Celebrity Fit Club’s Dr. Ian Smith Has 4 Day Diet For Vegetarians
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 4th, 2009 in Authors, Food & Drink, Reality TV.
A big myth about vegetarians and vegans is that they always stay skinny and never have a need for weight loss.
While following a veg diet is more likely to result in a healthier body mass, veg folks can load up on too many vegan cookies, pour a whole bottle of olive oil to saute the vegetables, and stuff their faces with high, empty caloric vegetarian food too.
Then suddenly, their organic cotton pants start to burst.
Dr. Ian Smith, diet expert on VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club, was recently online to answer questions about healthy eating, exercise, and weight loss. His 4 Day Diet plan explained in his book, 4 Day Diet, can be adapted for many people, including vegetarians, as he explained.
What is the best diet for vegetarians? Since all the food we consume has so much of carb and sugar, how can we substitute protein with all the veggies and fruits? What are the options we have for following Atkins or South Beach? Thanks.
Dr. Ian Smith: On my diet, The 4 Day Diet, vegetarians are having great success, because they can make the substitutions they need to make. The program is very flexible for all types of eating styles whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan, diabetic, etc. If you want non-animal protein, you can load up on legumes and beans and things like chickpeas and lentils. If you eat eggs, egg whites are full of protein also.
