Water for boiling
1/2 lb Quarter inch rice sticks

2 cup Fresh snow peas, trimmed
16 medium Shrimp, shelled
1 Clove garlic, minced
1 Shallot, minced
2/3 cup Fresh lime juice
1/2 cup Fish sauce*
1/2 cup Water
4 tbsp Sugar
1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes

-thinly sliced
1 cup Fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, roughly
-chopped, 1/4 to 1/2 cup

Bring one large pot and one medium-size pot of water to a boil. Drop
the snow peas into the medium-size pot and cook for about 10 seconds
(they will turn bright green). Remove them from the pot with a
slotted spoon and rinse under cold water.
When the water in the medium-size pot has returned to a boil, add the
shrimp and cook for 2 minutes, or until opaque. Drain, and rinse
shrimp under cold water. Set aside.
Add the rice noodles to the large pot of boiling water. Boil for 4-5
minutes, drain, and rinse under cold water.
In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, shallot, lime juice, fish
sauce, 1/2 cup water, sugar, and pepper flakes until the sugar is
dissolved. Divide the dressing into four small bowls.
Pile the lettuce leaf "cups" in the center of a large platter.
Surround the lettuce with separate mounds of carrot, bean sprouts,
cucumber, scallion, mint. cilantro, snow peas, noodles, and shrimp.
Give each person a plate upon which to put a lettuce leaf cup. Fill
each lettuce cup with a tiny bit of ingredient, drizzle with the
dressing, and roll up in the shape of a cylinder.

If you really want to lose weight and also increase your overall physical condition, then you should make plans to commence a carefully designed healthy nutrition system. In a perfect world, this must comprise five helpings of fruit & veg daily and take in the right combination of protein, carbs and fats.
When chosing foods for dieting, dieters usually become obsessed with retail store and branded foods labelled as 'low fat'. To do this is frequently wrong, insofar as a food product might just be very low in fats, but still much too high in carbs & calories.
When deciding on a dietary regime, the most important step is to make efforts to reduce intake of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.
