 Have you found a particular approach to eating has worked for you both? I find my digestion is better when I adopt a more paleo like approach  
 Well I have tried them all I think. Cutting calories never worked for me. I was vegan for almost 3 years which was actually a pretty easy lifestyle for me, but I developed pretty significant anemia and craved red meat. I do credit a plant based diet with reversing my diabetes. I was full carnivore for a couple of years which was also pretty easy because it eliminates cravings if you are strict about it. My blood sugar has been stable for years now so I eat very low carb and smaller portions. My husband gets way too skinny on low carb so I just add things like potatoes, homemade protein ice creams to his diet. We both eat pizza he makes at home 1-2x/month with no issues. 
 It’s corny to be the centrist but I think vegans and carnivores have it right on both ends.

We should be eating lots of plants but we also need good quality meat.

Proper nutrition is exciting! 
 Vegans and carnivores can't be both right.
