It has been proved over and over again.


Just thought that you might want to know.


You can provide a cite I suppose? Let me guess, the esteemed "Journal
of 'Cause I Said So", May 2006 issue?


http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/...in595998.shtml gives
an example of a high-carb vegetarian diet causing weight loss without
any reduction of calories.

I suppose just about any diet shows a weight loss except the high
fructose soda pop diet.

IIRC, the body is inefficient at converting carbohydrates to fat so
that is a possible cause for the weight loss. Of course, the other
nutrients in a vegetarian diet might be helpful in burning calories.
