Roody seems to have jumped to a conclusion about what I'm saying; but I'd be glad to go into more detail.
I think small quantities of meat are probably alright. I still eat meat sparingly, and I'm still loosing weight.
I would place a higher emphasis on keeping away from processed foods. A vegetarian who consumes mainly breads and pastas will have the same weight trouble as a carnivore. Ice cream is a vegetarian food. So are potato chips. I am certainly not saying that by simply being a vegetarian you will loose weight.
What I am saying is that if you eat the vast majority of your calories from the right sources (unprocessed plant based fresh food) you will be filled to the point of being satisfied, (even full) at every meal, and continue to loose weight.
