The result was the 3,2,1,Zero diet which I've done for years.
Basically it's 3 parts veggies
2 parts simple carbs
1 part animal protien
Zero sugar. (although that's really not possible I try to never exceed 11 g)
Now that I'm old and don't care as much I follow the diet but drink beer on Sundays. Not much of a weight shift occurred as long as I keep the beer drinking to one day a week.

Take an iron pill. And vegans should be supplementing B12
