We love slow cooker meals because they are easy, convenient and tasty. Even better are slow cooker meals that help you lose weight and get healthy. You'll find that when you eat a vegetarian or vegan diet, you'll be eating a lot more nutrient-dense food while keeping your calories very low. That's not to say that ALL vegan and vegetarian food is low calorie. You'll still need to watch your intake of fats and higher calorie foods, but you'll also find that you retain the "full" feeling longer because your body is getting more of the nutrients it needs. Some of the recipes are good for detox and they are noted as such. All of the recipes are vegetarian or vegan and most of them will help you to lose weight as well. Some of the dessert recipes are a little higher in calories so use them sparingly.
