Answer
Here are some web sites with some great vegetarian/vegan food.
http://amys.com
http://gardenburger.com
http://yvesveggie.com
http://sunshineburger.com
http://rightfoods.com
http://veganstore.com -they have chocolate!

If you have a dog here is a site to get vegan dog food: http://www.v-dogfood.com/


Here are some good recipes:


Stir fry- You need cut up tofu, olive oil, steamed veggies, and cooked rice

Get a frying pan and coat it with olive oil. The put the tofu in the pan and brown each side of it. Next, add the veggies. Add a little more olive oil and put in the rice. Mix everything up and then let it sit on the stove, occasionally stirring it to make sure it doesn't burn. After about a minute and a half of that put it in a bowl and enjoy!


Hummus- chick peas, lemon juice, paprika, black pepper, and any other spices/seasonings you like

Puree the chick peas. Then add a little lemon juice, paprika, pepper, and other spices. Then stir. Serve with a pita, with cucumbers, or on a veggie wrap.



Here are some snack and dinner suggestions:

Snacks:
Celery with peanut butter
Apples with peanut butter
Pita with hummus
Raisins
Amy's Apple Toaster Pops
All natural popsicles
Natural Valley bars
Fruit Leather
Silk Chocolate Soy Milk

Veggie Wraps

Whole foods is a great store for vegetarians/vegans, so I recommend grocery shopping there. You also can get a lot of the things I listed above there.

Here is a daily menu:


Breakfast:
3/4 c. fruit
1 low fat/ fat free yogurt or 1 soy yogurt
1 c. juice
a little ice
Mix it in a blender for a smoothie


Lunch:
1 spinach tortilla
2 tbsp. hummus
slice cucumbers
carrots

Put hummus on the tortilla and put the cucumbers on top of the hummus. Then roll it up in to a wrap. Enjoy with iced tea and carrots.



After noon snack:
An apple
a granola bar


Dinner:
Tofu
Steamed veggies
Soy sauce
Cooked brown rice

Get a frying pan and coat it with olive oil. The put the tofu in the pan and brown each side of it. Next, add the veggies. Add a little more olive oil and put in the rice. Mix everything up, top it with soy sauce, and then let it sit on the stove, occasionally stirring it to make sure it doesn't burn. After about a minute and a half of that put it in a bowl and enjoy!

How long do you have to diet to start noticing weight loss results?

Q. I'm currently sixteen years old, five feet seven inches, and one hundred-sixty pounds. I downloaded this app called Lose It and it says (for my weight) that I should only eat 1,312 calories a day. So if I stay within that budget, how long will it take for me to start noticing results? My goal weight is one hundred pounds and the app says that if I lose two pounds per week I should reach my goal by November 24th. I've never dieted before so I no pretty much nothing about this. I also exercise every night with an app called Easy Abs. Thank you to anyone who answers!


Answer
Yikes! That is scary!!!! Do NOT lose that much weight in that short amount of time, it's extremely unhealthy. What I suggest you download is an app called FitnessPal. I use it. The healthy calorie intake for me is 1800 calories a day. But I drink skim milk, eat whole wheat bread, and eat lots of veggies. I treat myself to junk once a week, like a small cookie.
I also run on the treadmill for 30 minutes every other day. Some days I do a Julien Micheals workout.

I was overweight before, and I've the course of four months I now have abs! :)
The calories don't matter as much, but Fitness Pal gives you a way to view the sugar and fat intake as well. Don't get too obsessed with the calories, exercising or weight. The best thing to do is to read up on healthy foods. I could give an example of what I eat pretty much.
Breakfast:
2 large eggs with chopped peppers and tomatoes in it, 2 Morningstar sausage, 1 banana, 1 cup skim milk.
OR (different day) 2 cups of 80 calorie fiber one chocolate cereal with 1 cup skim milk
Lunch:
Apple, Clementine, 2 pieces of whole wheat bread, 1 oz. Cheese, 1 oz almonds, fat free yogurt, tuna in water, 2 tablespoons mayo
OR (different day) Turkey sandwich instead of tunafish
Dinner:
Recipe out of the south beach diet
Or a salad with lots of different veges
