Vegetarian diets do away with excess flab

Posted on Nov 15th 2006 2:01PM by Brian White
A new research study has shown that people who followed a vegetarian diet for at least one year lost more weight than those on a low-fat diet. In other words, toss the beef...and chicken and fish as well.

The "vegetarians for a year" group also got rid of excess body flab in much higher amounts than those who continued to include meat in their diets.

Lora Burke, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh, stated that "you will lose weight and have significant improvements in your heart disease risk profile" -- if you stick to a vegetarian diet, that is.
