Comparison of Diets for Weight Loss
A recent study indicates that a vegetarian diet can lead to more significant weight loss compared to a conventional diet that includes meat and fish. In the study involving 74 participants with type 2 diabetes, those on a vegetarian diet lost an average of 6.2 kilograms, almost double the 3.2 kilograms lost by those following a conventional diet, despite both groups consuming 500 fewer calories daily. The vegetarian diet mainly consisted of vegetables, grains, legumes, fruits, and limited dairy, emphasizing high-fiber and low-fat foods. This finding challenges common assumptions about weight loss and suggests that a plant-based diet might be particularly beneficial for specific populations struggling with obesity.
