Reported by AI Image generated by AI Fact checked
A secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial reports that a low-fat vegan diet was associated with greater weight loss than a Mediterranean diet, even when the vegan menu included plant foods such as refined grains and potatoes that are labeled “unhealthful” in a common plant-based diet scoring system. The benefits were linked to replacing animal products with plant foods and limiting added oils and nuts, according to researchers from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in a study published in Frontiers in Nutrition.
