7 Great Reasons to
Choose a Vegan Weight Loss Diet

Here are our 7 favorite reasons to choose a Vegan weight loss diet:

1. Our bodies have no nutritional requirements for any animal products.

We do not need to eat animal protein (meat), the mammary secretions from animals (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc.), or any other body part of animals. In fact, study after study proves we would actually be healthier if we completely eliminated food from animal origin from our diets. According to T. Colin Campbell, PhD, in his book “The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health ,” “There are virtually no nutrients in animal-based foods that are not better provided by plants.”

2. You’ll feel better and have more energy!

Animal foods are laden with saturated fats and chemicals. Without those icky things in your body, you’ll lower your odds of getting cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and numerous other diseases related to an animal-based diet. And of course, with more energy, you’ll be more active, and the more active you are, the more calories you’ll burn!

3. You’ll look more youthful and vibrant!

A Vegan Weight Loss diet is more cleansing, easier on your body, and much more nourishing than eating anything that comes from an animal. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and grains contain more phyto-nutrients, water, antioxidants and fiber—all of which cause your cells to thrive, thus you as a whole will thrive.

4. You’ll be skinnier!

Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes are more nutrient-dense, yet lower calories than animal products. So, ounce per ounce, a plant-based diet has a more vitamins and minerals than an animal-based diet, but with fewer calories.

5. Eating a Vegan Weight Loss d diet will save you money!!

And who doesn’t want to save money? In the beginning, as you’re transitioning, it may cost a bit more as you figure things out, but once you’re settle into your new lifestyle and eating habits you’ll see your grocery bills decline.

6. Psychologically, emotionally, you’ll feel more peaceful.

You won’t be contributing to the needless deaths of Billions of innocent animals, the destruction of thousands of acres of land (needed for cattle grazing or food production for animals), and in relation to #4, you’ll be contributing to the betterment of our planet—how amazing you’ll feel knowing you’re making this world a more peaceful place simply by choosing to eat a plant-based diet.

7. You’ll be doing yourself, your family, and the planet a huge service!

It takes enormous amounts more soil/land, water, and fossil fuels to meet the needs of a person eating a diet based on the consumption of animals than a person eating a plant-based diet
