			A vegan diet could boost gut microbes that aid weight loss Switching to a vegan diet could help people lose nearly one pound in weight every week and significantly reduce their risk for diabetes, according to a study recently presented at this year’s Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Barcelona, Spain.
