It sounds like you are already following the approach. He recommends lots of veggies (except for potatoes), with 1/2 raw and 1/2 cooked (up to 2 pounds/day but generally as much as you can eat). 3-4 fruits (or servings in the case of berries). 1 cup of beans/day. Smaller amounts of (whole) grains or potatoes (I think 1/2 cup). A couple tbsp or raw seeds and/or raw nuts. Smallest amounts of dairy or meat (10% of your overall diet).

I haven't been able to do vegan or vegetarian in the past either, but with this approach to eating, so far I haven't really craved or missed meat. I eat some occasionally, but haven't felt the need. It's been more a practical issue than anything else.
