Identical twins Hugo and Ross Turner decided to conduct a small experiment related to the way they eat.
Hugo ate only a vegan diet for 12 weeks, while Ross followed a diet rich in meat, and the changes in their bodies were monitored by a team of scientists from King's College London. During the experiment, the scientists measured the change in their weight, cholesterol levels and muscle mass.
During that time, both of them trained in the gym five to six times a week, and they made sure that they prepared their meals so that they consumed an almost identical number of calories. At the end of the experiment, significant differences in their physical condition were shown.
Before eliminating meat from his diet, Hugo weighed 83.9 kilograms and had 13 percent body fat. At the end of the experiment, he weighed 82.1 kilograms, the percentage of fat in his body decreased to 12 percent. His cholesterol level also dropped, Insider writes. He said that he had more energy than before he changed his diet.

Ross began the experiment weighing 79.4 kilograms and 13 percent body fat. During the experiment, he gained 4.5 kilograms of muscle mass and 1.8 kilograms of fat tissue. At the end of the experiment, he weighed 85.7 kilograms, and his body fat percentage rose to 15 percent. His cholesterol level did not change.

This experiment was relatively short compared to other nutritional studies, and the twins confirmed that they would like to repeat the experiment for six or 12 months to get more accurate results.
