Cutting out meat is not significantly associated with weight loss. Cutting out simple carbohydrates, especially sugar, is.

True. Cutting out meat was a red herring. I need to eat more vegetables and fruits.

Honestly, my biggest concern is not losing weight at this point just being healthier.

I would replace this with cutting out processed meat or even just cooking more - ever tried to eat roast chicken without any greens on the side?
