Becoming a vegetarian will help lose weight and waken me up?

[shaniking]

So i need to shed 20 pounds off left, i already know about exercise, I exercise 40 min. 5 times a week. But whenever I eat meats I feel too tired for work outs and want to stop but when ever I eat healthy that day i can run the whole way through. So my question is should i become a vegetarian because it could have health benefits, give me energy, like would there be any health risks at all?

if you want to be really a vegitarian is up to you but if you just want to lose weight my findings are the you best cut down the easy carbs especially late at night. Easy carbs are especially refined stuff such as cookies, pastas, crisps etc.

You don't need to become a vegetarian to lose weight. It could help by making you eat less calories, but that's about it. It isn't magic.

Can't really answer if it's healthy or not, because is a rather controversial topic. Different people will say different things.

You can try it though, and see how it works out. But to lose weight you need a calorie deficit, not an specific diet.
