Vegetarian food should be natural.
Whether vegetarianism is the right way to lose weight depends on whether the food we eat is mainly natural vegetarianism. Most of the food eaten by urban people is refined food, which can be digested without consuming a lot of energy. White rice, bread, cake, potato chips, instant noodles, etc. All belong to this refined food. Because the digestion time is fast, there will be news soon that you are hungry. If you eat more food than you consume energy, there will be an obesity crisis.
People need to eat is a natural physical function, forcing themselves to diet and lose weight, the needs of the body can not be met. Although they may lose weight in a short time, long-term inhibition will have the opposite effect, which will affect metabolism, slow it down, and even lead to anorexia and bulimia.
Vegetarianism should also be selective in diet.

For example, if you only eat a few pieces of butter with 500 calories, you will naturally feel hungry after eating it, but if you eat 500 calories of natural vegetarian food, such as 250 calories of potatoes and 250 calories of tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, radishes and green beans, you will be quite full. If you want to follow a vegetarian diet, you should ban all kinds of meat and try to reduce or not eat oil.

Natural grains-barley, brown rice, millet, oats, wheat, etc.
