A Scientific Review Proved That Vegetarian Diets Result in Major Weight Loss

There was an important study done in Washington in 2006 on the benefits of vegetarianism. The results showed that switching to a vegetarian diet will absolutely result in significant weight loss.

This study also showed that the body weight in female and male vegetarians is 5% to 20% lower than that of your average meat eater. The anticipated weight loss on a standard vegetarian diet is 1 pound a week, again without additional exercise or any other changes in habits, and with no limits placed on carbohydrates, calories or portion sizes.

The reason is the vegan diet causes more of a calorie burn after eating so, in essence, these foods are used more efficiently by the body, and do not result in being stored as fat, as meat would be. This also means anyone can consume unlimited amounts of what you would expect in a vegetarian diet, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains and maintain an optimum body weight, without experiencing the hunger you would expect with many diet plans.

This author stopped eating meat a month ago, and I have lost 5 pounds with no other changes in habit whatsoever. It is surprisingly easy to do. The reason I switched is I saw the film “Meet Your Meat”, and that was the end of it for me.

In addition, there was a study done in Sweden of 55,000 swedish women who stopped eating meat and switched to a vegetarian diet. These women gained significantly less weight than meat eaters over a five year period. This is exciting news for dieters. One pound a week with no extra effort is worth serious consideration!
