" no meat, fish, cheese, milk, etc.
plus no sugar, no caffeine."
Your body didn't recognize any of this as food, so it scavenged as many calories as it could from this ruffage because it was under the impression that you were starving to death.
When you added real food to the diet your body thought the good times had come back and it didn't need to hang on to every calorie it could.
 could be.... I am a meat eater by nature

Herzog's right. The digestive system has a mind of its own.
And giving up delicious (fatty, salty, sweet) food won't make you live longer. It'll just seem longer. Moderation is key.
You must have been low on energy if you weren't eating as many carbs and weren't burning them either
The vegan diet is the right diet for humans, they say. You need to be eating the right vegan foods.
I bet it sped up your metabolism (which was probably moving at a snail's pace), like herzog alluded to. That's part of the reason why breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
does this mean i can send you christmas cookies???
Voted : You should be losing weight. Here's my guesses why you haven't been...
My thoughts were, what are you eating? Going vegan could mean you eat a bunch of vegan potato chips all day or eat nothing but fruit. Those things would make you gain weight, especially if you aren't eating the right size portion.
Portion control is key, also eating foods that have a lot of bang for their buck. Bulgur is awesome, I put it in a lot of stuff and it adds fiber, which fills you up and flushes you out. A vegan's diet should be so full of fiber that you are actually getting your 35 grams per day (something next to impossible for people who eat meat or dairy, which have no fiber at all). Once you get 35 grams of fiber in your stomach in a day, you will start losing weight #1 because you'll be always flushing yourself out (provided you are drinking tons of water too) and #2 you can start to 'cheat' a bit and eat some things that aren't as good for you. If you have those grams of fiber in your tummy at the end of the day, everything you eat after that, you only absorb like 30% of the calories and fat. It's like cheating.
What kind of stuff do you eat? Are you making sure to get lots of protein too, through beans and nuts?
