Hi guys!
yes feel free to look in my journal. A lot of the pages I try to include recipes or links to them so I hope that can be helpful. Elsah, another vegetarian who I write with also often has good meal tips as well.
Atkins does say to limit cheese type products to 4oz a day (sometimes I go over that) but I would eat the high fat ones for sure. You don't need to start eating the low fat dairy products until you get to maintenance (if even then) and start including more healthy carbs in your diet. Some other low carb diets such as south beach, you do eat low fat dairy, but that is because you consume a greater amount of carb.
Allowable veggies that are filling are up to you. I personally like salad greens, spinach (you can eat a TON of that with few carbs), green beans, and cauliflower. I guess it is your personal taste. There are many veggies out there you can try!
Best wishes to both of you in your weightloss success!!
