Why a Vegetable-Based Diet Doesn't Lead to Weight Loss
Vegetarianism...
Eating no meat or fish at all...
A vegetarian diet...
Only eating brown rice and other grains...
These words might create a strong impression of weight loss, but the truth is that a vegetable-based diet is not suitable for dieting or body shaping and comes with many other disadvantages, including rebound weight gain.
In fact, there are many cases where people don't lose weight on a vegetarian diet, gain weight despite a diet with no meat or fish, gain weight after becoming a vegetarian, or don't lose weight with a grain-focused diet.
For women especially, a vegetarian or vegetable-based diet often leads to failure in dieting and body shaping.
Why is this? Why don't they lose weight beautifully?
The only way to raise your basal metabolism, which accounts for 70% of your body's energy consumption, is to increase muscle mass. This is because basal metabolic rate is proportional to muscle mass. In other words, if you increase your muscle, your body will burn more calories even when you're still or sleeping, turning you into a lean body that burns fat.
Including these factors, increasing muscle mass is the first condition for dieting and body shaping.
To raise your basal metabolism, which makes up 70% of your body's energy consumption, you must increase muscle. Losing muscle is a fatal blow to dieting and body shaping.
So, why is a vegetable-based diet so bad?
Because it leads to a complete lack of protein, the material needed to build muscle.
Most people on a vegetable-based diet get their protein only from plants (like soybeans).
Although plant-based protein is often called "high-quality protein," its absorption rate in the body is actually very poor, making it an unsuitable food source for dieting and body shaping. The absorption rate is said to be especially poor for Asians.
"But all the celebrities overseas do it..."
You might be thinking that, but this is a big trap.
The internal body structure of Westerners and Asians is different, so their protein absorption is different as well.
In other words, people who eat a vegetable-based diet may feel like they are working hard, but they are actually creating a body that gains weight easily.
This is a truly terrible situation where your body shaping efforts are backfiring.
You should now understand that a vegetable-based diet or a diet solely on plant-based protein won't work for dieting or body shaping.
For example, top models are so obsessed with maintaining their physique that they make a point of eating an appropriate amount of protein with every meal.
Of course, eating too much protein is also not good. The key is the right amount for you—not too much, not too little.
Furthermore, haven't many women who switched to a vegetable-based diet found their skin and hair becoming dry and rough?
That's because your hair and skin are also made of protein.
As you can see, a vegetable-based diet not only fails to help with dieting and body shaping but also has numerous downsides for women.
If you are misled by the media and don't do things based on physiology, all your body shaping efforts will be for nothing, no matter how hard you try.
A diet consisting solely of vegetables is a personal philosophy and should not be denied.
However, philosophy and physical changes are two different things.
Dieting and body shaping are simply chemical reactions.
It might be a good idea to remember that philosophy and body shaping exist on different dimensions.
You made the decision to do body shaping, but wouldn't it be a waste of your time and effort if you chose a roundabout or incorrect method?
As a personal trainer, I, Toshiaki Ozeki, have been involved in personal training for many years, and I have seen many people who work hard but see no results and waste their efforts.

Body Shaping Methods
Many women think they should do more lower body exercises to slim their lower body! Are you also focusing blindly on lower body exercises because you want to slim your lower body? However, if the form doesn't match your skeletal structure, your hips and thighs might actually get bigger with muscle development. This is the dilemma of lower body exercises - even though you're doing body shaping...
From the extensive model guidance experience of personal trainer Toshiaki Ozeki, who has the #1 track record in model body shaping, it has been discovered that top models have developed what are called "model muscles" - muscle areas that ordinary people don't have. If you develop model muscles, you can achieve a model skeleton and automatically get a model body type. With model muscles, you can achieve the same straight, linear model body lines as top models.
Does doing lots of abdominal exercises remove fat from the waist? If you think so, that's a big problem! To conclude, body shaping is not that simple. Conversely, belly fat can be removed and the waist can be slimmed without doing abdominal exercises. To change a body that's hard to lose weight, you need authentic women's body shaping that produces results.
Slender, straight, thin stick legs - so-called model legs - have become essential not just for models but for all women in today's fashion-forward world where showing legs is mainstream. While model leg body shaping tends to focus only on making legs thinner, the key point of model leg body shaping is creating the straight, linear appearance of the legs.
In model body type body shaping, we reduce overall fat, change the shape of areas of concern, adjust posture and skeletal silhouette to straight joint angles, and organize body type lines. We polish the model body type by developing the same model muscles as top models. Finally, we add model body functions to achieve perfect finishing - this is true model body type body shaping.
To slim and beautifully shape your calves, you first need to objectively determine the cause of your thick calves. Causes of thick calves include: ① fat accumulation causing thickness, ② muscle causing thickness, ③ a combination of both. For cases ② and ③, body shaping that reduces calf muscle is essential.
While "pelvis" has become a standard term in women's body shaping and women's diet training, there are endless consultations about pelvis body shaping: "I didn't lose weight in a feminine way," "I didn't get a slender model-like body type," "I didn't lose weight at all"... Aren't you fed up with body shaping that uses the plausible-sounding word "pelvis" to obscure what's really happening?
Women with good posture are beautiful and cool. Good posture alone makes you look slimmer. Everyone surely thinks so. Even if you work hard to lose weight and diet, if you don't have beautiful posture, you won't look slender and your body shaping efforts will be wasted, won't they? In authentic body shaping, we don't leave posture to conscious effort - beautiful posture is achieved through body shaping training that changes the underlying skeletal joint angles.
Have you experienced doing upper arm exercises to slim your upper arms but finding that your upper arms don't get thinner? Or dieting but your upper arms don't look thinner? You might hear that you should do lots of upper arm exercises because your upper arms are a concern, but you've probably already realized that doing only upper arm exercises has almost no effect on reducing upper arm fat or slimming them.
Do you really understand the body mechanisms for weight loss and the systems that enable dieting? Is not eating the best way to lose weight? Is exercise unnecessary for weight loss? Can you lose weight by going to diet gyms or women's exclusive body shaping gyms? Does cardio burn fat? Foods introduced on TV one after another and exercise books lining bookstore shelves... The honest truth is you don't know which ones are really effective!!
