Yes. The answer is yes, vegetarians can use the Calorie Shifting Plan and benefit from it. One version of the Fat-Loss-4 Idiot’s Online Diet Menu gives you alternatives to select foods you prefer. Recently they provided a sample calorie shifting vegetarian menu.

It is important to recognize different types of vegetarian diets when you are planning your calorie shifting menu. Some vegetarians permit only fruits and vegetables, including beans and nuts in their menu.  Some allow milk and other dairy products or eggs. But others are strictly vegan and do not permit any animal products of any kind.

While this does offer some challenges in following the calorie shifting diet plan it is entirely possible. Why? Because even vegetarians need to have carbohydrates, proteins and fats within their diets, though the sources and relative quantities may differ. Vegetarians are already attuned to planning vegetarian menus to ensure balanced nutrition.

The essential principles of a calorie shifting menu involve following a particular sequence of foods for 11 days and then taking a 3 day break when you can eat any foods in any sequence.  At all times during the calorie shifting plan you are allowed to eat as much as you need or want, yet you are encouraged not to overeat. This can accommodate the needs of a vegetarian menu when you plan ahead.
