Since January, I lost 5 1/2 - 7 1/2 pounds on my clean air diet, depending on the scale. I switched scales midstream due to technical difficulties of the Made in China (no offense) digital scale I bought on sale at Sears. I've since switched to the scale at the gym, which is old fashioned and probably accurate. My sort of self-created Clean Air Diet, another name for Vegan, has made me a better vegetarian cook. I like feeling lighter and fitting in my thinner clothes.
