Note that later in the story it says:

They were, however, told to avoid added

oils, nuts and seeds to keep their fat intake down.

In other words portion size WAS restricted.

Women in the comparison group followed a diet based on National

Cholesterol Education Program guidelines, which meant restricting fat

to less than 30 percent of calories and protein to about 15 percent of

calories.

ly 30% fat is not much of a restriction

Participants, who ranged in age from 44 to 73, also attended weekly

meetings that included nutrition and cooking lessons.

Based on dietary records the women kept, both groups ended up reducing

their calorie intake by almost 400 calories per day, on average. But

those on the vegan diet lost more weight.

maybe, I am curious which group would be more likely to not write down

their failures?

It is wise, he noted, to take a multivitamin, particularly to get

enough vitamin B12, which is found naturally only in animal products.

in other words a vegan diet is clearly not natural, else no pill would

be needed.

I have no objection to whatever an individual decides, but it seems to

me that a diet that requires sublementation is not a good diet.

However, one fish dish a week would be enough for the b12 I think.
