Vegans have gotten a pretty bad rep over the past couple of years due to some of their extreme behaviors to raise awareness. However, vegan diets are becoming increasingly popular for those who want to drop some weight. On top of dropping a few sizes, a vegan diet has numerous other health benefits such as it is richer in certain nutrients, it appears to lower blood sugar levels and improve kidney function, it may protect against certain cancers, it is linked to a lower risk of heart disease and it can reduce pain from arthritis.
