A recent study has found that eating like a caveman i.e. veggies, can really help in losing large pounds rather than opting for crash diet plans.

The Sky News experiment examined their four viewers on four different diets and observed that Paleo diet resulted best to lose weight over 21 days, the Sky News reported.

Rick Miller, dietician said that often with crash dieting people lose water weight and sometimes muscle mass too, but body fat is exactly what dieticians focus on as it reduces health risk, and vegetarian diet plan helps in achieving the aim.

Diet plans were followed by these four individuals, but accelerate the loss they were also asked to increase their physical activity like running, walking, etc.
