JustSmurfy, in the past when I've tried to do a vegetarian version of low carbing, I also found that I usually could get no lower than 35. But that took eating few vegetables and lots of soy-based protein that was "fake", like veggie burgers and hot dogs (at least in my case) and I prefer to eat "clean" whole foods.

Right now I'm doing the South Beach Diet and I'm at around 100-120 carbs/day. I don't weigh myself and I've only been at it for about 5 days but I do feel a lot of difference so far. For myself, eating higher carbs (ok, quite a bit higher!) and whole foods like beans and fruit is preferable to eating low carb and a lot of processed soy products.
