Looking to ditch the ‘Quarantine 15?’ Get the scoop on trending diets – WNEP Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

Many joked about gaining the quarantine 15 when they were stuck at home for so long. Now, some popular diet trends are heating up again online.

With most gyms now back open and some people even looking to ditch those possible quarantine gains, some trending diets are creeping their way back into our social media feeds.

They include Keto, Paleo, and Vegan, just to name a few.

So what are the most significant differences between a vegan and a meat-eater diet?

Newswatch 16's Ryan Leckey teamed up with a pro to take a bite out of these topics and more.

Jessica Bachman, Ph.D., is a registered dietitian and Director of Nutrition Education for Stronger U Nutrition. It's a global nutrition coaching company with 40,000 members in 50 countries.

Ryan joined Dr. Bachman just outside of Clarks Summit on Thursday, July 9, 2020.

The following key points are from Dr. Bachman to break down the differences:

Vegan Diet

Omnivorous (Meat-Eaters) Diet

Benefits of a plant-based diet

(Almost any diet can be plant-based. It simply means you're eating lots of plant-based foods including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains)

The bottom line for weight loss:

Any diet that is well balanced and includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean protein sources will provide the greatest health benefits.

Regardless if you're following a Vegan or Meat Eater diet (or any other diet in between), eating fewer calories than you consume will lead to weight loss.

If you're struggling to lose weight and are in a calorie deficit, sleep could be an issue.
