Does a Nitric Oxide Rich Plant-Based, Vegan Diet Help You Lose Weight?

Does a Nitric Oxide Rich Plant-Based, Vegan Diet Help You Lose Weight?

The science & 7 vegan weight loss experts to follow

What does weight, nitric oxide (NO), and a plant-based diet have in common? It’s a trilogy of impact. The fewer plants we eat, the more weight we tend to carry, the lower our nitric oxide levels tend to be. On the flip side, the more nitrate rich plants we eat, the higher our nitric oxide levels and the leaner we tend to be. The difference between vegans that lose weight and vegans that don’t can be found on our plates and often in our lifestyles. 

Lifestyle-related illness arises as a result of impaired NO levels and poor endothelial health. A plant-based diet, according to research, can be a way to manage a healthy weight and steer clear of those lifestyle related illnesses. 

 

What research has to say about nitric oxide and weight loss

Study #1 - Nitric oxide plays an important role in reducing weight

A study published in Endocrinology reported that nitric oxide levels play an important role in reduced weight, reduced food intake, and as a regulator of energy levels. 

Study #2 - A plant-based diet and nitric oxide have anti-obesogenic effects

Anti-obesogenic is the action that counters the onset of obesity. One study from the University of Louisville School of Medicine linked nitric oxide and a plant-based diet with having the properties that help mitigate weight gain. 

Study #3 - A comparison of 5 different diets on weight loss

Spoiler alert, the vegan diet wins in a randomized study that looked at 5 various diets and their impact on weight loss. When comparing diets: low-fat, low-glycemic index, vegan, vegetarian, pesco-vegetarian/semi-vegetarian, and omnivorous,  the University of South Carolina’s School of Public Health found vegans decreased their fat and saturated fat levels more than any other group. The official outcome of the study: “Vegan diets may result in greater weight loss than more modest recommendations.”
