Can I lose weight faster if I stop eating meat?

I do pilates and Cardio work outs 3 or 4 times out of the week. I haven't eaten meat since last Tuesday.

People lose weight after going vegan because they generally consume less fat, processed food, and less calories because plants are lower calorie than animal products. Those are the only reasons. It will help you, but going vegan and calorie restricting at the same time won't be healthy and you could end up with deficiencies. I did lose weight though and I wasn't even trying. I was eating over 2000 calories a day, but I kept my carb/fat/protein ratio to roughly 80/10/10. The weight loss was nice, but I did it for ethical and environmental reasons. Also, dairy products are worse for your health than meat is so if you're doing this for purely weight loss reasons, it makes more sense to ditch dairy than it does to ditch meat.

No. Unless you talk about muscle breakdown, which is not healthy. You need proteins, whether animal or vegetable to build and/or keep your muscle mass. To loose weight you must focuss on fat burning and reduce your calorie intake from carbs and only eat healthy carbs

Weight loss is all about calories in vs. calories out. Where those calories come from doesn't matter. What it does affect is your body's tendency to retain water, so changing your diet may make you more or less prone to bloating.

I don't think it works like that, if you cut chicken and replaced it with pasta you'd get nowhere. Meat isn't bad, some vegetarians and vegans just skew science to make idiots believe it is.
