Answer to Question 1

Vegans avoid all animal products such as meats, milk, and dairy products, which can contribute high levels of saturated fats and calories to their diet. They will likely consume fewer excess calories, which will result in less weight gain. A lower saturated fat intake may decrease the levels of LDL in the blood, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Vegans eat more whole grains, nuts, fruits, and vegetables to obtain all of the essential amino acids. These foods leave them feeling fuller after eating, making them less likely to over-consume calories and gain weight. These foods also contain fiber, which may reduce the levels of cholesterol in the blood.
Vegans tend to live more active lifestyles, so they are likely to expend more calories each day. This will result in less weight gain as well.
