop it in food processer to make frozen yogurt.

Don't cut out all fat from your diet - you'll end up feeling depressed and your body won't be able to absorb certain nutrients. Try to limit saturated fat, but include foods with healthy fats such as fatty-fish (e.g. salmon, mackerel, sardines), nuts, avocados, vegetable oils, etc. in your diet in moderate amounts. Like I said before, to lose weight, you just need to eat fewer calories than your body requires.

A pound of fat is equal to roughly 3,500 calories, so if you wanted to lose one a week, then each day you would have to eat 500 calories fewer than you required. I wouldn't aim for weight loss faster than 2lbs a week or else your health will really suffer. There are several calculators that can estimate your basal metabolic rate (aka the calories your body needs to run if it was in bed asleep all day) or even your daily energy expenditure (if you know roughly how active you are).

Here are a few: http://nutritiondata.self.com/tools/calo... http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/CalRequi... http://www.bcm.edu/cnrc/caloriesneed.cfm.

Yes but you need more foods like protein also just cus its natural doesn't mean it will help you lose weight and you don't have to meet your calorie deficit of course you have to meet urcalories goal a person needs 2000cal to maintain so consum 1200-1600cal daily and you will lose 1-2lbs daily.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
