    Most people I know have had the opposite experience, where vegetarianism makes them lose weight, because they have cut a lot of fat out of their diet. But I had your experience when I first went vegetarian as well. I gained weight because I compensated for the lack of meat/protein in my diet by eating more carbohydrates, which could very likely be the reason for your weight gain as well. Switching back over to meat won't make you lose weight in itself, but having the added protein in your diet may make you eat fewer carbohydrates, which could result in weight loss.

    Also, as a vegetarian who has "relapsed" a time or two herself, I'd advise that you add meat back into your diet gradually, or the sudden shock of protein can make you pretty sick.

    Hope that helped! :)

    Yikes you must have been eating a ton of something. Typically you should'nt gain weight by going on a Vegan diet. Go for the meat and see how you do.
