It's nice to hear from an open-minded vegan! I tried it and failed, although I had to eat very, very low fat (no added oils, no avocado, no nuts) in order to lose weight. I used the McDougall Plan. I'm realizing that a high fat diet is much more agreeable to me. Dr. Yildiz has written many great articles about high-fat diet, health, and weight loss: https://dr-mehmet-yildiz.medium.com
