Refrigerator Raid: Lose Weight With A Vegetarian Diet
Refrigerator Raider reports on a WebMD study showing more people Lose Weight With A Vegetarian Diet
After 18 months, the vegetarians lost an average of 11.2 pounds. The other dieters lost an average of 10.4 pounds. That may not seem like a significant difference. However, one of the reasons for this may be because not all the vegetarians were able to stick with a meat-free diet. Among the vegetarians who actually followed the vegetarian plan for the entire study, the average weight loss was 16.5 pounds.
Our Calorie-restricted diet is off to a strong start, with 2.5 pounds gone in the first week. It is not vegetarian because it is damn hard to get 100 grams of veggie-based protein in a day. But there is no doubt that healthy servings of vegetables help curb the appetite for little added calorie cost.
