Vegetarian Diet

My wife is a vegetarian and she is trying to lose weight (Or Fat), what would be that best way for her to do this. Have any examples?

when I was a vegetarian I always had a stomach and now I know why-that diet is not good due to the lack of protein and overabundance of carbs-she should think about the metabolic diet

I guess she'd wanna stick to lots of egg whites, skim milk and vegetables (expecially peas and beans) and ease back on fruit and sugary things....

It doesn't really matter if she's a vego or if she eats small children. She needs to decrease her calorie intake, increase her energy expenditure (preferably with high quality weight training), and work out a mcaronutrient balance which she eats 5-6 times per day. 50:30:20 or 40:30:30 ratios are a good place to start with 12 times her bodyweight (in lbs) for calories.
