This type of weight loss is far from glamorous; eating nothing by vegetables for any length of time will play havoc with your body. You can expect side effects such as stomach cramps, low energy, vomiting, and nausea - to name but a few.
A vegetable diet weight loss program is the name given to any diet that has you eating nothing but vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, sprouts etc. Sometimes you may be allowed food items like peanuts and oils to help boost your energy levels. But other than that you will just be eating vegetables.
Obviously a strict diet like this can only be kept up for a few days or a week to ten days at the very most. Before even attempting a vegetable diet weight loss program you need to consult your doctor to make sure your body is in good enough shape to be able to handle such an extreme diet.
