Are vegetarians thinner than meatatarians..

Untrue. No matter what the people who say this is true are saying. I knew two vegetarians, one was thin as all get out, the other was larger than me at my highest weight. Same thing for two vegans I knew. Same thing for two omnivores. I tried going vegetarian for a week and gained three pounds. I added meat back in (lean meats, occasional red meat for iron needs) and lost the three vegetarian pounds AND THEN SOME. What works for one person does not always work for another one.

It all depends on the person.

I agree completely. I'm a vegan(90% of the time) in a home of meat eaters. When my husband tries to go on a vegan/vegetarian diet, he is miserable. He feels awful and tends to gain weight. Mind you, I'm not doing a vegan diet on chips and soda. We do eat actual green vegetables and balanced meals. If I try to eat a high protein diet where most of the sources are from meats, I feel awful and tend to gain weight. Therefore, we have struck a balance. Most of my vegan dishes are easy enough to add a meat course. If he is home for dinner, he has the option to do that. It totally depends on the person.

If you are interested in trying it, http://www.nutritionmd.org is a great website to learn how to do Vegan meals the right way.

Again, if you want to lose weight you need to burn more calories than you put in your mouth.
