[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You really need to consume a large quantity of food to get to a high protein vegan diet.  Which can be difficult to do if you are not hungry.

I just watched a new documentary on netflix You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment, about sets of identical Twins on two different diets -

1 twin was on a ominvore diet
1 twin was on a vegan diet

Both received a healthy diet plan. Then they monitored health, energy, muscle mass, fat (including viseral fat), even sexual urges based on before and after for each twin.

And what was the result? [/quote]

the documentary is vegan-biased, so I think you know what the "results" were[/quote]

Not really.  The results were a bit all over.

There were four sets of twins that they followed in the film (though more were enrolled in the study).  Some lost muscle mass, and vegans had a more difficult time maintaining muscle, but their health numbers did improve.  If you are interested in gaining or maintaining muscle mass, I would stick with a healthy omnivore diet instead. If you are interested in improving health, but don't really care about about the scale or body comp, then go with the vegan diet.

Here's the actual study - https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2812392[/quote]
