Interested
in dropping a few pounds? You aren’t
alone. Studies
show
that 51 percent of Americans want to lose weight, but most have a hard time
making progress.
Could
a vegan diet be the answer? Quartz reports that
according to a new study from the Journal
of General Internal Medicine, it very well may be.
Researchers
compiled data from 12 different studies, and noticed a startling result: participants
on vegetarian diets lost about four and a half more pounds than people on other
diets. It was the vegans, however, that “took
the cake, dropping an incredible five and a half more pounds
than other dieters!
According
to the
study, “the abundant intake
of whole grains, fruits and vegetables might play a role in the favorable
results seen in vegetarian diets.
A
vegan diet not only aids weight loss, but has also been shown to increase life
expectancy,
stave
off heart disease, and even reverse
the effects of diabetes! For these reasons, many doctors are urging people to switch to a plant-based
diet.
