I lost about 15 pounds of flab after becoming vegan. The main thing is to include a variety of fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains in your diet. (Nuts are also healthy, but eat them sparingly because they're fattening.) Just being vegan doesn't guarantee weight loss -- after all, there's such a thing as soy ice cream! I really recommend the book Skinny Bitchh... it's a diet book written by two vegans and it includes four weeks' worth of vegan menus.
