Plant based diet: Kelly, For weight loss, the best diet is one which includes whole foods, avoids processed foods, and incorporates as many plant foods and as few animal products as possible. Vegans on average are far thinner than omnivores, have fewer chronic diseases, and live about 7 years longer. Don't forget regular exercise. For further info, see my website: www.devolvehealth.com
