Neither diet will have you restrict how much you eat, if you are hungry you need to eat, just eat quality food.

Personally I eat a blend of the two out of pure laziness. I eat vegan on my own, but the wife will cook all sorts of things and hell if I am turning down a meal. Also the guys at work will go out to eat and sometimes that involves a burger joint. I also have pop with booze. So it not like I follow them 100% and no doubt have a lot of room for improvement but i don't look out of shape by any means and only work out I do is going to work (commercial/industrial electrician). Eventually I would like to develop a work out routine and just stick to a pure vegan diet.

With any diet I highly suggest you do your research on them. Many fad diets will make you lose weight until the point your body is giving out due to malnutrition so you either end up in the hospital or eat a bunch of crap because you can't take it, reversing what you intended.

As far as exercise, cardio of any kind is what you want. Running, bike riding, dance, doesn't matter, get moving and you will be happy with the results.

A super easy way to to get started tho, only thing you drink is water, no pop, no coffee, no energy drinks. I've seen some pretty good results in myself and many other just from making that change.
I'm not much for the vegan diet, though I understand it. I do like my meat though, hahah!

Research will definitely happen. As I think about what I'm trying to do, I'm thinking I'm not necessarily trying to follow a specific diet per say, just wanting to eat healthy and for me that would simply mean eating good foods and generally eating the same things over and over again for the most part.. I really don't know what I'm trying to explain!

I'm definitely wanting to do some jogging with the dog.

And I'm already all over the only water thing!
