Makes no difference where those calories come from. As has been discussed here many times, a vegetarian diet can also be an unhealthy diet. If one sticks to veggies, fruit, whole grains, beans, etc., and eats them in moderation it's unlikely that they'll have weight issues. One has to eliminate 3,500 calories from one's diet to lose a pound. TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
