What are some good ways to lose weight as a pescetarian?
There are two problems with your question:Why does being pescatarian make it difficult to eat low carb?Why are you having trouble losing weight when all you eat is fish and vegetables?My first question is serious and the second is facetious.Addressing the first question; eating low carb has nothing to do with cutting out red meat and poultry or not, it has everything to do with your ability to minimize your carbohydrate intake. Minimizing carbs is very easy, just don't eat them, focus on eating vegetables of all varieties, lots of fruit and then indulge in your fish and eggs. Breakfast can be eggs with potatoes, lunch can be tuna salad and for dinner a big salad with grilled salmon. I just made you a full day of eating with very minimal "carbohydrates" in it. Potatoes are still good to eat since they're very high on the satiety index.Losing weight is more about caloric deficit and less about what you're putting into your body. By cutting out the red meats you've actually effectively eliminated some of the calorically heaviest foods you'd be consuming otherwise. Start looking a little more at the quantity of the food passing your lips and less at what the food actually is.
Best way to lose weight?
If you want to lose weight, you need to two things: eat less and exercise more. Weight gain happens when you create a calorie surplus (eat more than you burn). Your body takes the excess calories and converts them to fat which get stored around your stomach, arms and thighs. The longer you remain in a calorie surplus, the more weight you'll gain. To lose that weight, you need to do the opposite. You need to create a calorie deficit (start eating less than you burn). Your first step is to figure out how many calories you burn on a daily basis. This calculator will help you out http://calorieneedscalculator.com The number you get from this tool is what your body burns on a daily basis. To lose weight, simply eat less. It sounds a lot easier than it is but making small changes helps you adjust to a new lifestyle. Don't think of this as a diet, think of it as a new life. Instead of eating foods high in sugars, white flour and saturated fat, go with fruits, vegetables, whole wheats, fish, lean meats, nuts and beans. In addition to eating less, you also need to exercise more. Start off at 1-2 times per week and work your way up to 3-5 times per week. Don't make all of these changes at once or you won't be able to properly adjust to them. Generally, eating healthier foods will decrease your calorie intake. Compare a doughnut to an apple and you'll see that healthy foods are lower in calories. You can find some more information at the Beginner's Guide to Dieting - http://straightdiet.com
