If the former simply refuse to eat all kinds of meat, the latter do not consume all products of animal origin - that is, in addition to meat, they do not eat eggs and milk. As a rule, the question of how to lose weight a vegan is not a problem. But ordinary people, accustomed to another diet, are not always able to withstand such a regime.

• all kinds of meat, poultry, fish;
• any eggs;
• milk and all dairy products;
• fastfood - french fries, chips, crunches, etc .;
