If you're looking to lose weight but want to avoid the hazards of the high-protein fad diets, consider replacing animal products with low-fat plant foods.

Research shows that vegetarians are not only, on average, 10 percent slimmer than omnivores, but they are also at dramatically lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer and a host of other diseases. Plus, the food is delicious and easy to prepare.
