Can you Lose Weight on just eating vegetables, fruit, and drinking 1-2 litre water?
Are vegetarian diets considered healthy if the person only eats fruits, legumes and vegetables – with no added vitamins? I know it is in probably not healthy in a way, but would they lose weight by eating:
Breakfast: 1x medium apple
Snack: 30g (or handful) of unsalted, mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc).
Lunch: 1/2 cup of raw, peeled carrots
Dinner: Chickpeas and boiled vegetables
Water: 1-2 litres a day
Exercise: 2km of Cardio (which generally takes me fifteen minutes depending on intensity)
Plus weight training 3×15 reps.
I am feeling very insecure with my body – magazines and the media have definitely influenced this – and would really like to lose weight from 108Lbs to 103 Lbs. For me, I just want to gain self-respect, and start liking my body and myself for who I am. So, do you think I could lose weight by just eating vegetables and fruit? Thanks.

First of all, how much do you weigh?
That will have a lot to do with how much weight you can lose without being unhealthy.
Second of all, why should you let the media and magazines influence your image?
I mean, being healthy is great, but you should want to be fit because you care about your health, not because you think Paris Hilton is a role model. Don’t you have a brain of your own? Why not think for yourself? (PS I’m not trying to be mean… It’s called tough love okay?)
Nutritionally, yes, vegetarian diets are perfectly sound (if anyone tells you otherwise, and a lot of people will, I 100% GUARANTEE that they are wrong).
That said, the diet you listed doesn’t seem to satisfy the caloric needs of a sedentary person, let alone someone who does mild exercise like yourself. You’re on the right track, but even people who are trying to lose weight need SOME grains and starches.
For breakfast, add whole wheat toast or oatmeal or something of that sort. For snack, add some kind of vegetable in addition to the nuts. For lunch, the carrots are good, but again, add more food. Make a sandwich with whatever veggies you have at home, or make some stir fry. For dinner, that actually sounds good.
With all the fat, waddling americans (at 108 lbs, you probably don’t qualify as this), there is a lot of bull put out by capitalist “doctors”. Ignore the fads, and stick to good old fashioned nutritional density.
That no way satisfies the caloric needs of ANYONE, let alone someone exercising. You are getting minimal protein, as well as no calcium, iron, vitamin B12…etc. If you are interested in becoming a vegetarian, consult your parents or other family members who live with you, as well as your PCP and a nutritionist. You must do it safely, or your health will suffer greatly.
I don’t know how tall you are, but I guarantee you that 103 pounds is probably underweight for your height. Don’t be stupid.
