#2The MSN page is pretty distracting (maybe it needs an ad/sponsored-content removal diet :)) - here is the linked article which has a pretty good summary (probably as good the MSN article) at the top of the page:

Given that top body builders are vegans, I'd guess - not much

"The aim of our study was to compare the effects of a vegetarian and a conventional diet on thigh adipose tissue distribution in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D)."
The broader conclusion seems plausible to me, since a healthy vegetarian diet can have lots of high-fiber foods that give high satiation with relatively low calories. But: The study focused only on diabetic patients.

The actual study (linked above) examined subcutaneous and subfascial fat distribution, not weight loss or muscle mass.

#9I have been on a whole food no oil starch based vegan diet eating mostly potatoes and some other veggies with no fat for 5 months. I have lost 43 pounds eating as much as I wanted. I have done only a little exercise walking a little more but nothing crazy. I feel like I am 21 again though I turned 41 this weekend.
The Starch Solution by John A. McDougall is a great book. Also this video that just came out has a bunch of studies that I read before going on the diet. He does a good job at explaining them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHfbqodBXdw

Gonna need a source on that.
Seriously, no need to be so sensationalist.
All comment had to say is some top body builders are vegan. Even some notable NFL players are/have been vegan.
Even then, they go out of their way to get enough protein - I think the person you replied to was trying to go for shock value but it was a pretty bad comment.
