It has evolved from a niche or specialized way of eating in the 1960s and 70s to a mainstream diet embraced by people from all over the world. A plant-based diet is solely based on vegetation and related sources, and do not contain any meat, dairy, or animal by-products. All foods included in this way of eating originate from plants, including a variety of meat and dairy substitutes, which are commonly found in grocery stores and markets. The characteristics of a vegan diet include fresh fruits, vegetables, and sprouts. Grains, soy-based foods, and legumes are also a significant part of plant-based eating. The focus is on sustainable, animal-free foods, and many vegans choose this way of eating for ethical reasons. Improving one's health and quality of eating are other reasons for plant-based eating.
Plant-based eating offers many benefits from the prevention and management of various diseases and health conditions to improved immunity and energy. Many people report weight loss, a sense of well-being, and more efficient metabolism as a result of eating vegan. It's more than a diet: veganism is a lifestyle and a long-term way of eating. In fact, most people who commit to a plant-based lifestyle continue for years, or a lifetime. The cessation of eating meat and dairy have been studied over a period of many years, and there are plenty of advantages:

Some study results indicated a steady increase in weight loss and maintenance with vegan and vegetarian diets, even where strict caloric restrictions were not followed. In general, plant-based diets help you lose excess weight.
