  • The vegan diet resulted in a significant weight reduction (0.60 kg) and improvements in insulin sensitivity compared to no changes with the Mediterranean diet.
  • Participants on the vegan diet saw a notable decrease in cholesterol levels, while the Mediterranean diet led to reductions in blood pressure, highlighting different benefits from each dietary approach.

In this study average protein intake was < 40 grams/day (12% of 1315 cals) in people losing wt on a very low-fat whole foods vegan diet. To me, it suggests this diet is not safe. Yes to vegan diets. No to restrictive versions of vegan diets. https://t.co/w6wsVjZfQb

Vegan Diet out performs a PREDIMED style Medi diet for weight loss. Around 3.4Kg more FAT LOSS over a 16week intervention. The vegan diet also reduced LDL-C by 15.3 mg/dL with no change on Medi diet. Interestingly Medi diet performed better for BP. https://t.co/9yaM6Yc6Dh
