Research has shown that vegetarians are generally healthier than people who eat meat. A low fat vegetarian diet is also good for weight loss which is an added benefit.
Vegetarians are also less likely to be overweight, have high blood pressure, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or colon cancer.
The chances of people who have a vegan diet dying from heart disease are much lower. Vegetarians have lower blood pressure even when they eat the same amount of salt as meat eaters and exercise less.

Many people who struggle to lose weight may find that an imbalance in their hormones may be the cause.
While it has been documented that there are conditions where a hormonal imbalance may have a negative impact on the metabolism many physicians insist that such conditions only affect a small percentage of the obese population and that most overweight people simply eat too much and/or exercise too little.
