I just purchased the Insulin Resistant Diet and it seems to be the best of both worlds. It is low carb BUT not excessively so. You can very easily be a vegetarian on this program and it seems to make sense. There is a little in the book about vegetarian choices. But I have also been in contact with the Wellness Clinic in Spokane Washington, where Dr. Hart is (who wrote the book) and they have been very encouraging about doing this program as a vegetarian. Boca products were a good choice I'm told, along with beans, cheese, eggs, fatfree, sugarfree yogurt. Many of the soy products are good choices, just limit your carbs to 30 grams at a time along with at least 14 grams of protein. Any way, blessings to all.
