Go vegan if you want to lose weight

The Mediterranean diet may be good for us—but going vegan is better if we want to lose weight.

The diet’s focus on plant-based foods, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes, helps shed the pounds more effectively than the Med diet, which includes animal fats and oils.

Even the ‘unhealthy’ plant foods, such as fruit juices, refined grains and potatoes, didn’t slow weight loss, say researchers from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

In two studies, the researchers found that the vegan diet was a more effective way to lose weight, and they suspect that meat is one of the main culprits that puts on the pounds.
