There are a lot of reasons for people to stop eating meat. But this could be an extra reason: a new link has been found between the vegetarian and vegan diets and losing weight. It might sound obvious to you, but interestingly enough, there have been few big studies showing whether people can lose weight if they cut out the meat. Researchers at Harvard University’s T. H. Chan School of Public Health found out that they can. People on vegetarian diets lost around 4.4 pounds more than people who had no change in diet, while those who went vegan dropped 5.5 pounds more. Previous research already showed that vegetarian diets lead to a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease.
