It should balance itself out, but maybe you need to make sure you are getting enough calories to maintain your weight. Good Luck :-)

I think the thing that really surprised me at first was how much you need to eat volume wise. The calorie density is a consideration I think some newbies don't make. You have to eat a much larger volume than on the SAD diet. Once I figured that out and the right balance of seeds and nuts for me, weight maintenance was actually much easier for me than when I was eating a cooked, non vegan diet. The vegan diet agrees with me so much better, I absorb and maintain a healthier weight.
