Hi tmatrocks!
I'm not sure how many people are doing veg. Atkins, but I definitely want to cut down on the amount of meat and chicken I eat.
I did vegetarian for a year, and all that soy caused a lot of health problems for me.
I just
today found a product called QUORN (say it 'kworn'). Here is a link to their website -

I really like how I feel eating more veg. My concern was how to get enough protein, if I'm not eating soy.
Beans have some protein, but also carbs, and the fiber (or something) in them makes it harder for the body to absorb the protein, or so I've heard. I haven't researched that for myself, yet.
I also have to watch my cholesterol. The saturated fat in the meat and chicken really gets to me.
So, Quorn is my next interest. I'm planning fish for dinner tonight, but I'm definitely going to find some Quorn this weekend and give it a try.

If you watch your carbs, you can call it Atkins!
And, BTW, GREAT job so far with your weight loss! You must feel fantastic!
Best wishes!
