Vegetables are versatile, nutritious, and plantiful this time of year.
A recent study revealed that overweight people who ate a low calorie vegetarian diet, that was also low in carbohydrates, for a mere month lost weight. This test diet was chiefly plant based. Proteins eaten were also made up of plant based foods like beans and legumes.
Not only did subjects lose weight, they experienced improvements in blood cholesterol levels and lowered other heart disease risk factors like blood prssure. The report was published in the June 8th 2009 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.

Interesting.
I think you're talking about the article called "The Effect of a Plant-Based Low-Carbohydrate ("Eco-Atkins") Diet on Body Weight and Blood Lipid Concentrations in Hyperlipidemic Subjects."
I'm trying a plant-based low-calorie, low-carb diet based mostly on monounsaturated fats from avocado, and it seems to be working to lower both my diabetic blood sugars and my weight.
And I'm also learning about fun things like induction flu and headaches.
plant-based!!!
pretty new thingy I'm hearing.... but, sounds like a good fat loss diet...
I'll have to do more research on this!
