Well, being a vegetarian is in direction opposition to the diet I've followed all my life.
We are following Dr. Greger's How Not to Diet strategies which has us eating no fats, no meats, and no wheat flour. What are we eating? Green vegetables, real grains, beans, fruits and berries. Those last, the fruits and berries have been off my plate most of my life.
Oddly enough, I'm slowly dropping weight. And, Dr. Greger is right, I'm fully satisfied. I've had to give up almost all nuts due to my kidney's getting a bit pissy, so that's probably another area that helped for weight loss.
But, I've found I don't really miss oils, butters etc. on my food. I just use a bit of real honey - another shocker. I can make a wonderful dessert cobbler with a cup of real fruit and oat flour, with rolled oats to make a nice streusel.
So, for now, this has been a wonderful new experiment.
