Vegans have a slightly higher metablolic rate during rest, meaning that they burn up more calories as body heat rather than storing them as body fat. This small increase in the rate of caloric expenditure means a huge amount of calories burned with no additional effort.
How to put this info to work for you: If you are not a vegetarian or a vegan, you can start by making a simple choice: Opt for the plant food rather than for the animal food. For instance, when dining out, choose the marina sauce over pasta instead of steak. Meatless chili instead of chicken cordon bleu. Bring a plant-based lunch to work: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and a spritz of raspberry vinegar all wrapped in a tortilla. Dessert? Apple crisp instead of cheese cake.
It's all about the plants.
I know, you're thinking, "Where will I get my protein?" That's a subject we'll discuss soon. Just know that vegetarians and vegans get all the protein they need in their plant foods.You can ask the vegan athletes.
Americans eat too much protein, anyway.
