Hi Alison! Good to have you here! What about the Mediterranean Diet? Its main foods are plant-based foods: fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds. Here's a link to a Mayo Clinic article about it: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-li...t/art-20047801. We have a Mediterranean Diet Forum here, I'm not sure how active it is, but here's the link: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/sono...nean-diet-188/. Good luck with whatever diet plan you choose!

Welcome Allison! Hula hooping is a great exercise, so keep that up for sure! As far as diet, just watch the carbs and count your calories. I know as a vegetarian it can sometimes be easy to replace the meat with carbs, but as long as you eat lots of protein and veggies, you'll be good! Good luck!

Thanks girls xx
