Lose weight faster with a plant-based diet

For centuries, nutritionists have tried to get to the heart of the question: Which diet is the most effective? Trends like the Atkins diet were very popular in the 1990s; Then paleo, keto, and low-carb diets hit the headlines, and today one in three people do intermittent fasting.

But it doesn’t have to be just meat. The “Planetary Health Diet” developed by scientists pursues goals other than simply losing weight: reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, protecting biodiversity, not expanding arable land further, and tackling water scarcity. This diet is healthy, keeps you slim and also helps stop climate change.

Lose weight without counting calories

However, according to research, the most effective method is quite simple: Eat more vegetables. You don’t need to become a vegetarian or switch to a completely vegan diet right away. However, if you are careful to replace certain animal products with plant-based foods, you can effectively lose weight without having to meticulously count calories. At least, this is the claim of the ‘Obesity Association’, which deals with obesity on its website.

Vegetables have less sugar and fat

Vegetables not only have fewer calories than animal or processed foods. It also contains less sugar, fat and other harmful additives that are added to many foods during processing. Instead, the fiber found in vegetables allows the feeling of fullness to settle faster and the body to digest meals better.

To gradually transition to a healthier, plant-based diet, you can start by cooking a side of green vegetables at each meal. As a challenge, you can try to avoid meat and other animal products altogether at least once a week — if not a few — days. (CENTIMETER)
