Since they say the vegan group lost weight, do they have an idea of how much of the benefit is from weight loss and how much from the actual food? I run into this issue when investigating fasting - if you are overweight, losing weight by whatever means will improve your cardio-metabolic profile. But if you are already lean, how much benefit, if any? They need to do these studies while holding calories and activity equal.
