i’m vegetarian but i would like to go on a diet plan.
however, most diet plans that i have seen include meat products.
if anyone has any good diet plans that are fully vegetarian, i would love to see them.X

When you say “diet”, do you mean you want to go on a diet to temporarily lose weight, then go back to your regular eating habits? Or do you mean you want to change your diet. Keep in mind, “going on a diet” will only mean that once you “go off the diet” you will gain weight.
A good daily diet would be consist of about 5 or 6 meals; breakfast being the largest, then getting progressively smaller until the smallest meal at the end of the day.
If you want to keep it vegetarian and healthy, try the following:
- 1st meal: Oatmeal mixed with flax meal, blueberries, vegan butter, a little soy milk, maybe some peanut butter or coconut mixed in. Followed with an apple or banana, or both.
- 2nd meal: A large romaine and spinach salad, mix in some cooked tempeh (high in protein and fiber), sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper, broccoli sprouts, carrots. Dressing should be olive-oil and balsamic. Maybe add some vegan type cheese.
- 3rd meal: Some whole wheat pasta, mixed with pasta sauce, fresh or cooked tomatoes, cooked seitan (it’s vegan, but like a chicken type substitute), green pepper and onion.
Or, make a stir-fry if you don’t like pasta. Use only seitan, peppers, carrots, broccoli, a light stir-fry sauce (or just olive-oil and curry and seasoning)
- 4th meal: celery and peanut butter. A piece of fruit. A protein bar or soymilk/protein shake.
- 5th meal: A peice of fruit, whole wheat crackers and a glass of red wine.

this is the best food ever! and i am not a vegetarian!
Ratatouille:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1 large onion, quartered and thinly sliced
1 small eggplant, cubed
2 green bell peppers, coarsely chopped
4 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped, or 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes
3 to 4 small zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 teaspoon dried leaf basil
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
In a 4-quart Dutch oven or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add eggplant; stir until coated with oil. Add peppers; stir to combine. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep vegetables from sticking.
Add tomatoes, zucchini, and herbs; mix well. Cover and cook over low heat about 15 minutes, or until eggplant is tender but not too soft.
Serves 4.
