Welcome aboard. My story is similar to yours and to save repeating it here's a link to my Testimonial on the main site.
http://www.rawpaleodiet.com/lex-rooker/I did the vegan thing, both raw and cooked, for about 15-20 years and had worse results than you. I now eat only meat and fat - no veggies or fruits at all, and I feel wonderful. I eat once per day in the late afternoon and consume about 2 lbs of raw grassfed beef. One of the keys is to get enough animal fat. Between 70% and 80% of my calories come from fat. I take no supplements and use no seasonings other than a bit of salt. I'm 57 and now have the energy that I did in my 20s and 30s. I also lost about 60 lbs (current weight is 160) and my waist went from a 39-40 to a 32. I'm actually able to wear a suit that I purchased in 1976 (much to my wife's annoyance).
I found that once my body fully adapted to the all meat diet, I have little or no desire for fruits, vegetables, starches, or dairy products.
When eating out I just order a couple of the largest steaks they have on the menu and ask for them as rare as the chef can make them. Then slather them with butter to raise the fat content and munch away.
I've been eating this way for close to 4 years now and none of the predicted problems such as vitamin deficiencies have occurred. Blood pressure dropped, blood sugar dropped and stabilized, weight dropped, and energy increased. It doesn't get much better than that.
