Can I Lose Weight Eating Fruit
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. 
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.
