Why the combative tone? This is a blog post describing a personal experience, not a clinical trial. "Biased" or not, I did actually change my weight by 45 lbs over the past couple of years, with the main change in my eating habits going from omnivore to vegan.
The reason it came off a little combative, lol is mostly because I've spent way to much time in those other meat eater/veggie eater threads. Also, because I want the OP to be as informed as possible about what he's doing. I pointed out the bias, because your site pretty much makes anything but vegan, out to be unhealthy. Or that vegan is healthier then everything else.

It's not about specific foods to include and exclude. Lets include all whole foods, and exclude all processed foods. We can even include mostly raw foods ( non veggie included) and exclude cooked food. THAT would be a great comparison diet between the two sides.

And also, as I already mentioned. The main change in your diet was going from eating out all the time and not looking at any labels, to eating food that you prepared yourself as well as paying attention to everything you eat. It just so happens that you excluded anything non vegan.
