Default is it easier to lose weight on a vegan, or a vegetarian diet?

assuming both diets follow proper nutrition, including vitamin supplements if necessary
what's wrong with someone who is overweight trying to learn more about losing weight?
p.s. it's none of your business, if you don't have the answer to my question then don't respond with silly accusations.

It's not necessarily easier to lose weight on either diet. I'm a vegetarian and I would like to lose weight but I don't really make it easy for myself. I love carbs, that's something that's easy to come across for most vegetarians. Most of the food I can find around here, whether I'm eating out or at home, is pasta. Lots of carbs there. This omnivorous world doesn't make it easy for us. I'm not trying to discourage you from this choice, just think about it. Also think of the animals. They don't like suffering any more than we do...

you ask too many weight loss questions. I looked through your previous questions. It seems weight loss is taking over your mind. I hope your not trying to be anorexic. That's bad.

Definitely vegan. I've been vegetarian for 11 years and have maintained a healthy weight, and last year when I went vegan I lost about 8 to 10 pounds. Reducing your cheese, cream, and milk intake defintely is a great way to lose weight.

First off, the main idea of veganism and vegetarianism is not to lose weight. If you are going to become either one you better have the right idea in mind, more about caring for animals and the treatment of them.

Losing weight-wise, it all depends on what the vegan eats on a daily basis and how much calorie intake they get. I am a vegetarian and its not like im a stick or anything. Just because you dont eat meat or chicken or anything like that doesnt mean you are going to lose the weight faster. Some meats are actually healtier than just skipping out on them completely. The key to losing weight is the balance of diet, exercise, and healthy choices. Not being a vegetarian or vegan.

ok ~Misty~ it is none of your business what kind of questions she asks!!! maybe she just wants to lose weight!!!! so next time keep your nose out of other peoples business!!! OH yes and the answer to your question is vegan!!!! because you are cutting out all the fattening product is like meat and cheese but you have to remember that you can not just eat french fries you need a well balanced meals with lots of whole grains, fruits, veggies, and drink lots of water!!!! also a thing most people do when they go vegan is they cut out all the junk food like sodas cakes (well you can eat them sometimes but not everyday) l have cut out junk food for 2 years now and it is not that hard to do!!!!
