I dont think you are correct on the losing weight idea. I know many vegetarians (both sisters and some friends), everyone I know that is either vegan
or vegetarian has gained weight since eating meat. I also noticed my sparring partner (boxing) is much weaker since he converted to just vegies. He
can barely keep up now. Just my 2 cents.

I have many friends who have stayed about the same weight since they've become vegitarians, or stayed the same weight since beginning to eat meat,
but that may have beeb because they included varied foots in their diets, proteins, lipids, etc.
My point is, just because you don't eat meat doesn't necessarily make you weak. Just as eating meat doesn't necessarily make you strong.
