Switch To A Vegetarian Diet For Better Metabolism
Don't you always wonder if there was an easier way to lose weight and
stay slim? Perhaps, there is, at least, if this new study, published in a Journal of Nutrition, is to be believed. All
you need to do is switch to a vegetarian diet. According to
researchers, eating a diet full of vegetables, grains, legumes, fruits
and nuts can be twice as effective in helping you lose weight as
conventional low-calorie diets.
A vegetarian diet means higher consumption of fiber, essential nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, and magnesium, unsaturated fats, and numerous phytochemicals. This leads to lower cholesterol levels, stable blood pressure, reduced risk of heart disease and better weight management.
For the study, the team randomly assigned 74 people to follow either a vegetarian or a conventional diet. In both cases, the participants could only consume 500 kilocalories per day. The results showed that both the diets caused a similar reduction in subcutaneous fat which refers to the fat under the skin. But interestingly, it was noted that the sub-fascial fat which is the fat on the surface of muscles was only reduced in response to a vegetarian diet and so did the intramuscular fat which is the fat found inside the muscles.
These results can also be significant for people with type 2 diabetes as increased sub-fascial fat has been linked to insulin resistance and also because reducing intramuscular fat can help improve muscular strength and mobility, particularly in older people with diabetes.
On an average, participants who followed a vegetarian diet lost 6.2 kilos as compared to those who followed the conventional diet and lost 3.2 kilos. The researchers concluded that a vegetarian diet can help in losing muscle fat which improves glucose and lipid metabolism and that is a better way to lose weight than going on a crash diet.
