New Vegetarian Low Carber
Hey Everyone,
I am new on this board and have found it a great resource for vegetarian low carbing. Thank you!
A little about me: I began Atkins in February 2007 weighing in at 180 plus lbs (I stopped weighing myself so I think I was higher than that, ugh!) on a 5'5" frame. I lost 40 lbs in 6 months and managed to keep the weight off for two years. I have experienced some carb creep and now weigh 155 lbs and would like to get back to at least 140 lbs again.
I became a vegetarian two and half months ago for animal rights reasons. My eating plan will consist of vegetables, salads, berries, nuts, veggies burgers, soy and tofu. And I am adding cheese, fish, and shellfish back into my diet. I'm not sure if I can bring myself back to eating eggs which would help tremendously for meal plans. Eggs just turns me off. I've decided no milk, only this low carb soy milk by west soy that is 1 carb. Eventually I'll add back in organic plain yogurt, legumes, fruits, and some whole grains in moderation. So I am trying to figure this all out, develop meal plans and how to incorporate this with my low carb lifestyle.
