Start just to eat just a little. People that had stomach surgery, like a bypass, can only eat a little at the time. I started to eat meals of not more than 10 oz. Increased fiber with that, and reduced carbohydrates. I already lost 15 kilo's. Vegan is a good part of it, because meat is not so perfect anyway, but pasta's and white bread are all carbohydrate.

I've been doing the weight thing for years; mainly hard core distance biking to burn calories plus portion control and smart choices. But he best thing for weight control if you can't exercise is low-carb. Good Luck!

I’m sure you know this, but make sure to do research about proper vegetarian diet. I have seen many malnutritioned vegetarians because it’s easy to miss key nutrients and minerals with a limited diet. I have seen plenty of healthy vegetarians as well, and I have heard them say that diet is very important, lots of soy, nuts, and beans.
