One of the interesting side-effects of this "healthy" diet is that it made me crave sugar and sweets. Here I was attempting to be on a healthy vegetarian diet, and I was mortified that all I could think about was tootsie rolls, donuts, and cake.

I have never been so sick, depressed, and overweight as I was then.
I got lean but I was around 185. Which is fine but I was trying to look like an old school bodybuilder who would be that lean but weigh ~225.
So that was a failure.
