Question Vegitarian?

I have been vegetarian now for 4 years, and vegan for 3 of those. (vegan means you don't eat any animal biproducts ex: no dairy, no meat, no gelatin etc. ) I have struggled with my weight since I was about 10 years old (I am now 21). I am 5'10 and weigh 220. My goal is 160, or 155. I've found that because I am vegetarian I have been eating more carbohydrates than I should. Yesterday some friends of mine who have been on low carb diets inspired me to try it. I think to get around the problem of doing a low-carb diet with no meat, I will be substituting soy as well as other foods for meat. Does anyone have any tips that might give me more options as far as what I can eat ?
