Eat vegetables to be healthy

With all the national attention given to America's obesity crisis, it's shocking that obesity rates have risen in 31 states since last year, according to the Trust for America's Health. No state has shown a decline. Could it be that fast food, fried chicken wings and greasy cheeseburgers are sabotaging our fight against fat?

As a dietitian, I know that millions of Americans are struggling to lose weight. As long as we continue to eat high-fat meat and dairy products and sugary, processed junk foods, weight loss will be difficult. But studies have shown that a vegan diet is a powerful tool for controlling body weight. A growing body of scientific research - including the comprehensive China Health Study - suggests that people who maintain a healthy weight tend to eat a low-fat, plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans. In fact, a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that vegetarians weigh significantly less than their meat-eating counterparts.

America needs a diet makeover - not more pills or quick-fix weight-loss schemes - and a vegan diet can help. For more information about transitioning to a healthier diet, go to www.GoVegetarian.org.
