I am a bit confused by the post. Being vegan should not be all about simple carbs. The better vegan diets I've seen are not heavy at all on carbs. I'll be the first to admit I can't follow a healthy and vegan diet well; it's difficult in a world where everything is dipped in cheese, oil, MSG, and whatever.
Soy is not a requirement for being vegan.
If you feel terrible by eating certain foods, don't rule out the possibility you have a food sensitivity. For example, if your big problems were with a high-carb diet, it might've been wheat gluten. Or with a high simple carb diet, you mightn't been having spikes in blood sugar, since carbs go straight to sugar.
