This diet probably does work for some, but for those like me, if I tried to go on vegetarian diet at some point (and I did something similar), it can work for weight loss, but is not something that can be sustained and results in ending up at or beyond your original weight (again, for those similar to me).

"Fork over Knives" is straight up endorsing a vegan diet without really hammering the word vegan. It's hardly spoken in the movie all things considered. The key phrase is a plant based diet. They do cover dairy as well. One of the two main guys grew up on a farm and was taught milk being the perfect food. The movie also shows a MMA fighter who is a vegetarian/vegan.
