What Is The Best Diet Program For Vegetarians?

I really want to lose like 10 to 15 pounds before summer. All the diet plans I’ve seen include meat. I am a vegetarian and need a good plan to follow. (If you’re going to tell me to eat fish, then don’t answer because you don’t know anything about being a vegetarian. Not trying to be rude but I get sick of explaining that you are not a vegetarian if you eat fish)
Thanks!

Cut the dairy and egg prodcuts out and go vegan! I was a vegetarian, I went vegan and lost about 15 pounds in 3 months without even increasing my exercise! Plus almost everything you eat is nutrient dense, so you feel healthier and energized.
Lots of info on vegan diet here:http://www.goveg.com
How in the world can you need to lose any weight if you are a vegetarian?
If you’re still eating sugar and white flour, cutting those out would definitely help you to lose weight. A brisk 30 min walk daily would also help.
A plan? 6-11 servings of grains/day
3 servings of nuts, seeds, soy, or legumes/day
3+ servings of veggies including at least 2 servings of sprouts or dark green veggies that will give you calcium and protien ( if you don’t eat dairy).
3+ servings of fruits/day
limit butter and saturated fat to 0-1 servings/day
Don’t worry if you have a plate full of plain brown rice, apple, and a pile of spinach with pecans and lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper on it because you don’t see what TV and magazines advertise. That is a perfectly healthy meal.
