Jericho,
Good for you wanting to try the low carb diets. I am also vegetarian and was dismayed to read in Atkin's book to "reconsider" my beliefs. I have been on Atkin's for 2 1/2 years and although it is not as easy as meat eaters, it is possible. I live off the protien bars and cheese. I am funny about eating eggs so I only eat them when I feel I can stomach them. Good luck to you!
