CONFIRMED: THIS DIET DOUBLES WEIGHT LOSS  
If you really needed another reason to eat your veggies, here it is.
We already know how essential vegetables are to our diets — they nourish our bodies with nutrients as well as keep us thin and satiated thanks to belly-filling fiber. But did you know that vegetarians can lose more weight than folks depriving themselves on a low-calorie diet?
A new study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition discovered that people who switched to a vegetarian diet improved their metabolism by reducing muscle fat, which is found both on the surface and inside of the muscles. “Vegetarian diets proved to be the most effective diets for weight loss,” the study’s lead author, Dr. Hana Kahleová, explained in a press release. “However, we also showed that a vegetarian diet is much more effective at reducing muscle fat, thus improving metabolism. This finding is important for people who are trying to lose weight, including those suffering from metabolic syndrome and/or type 2 diabetes. But it is also relevant to anyone who takes their weight management seriously and wants to stay lean and healthy.”
