Why Vegan Diets Give Good Result for Losing Weight?

To be able to lose excess weight, you should create a calorie deficiency. A vegan diet may help you create this calorie deficit in many ways.

Higher in Fiber

First of all, a plant-based vegan diet typically contains lots of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, peas, nuts, and seeds. This kind of foods is usually rich in fiber, a nutrient that can help lessen hunger and boost feelings of fullness.

Larger fiber intake can assist you to achieve the calorie deficit required for weight loss without restricting your calorie intake or portion sizes.

Research has shown that consuming an additional 14 grams of fiber per day may naturally reduce your calorie intake by around 10%. This could trigger a loss of 4.2 pounds (1.9 kg) during a period of around 4 months.

The high fiber content of the vegan diet can also explain why study participants assigned to a vegan diet usually lose weight no matter being allowed to eat until they feel full.

Lower in Calories

As a result of its higher content of vegetables and fruit, a vegan diet gives lesser calories for the same volume of food. Basically, it’s less calorie-dense.

Practically speaking, you should have to eat around 10 .5 ounces ( 300 grams ) of cooked broccoli or around 10 ounces ( 283 grams ) of melon to consume 100 calories. On the other hand, it could only take around 2 ounces ( 56 grams ) of chicken breast or around 1 ounce ( 28 grams ) of cheese to achieve the same number of calories. The lesser calorie density of plant foods brings about you to feel full with less calories, hence potentially contributing to the calorie deficit necessary for weight loss.

Having said that, it’s worthwhile to note that when matched for calories, a vegan diet is no more effective than a control diet for weight loss.




Limits Your Intake of Certain Foods

Lots of the foods you come across daily possess animal products. These include high-calorie, low-nutrient choices like processed foods and baked goods, which are deceptively easy to eat way too much.

Studies show that being exposed to these kinds of foods causes you to become more prone to consume them. Following a vegan diet causes it to be much easier to limit or avoid these options.

As an example, it’s easier to stay away from eating more calories than you need when the cafe doesn’t offer vegan brownies or when a bowl of candy only contains milk chocolate. Research implies that accessing to a wider variety of foods may cause you to mindlessly consume up to 23% more calories. By decreasing your food choices to a select few, a vegan diet may help decrease your risk of too much eating.

A vegan diet can also limit the variety of choices you have when eating out. Because of this, many vegans choose to cook at home instead of going to restaurants. Home-cooked meals frequently contain significantly less fat, sugar, and overall calories compared to restaurant meals. This could possibly enable you to limit calories and slim down.

Brief Summary: Vegan eating plans are actually richer in fiber, lower in calories and are likely to limit your food options. Each of these factors will help you lose weight by lowering the number of calories you eat.

Chili Dogs – Slimming world recipes

We have a bit of a love for Chili Dogs, this can be a bit on the high syn side, but there are ways around it if you use Healthy Extras and low syn sausages.

For the “dogs”
HEB Wholemeal roll
I used 2 small sausages for 6 syns (best we can do over here)
HEA grated cheese (I used mild red cheddar)
Gerkins
Onions (I fried in a little frylite for a while over a low heat)
I like to eat this with garlic mayo/dressing (I have a nice low fat one for 0.5 syns per tbsp, and French’s yellow mustard (0,5 syns)

For the chili – I make this pretty dry with not much tomato so it doesn’t flood the hot dog, I like it quite spicy but of course you can make it how you like

Lean minced beef
Onion diced
Beef stock cube
Red chili
Chili flakes
Cayenne pepper
Paprika
Cumin
2 De-seeded and chopped tomatoes

Fry the onion in a little fry lite until softened, add the beef and brown (I usually strain it once browned to remove any excess fat), add the spices and fresh chili and cook for about a minute, add the tomatoes, stock cube and about a cup of water, let reduce for around 30 minutes simmering on a low heat.

Nigellas pasta risotto with bacon and peas (slimming world friendly

I love Nigella Lawson and her recipes,  She is an amazing woman who I was lucky enough to meet  at a book signing and she was so gracious and lovely and yes she is as beautiful if not more so in real life *sigh* and although a  lot of her recipes can be high in fat and syns but some like this one can also be adapted quite easily to make them more slimming world friendly.

Her original recipe called for pancetta and garlic oil both which are high in syns so I substituted lean back bacon and garlic and used a little spray oil and vegetable stock instead of water for more flavour. I had seen orzo used in some recipes but never tried it before and thought it would be a hard to find ingredient but I found it in my local ASDA. It is pasta but is shaped like a rice grain and cooks like pasta, Usually in a risotto you have to stand over it and stir for ages ladling stock and stirring each time but this one you add all the water at the same time and just need to stir it occasionally while it simmers.

This recipe serves two adults generously and is syn free : )

Nigellas pasta risotto with bacon and peas

250g orzo
150g frozen peas
150g lean bacon (chopped all fat removed)
1 clove garlic (crushed)
600ml vegetable stock (boiling hot made from a cube is fine, you might need a bit more. )
low calorie spray oil
freshly ground pepper

Spray a large saucepan with spray oil and add the bacon and garlic and fry over a moderate heat for a few minutes then add the peas and fry for a few more minutes.

Add the orzo and the stock and stir well, Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Taste to see if pasta is cooked should still be a little firm most of the water should have been absorbed leaving the risotto quite creamy. If it is still not cooked add a little more water and cook for another couple of minutes.
Season with the pepper and serve immediately.

Not Only is this Sweet Potato Juice Recipe delicious, It’s Cheap Easy and loaded With Essential Vitamins and Nutrient. Potatoes are a staple in the standard American diet. So it’s strange that the general public doesn’t consume remotely close to as many sweet potatoes.
They’re beautifully colored, bursting with flavor, packed with nutrients and can be substituted instead of standard spuds in most recipes. Yams, as they are less often referred to are inexpensive and readily available and most standard grocery stores. They’re quite tasty and are instrumental in helping to control blood sugar levels.

They also contain a vitamin, B6, that is rare among veggies and regular intake can reduce your chances of heart and brain degenerative diseases. Sweet potatoes are also a good source of vitamins C and D. Vitamin C helps boost your immune system and is an excellent antioxidant that reduces damages done by free radicals. Both vitamins are necessary for bone growth, digestion, and blood cell formation.

They contain some essential minerals as well. Iron, magnesium, potassium, and beta-carotene just to name a few. Beta carotene is pretty versatile as it is converted into vitamin A by your body when needed, thus there is no toxicity of overdose. Vitamin A is needed to improve eyesight, your immune system, and is a powerful antioxidant. Below I have listed a truly delicious sweet potato juice recipe that will allow you to take advantage of the many health benefits sweet potatoes offer and pair it nicely with your meal of choice.

Sweet Potato Juice Ingredients:

1-2 raw sweet potato
2 carrots
1 jicama
4-6 ribs of celery
A pinch of cinnamon
