Researchers found those who followed a vegetarian diet lost about twice as much weight as those following a standard diet, with the meat-free dieters losing a total of 6.2kg over a six-month period, versus 3.2kg in those following the conventional diet. Subfascial fat (fat just under the connective tissues) was only reduced in those who followed a vegetarian diet, however this group did also see a loss in muscle mass.
