eat plenty of fruit, veggies, lean meats, and limit your bread/pasta. if you do have to eat bread or pasta, get whole grain. drink lots of water, and try to include as much physical activity as you can. i am currently trying to lose weight too. it won't come off fast, but this is the best way so your body doesn't freak out and think it's going to starve!
Why not try going to Bally Total Fitness and get a personal trainer and nutrionist that will work with you and find out what is best for your body and lifestyle.
The best "diet" out there is Weight Watchers, it is more of a lifestyle that teaches people to eat sensibly and live an active healthy lifestyle. If you are looking for a quick fix then you could do atkins, it does work, BUT you will, 90% sure, gain back any weight you lose as soon as you go back to eating normally. I have two friends who lost 7 and 5 pounds their first week on that diet. I strongly suggest looking into WW and changing your lifestyle.
First, you need to realize that SOY is terrible for you, especially when you are trying to lose weight. Soy is loaded with goitrogens that cause your thyroid gland to slow down. That is a big part of your metabolism issue. If your thyroid slows down, you will have a very tough time of losing weight.
If you don't eat the right kinds of fats, you will have a tough time losing weight. You need to eat fat to lose fat.
If you are eating foods high in carbohydrates, and low in fat, you will only get very short energy events and then your body will have cravings that are very difficult to manage. Being a vegetarian, you will have many issues with the vitamin B-12 intake that will affect your energy levels.
Primitive man ate huge amounts of animal fats & proteins and very little carbohydrates. Primitive man had NO cavities, NO heart disease, NO diabetes, NO cancer when he stuck to his primitive diets. Dr. Weston A. Price, D.D.S. traveled around the world and studied, photographed, took blood samples, took food samples of 100's of primitive people and diligently recorded his travels to primitive people's cultures. He also compared these cultures to people from those cultures that went on modern man's diets, made up of white flour, sugar, hydrogenated oils, etc. The differences were dramatic. The primitives on their indigenous diets, did not get tuberculosis like those that went on the modern diets.
His biggest disappointment was that he found NO people on vegan or total vegetarian diets that were healthy like the primitives who ate lots of fats, including saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats in a good balance. The animals they ate lived on GRASS, not grain from some feed lot like modern man's diet that generates diseases.
Stay as far away from soy as you can get! Soy Milk is terrible for you! It is loaded with sugar to mask the bitter flavor and is colored white with "titanium dioxide" or white paint. It depletes your body of minerals, especially iron. This is why so many vegetarians are anemic, due to this iron deficiency.
Get the book called, "The Whole Soy Story" if you really want to understand soy, it's origins and success and failures. Very well written and complete. It explains that TOFU was invented to keep the monks from wanting sex. It slows your libido. Men that eat lots of soy develop female qualities due to the phyto estrogens in it. I guess you could say, "Real Men Don't Eat SOY." lol.
Your diet should consist of the following ratio for good health and great body development:
40% carbs (nutrient dense only)
30% fats ( 60% monounsaturated - like olive oil, 30% saturated -- butter from raw cream, coconut oil, grass fed beef, and 10% polyunsaturated --- omega 3 & omega 6 in a 1:1 ratio)
30% protein
Those ratios of food should be eaten as organically grown and not typical chemically treated plants.
If you follow the above, you will find that your exercising will pay off in spades! 2 good books to read:
"Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" by Weston A. Price, D.D.S.
"Life Without Bread" by Christian Allan, pH.D.
good luck
