Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) released a new study demonstrating that a vegan diet is the best plan for long-term weight loss. The study, published in the September issue of Obesity, showed that women who adopt a vegan diet, especially when they receive group support, lose weight and keep it off. The study participants included 64 overweight, postmenopausal women who

were randomly assigned to either a low-fat vegan diet or a conventional low-fat diet following the National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines. The vegan group lost a median of 11 pounds compared to four pounds for the control group. To read the full article, click here! Inspiration Truth is the Real Treat The Northern Vegans group started the best way a vegetarian group could: with a dinner! The group has a least one social event a month including potlucks, restaurants, hikes, and picnics on

the beach. Events are free and open to everyone. Together with their website, they help connect people interested in Veganism. Northern Vegans is dedicated to educating people by giving lectures and distributing tons of literature. Some members maintain extensive lending libraries encouraging people to check out books and videos about a vegan lifestyle. The group recently donated books to a public library in Marquette, MI and will have a display there during the month of November. Northern Vegans also works closely with the Northern Michigan University student group, NMU Veg(an)etarians. Together, they co-sponsored the World Farm Animals Day movie presentation of “Eating.” The event was heavily promoted with flyers, press releases, a letter to 40 area doctors, and a radio and TV interview.
